GeForce NX7900GS-T2D512E vs GeForce NX7600GS Noise

Hello,
I expect to start a new build shortly, and I am trying to build a low-noise computer that will last and maintain relevance for a few years and mainly support photoshop.   
My intended system:
* 2 x Seagate Barracuda ES 750 GB SATA drives, RAID1
* Antec SOLO Quiet MidTower case
* MSI 875X Platinum with a Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz Processor with 4MB Cache
* Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 2GB Kit DDR2-800 XMS2-6400
* 2 x Sony DRU-830A 18X Double Layer DVD±RW
* Zalman ZM600-HP HeatPipe Cooled 600w Modular Power Supply
* Samsung 244T-Black SynMaster 24in Analog/Digital LCD
* MS-VISTA Home Premium 64-Bit
* MSI GeForce 7600GS-256 or 7900-GS-512
My impression is the GeForce NX7600 sets the standard for low noise, but perhaps the NX7900GS-T2D512 doesn't generate much more noise?     Any reviews or info that has quantified the noise for the 7900GS-512?   I've found relatively good noise accounts for the 7900GS-256 so I presume the 7900GS-512 is similiar and will maintain relevance longer than say the 7600-256, and if the noise is low enough I'd probably rather buy the 7900GS-512.  Comments?
Thx. 
Scott

if you are looking for low noise, should get some VGA with passive cooling or water cooling solution.

  • NVidia GeForce 8800 GT *and* GeForce GTX 285 in a Mac Pro?

    Hi,
    my Mac Pro came with an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT, and I've now bought an extra GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition (for the Compute Level 1.3 double precision floating point capability in CUDA).
    (Everything bought from the Mac Store)
    I wasn't aware that I was expected to throw away the GeForce 8800 GT , what with the other three PCI-e slots being free.
    The GTX 285 (max requirement: 204 W) requires two extra PCI-e power connectors. The 8800 GT (max: 110 W) uses one. There are only two available from the motherboard though.
    So, *although I realize this isn't supported*, has anyone else managed to scrounge some current from somewhere else on the motherboard?
    I'm only using one hard drive and one optical drive and no other PCI-e cards. Surely the power supply (around 1000 W ?) can supply the extra?
    Does anyone know how much current the PCI-e extra power connectors are rated for?
    Thanks,
    colin

    Search long enough and you may find...
    According to this
    http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#pciexpress
    The PCI-e slot can supply up to 75 W, whilst a 6 pin cable can provide another 75 W.
    So:
    2 PCI-e slots + 2 auxiliary 6-pin connector = 300 W
    "Even with only two 12 volt lines the standard implementation of PCI Express power cables use large enough gauge wire and a good enough connector to provide much more than the three amps per wire required to provide 75 watts. Nonetheless, the 6 pin PCI Express power cable officially provides only 75 watts. *In all likelihood, however, real implementations of this power cable can provide far more than 75 watts.* "
    Hmmm

  • GeForce 7800 GT vs GeForce 6600

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me how much faster Aperture is on G5 dual-core with the GeForce 7800 GT compared to the standard GeForce 6600 on this machine?
    PM G5 dual core 2.3 6600   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I realize that this is a 7800 vs 6600, but just wanted to add......
    A buddy of mine came over with his MBP (ATI X1600 video card) with Aperture installed. The sliders on the MBP were much smoother than my Quad (Nvidia 6600) as well as scrolling thumbnails. The Loupe tool also reacted better, but still had some lag time, although not as jerky as my Quad.
    I have an .aplibrary on an external LaCie 500GB with FW 400/800. I connected it to my friends MBP (FW 400 only) and ran some tests with the Adjustments HUD and scrolling. I had 'Create new version with adjustment' checked in prefs.
    On the MBP, there was a slight delay (very, very slight) when creating a new version (instantaneous with its internal HDD) due to the speed of the external drive. However, the adjustment sliders were still much smoother than using the same external drive on my Quad (connected with FW 800).
    I could go on and on, but the point is this.....
    The Nvidia 6600 is a DOG of a card with Aperture. It has since been removed from the spec sheet on this page....
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/0.RSLID?mco=8 D19F826&nplm=MA438Z%2FA
    ....and is only a minimum requirement on this page....
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs.html
    Why it is on one page and not the other only Apple can tell us.
    The better question is "What is Apple going to do?". There are many of us that bought the new Quad, when it was first announced, with the Nvidia 6600. We have been left out in the cold. We were given a spec sheet that was wrong and no we are told that there are, NO UPGRADES!!
    In my order, the only other vidio card option was the $1650 Quadra card (too much). The Nvidia 7800 wasn't offered until after my Mac was shipped.
    Aperture was in the same order with my Quad, so Apple knew what I was getting and why I was getting it (Photo work). Yet 6 months later, Apple has yet to contact any of us with this issue.
    Yes, I tried customer relations. They offered me $60 off on a $200 purchase. Basically, spend $140 more in our store, STFU and go away.
    Joe, thanks for the 1.1 update, but my $5300 system is a 'Pig' running Aperture as compared to my friends $2800 MBP. And my friend can take his computer out anywhere he goes!!

  • I want to upgrade my Qosmios graphics card from GeForce GTX 670M to GeForce GTX 780M?

    Hi!
    I have a TOSHIBA Qosmio X875-Q7390.
    Its graphics card which is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M 3GB GDDR5 dedicated has broken down.
    Since I need to replace it, I'd like to upgrade it.
    To GeForce GTX 780M. Or even maybe to GeForce GTX 970M.
    What do you say? Can I?
    Thanks.

    Hymans123, welcome to the forum.
    Is this the video card that you want to buy?  If so, it should fit.  The length is 8.58".  You can make a template the size of the card to assure that it will fit with room for good airflow.
    There is one caveat, however.  Many of the GTX 750 series video cards require a UEFI BIOS to operate.  You can get this information from the manufacturer.

  • The video card Asus GeForce GTX 650 and GeForce GTX 750 are compatible with After Effects CC? An apology for my English.

    I will buy one of the two, but I urge confirm if any of them will help me with Newest After Effects CC. Thank you very much.

    This page lists the technical specifications for After Effects.
    After Effects doesn't really use the GPU for much besides the obsolete ray-traced renderer (see here), so either one should be fine. Some third-party effects, such as Element 3d from VideoCopilot, make use of the GPU, but their requirements are different from AE's and if you plan to use them, you should check their requirements before you purchase.

  • Nvidia Quadro 600, GeForce GTX 560 Ti or cheaper for Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3?

    Hello,
    I am a professional photographer and I am setting up a new PC (i7, Windows 7 64bit). But I have some troubles to choose the graphic card.
    I use Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 3, no video editing.
    Between the Open GL, Open CL, CUDA accelerations etc ... professional graphic cards models and consumer ones I am lost!
    The Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti seems more powerful and more versatile but I tell myself that if Nvidia has professional range there must be a reason.
    So in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 what would be the best: GeForce GTX 560 Ti or Nvidia Quadro 600?
    http://www.geforce.com/Hardware/GPUs/geforce-gtx-560ti/specifications
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-600-us.html
    Any reason to get a Quadro 2000?
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-2000-us.html
    Or the graphic card doesn’t matter much and I should take an entry-level GeForce to enjoy the HDMI and the silence? Which one then?
    Does the Quadro 600 manages 10bits display 10bits? And the Geforce?
    Any change announced with Photoshop CS6 and Ligthroom4?
    The only 3D application I use is Google Earth in 3D mode, does it make any difference?
    Thank you for your help.

    You say "no video editing"...  If that's going to be the case, and you won't use the Mercury engine in the Adobe Premiere Pro package, which needs the nVidia Cuda subsystem, then I recommend you consider the ATI brand over nVidia.
    Why?
    Because while neither brand's developers (ATI or nVidia) always release perfect drivers, I find ATI display drivers to be of consistently higher quality than that of nVidia releases.  What this means to you is generally fewer crashes or quirks.  ATI has also traditionally supported older cards into the future better than nVidia - this might matter to you in a few years.
    People ask me what video card I would recommend, and right now that would be a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 card.  I like this particular card because:
    I've had 100% success with VisionTek cards in a number of different systems, not only initially but they have all run as long as I have used them, without ever breaking down.
    The 6670 model uses very little power (under 70 watts) and as such doesn't stress your computer's power supply, need a separate power connection, nor make a lot of fan noise. 
    It's not the fastest card made for 3D gaming, but it's inexpensive and excellent for Photoshop.  No matter what you choose, you should get a card that scores over 500 on the Passmark GPU benchmark, ideally over 1000:  http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
    The ATI Catalyst display driver implementations for the 4670/5670/6670 line of cards have been good and solid.
    1 GB of on-card memory seems to be a good size, even for editing a lot of images, and GDDR5 memory provides faster access than DDR3.
    You should know that besides using Photoshop heavily, I also develop OpenGL-based software as well, so I have some additional insight into driver implementations.

  • Hi ! I have a big problem with my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 ! It may be broken or what seems to be the problem with the video drivers ? I have a built in internal Graphic 288 of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M of 512 of RAM !

    On Mountain Lion :
    It happens to turn of my monitor in different situations. Sometimes i believe i have my graphic video broken ! In my town i don't have Apple doctors so i dont risk to go to a service non authorized from apple !
    For example there was a day when it turns off when a simply pinch with thumb and 3 fingers for launchbad ...and the opperating sistem it should be restart from power button ! That was when i had Mountain lion 10.7.5 update
    Other situation was with photoshop cs6, cs5, cs4 30 days trial versions ...i couldn't buy any versions so i decided to test a earlier versions that can match with my sistem requirements. In all of this three situations my display had turned off after opening a image or photo or 3d graphics in photoshop...anyway sadness.
    Other situation : One day i was simply relaxing surfing facebook and ...than i've just simply open an advertising link ...and on that page i was waiting to load a video that used another player than flash player of youtube. Even two seconds didn't stayed open and trust me it turned off my display once again !
    After Mountain Lion :
    I told my story to to someone who holds an MacBook Pro i5 etc. and he told me to test the new mavericks maybe it's something broken in my operating system.... and believe me after 2 days of happiness with OS X MAVERICKS , last night my computer restarted because of a problem, and 2 hours ago again....why ? i don't know ! Maybe Video RAM or maybe Memory RAM or Maybe simple conflicts between Trial Photoshop and OS X or maybe my macbook it's 2 old...or i don't know ....for how much i used this mac it should run as an mustang !    MacBook Pro i7 Mid 2010 HDD 500 , 4 GB of DDR 3 , Intel built in Graphic 288 and an NVIDIA GE FORCE 512 , 15 inch display monitor , 283 real cicle counts ( my mac was used as an iphone while charging and using battery) ...i don't know what to do ! Please help !
    The Operating System shoes me everytime this error !

    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
    Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
             com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff

                dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • GeForce 8800 with GeForce 7300

    I'm looking for some advice... I am planning on purchasing a 30in LCD (Samsung 305T) and I'm wondering if I should upgrade my current GPU (GeForce 7300) to the GeForce 8800. Or if the 7300 is capable of driving the 30in monitor.
    My next question is whether or not I can re-utilize my existing GeForce 7300 GPU's with the 8800. If the 8800 is that much better than the 7300 I would like install the 8800 and connect the new 30in monitor to it. Then connect my existing 2 x 24" LCD's to the 7300 GPU's (one each, I have 2 x 7300).
    Will this be possible?
    Most of my time on the system is spend using standard desktop application like MS Office (70%). The rest of the time I spend in Aperture and Final Cut.
    Thanks in advance...

    I don't see the 7300GT on Apple Store, but Nvidia specifies:
    Dual-link DVI capability to drive the industry's largest and highest resolution digital flat panel displays up to 2560x16001
    So if you plan on only using a single 30", you are fine, but if you feel you need an upgrade graphics, the Radeon 2600XT would be my first choice actually. People are generally happy as a replacement for 7300 or even x1900. The first revisions had a noisy fan, but so too would the 8800GT. Two dual link DVI ports
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB198Z/A
    Someone last night said their 7300 and 8800 'don't get along' and having trouble, though it seems it should but make sure you get the right card.
    And there is the Radeon 3870.
    http://www.barefeats.com/harper16.html
    http://www.barefeats.com/harper15.html
    Even the 2600 can be used if you have Leopard.

  • Geforce titan or quadro k4000?

    Hello all -
    I'm hoping to get a little help/clarification on which card would better suit my needs, and appreciate any/all help. I'm probably at an intermediate level of understanding when it comes to the technical aspects of computers, so some of the finer points escape me.
    In short, i'm looking at two graphics cards to purchase as an upgrade: the geforce titan http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-titan/specifications or the quadro k4000 http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-desktop-gpus.html  .
    Currently, my setup is as follows:
    Intel Motherboard Dual Socket Xeon S5520SC
    Intel Xeon CPU Fan Heatsink STS100C
    2 x 2.26GHz Intel "Nehalem" Xeon Quad Core [8MB]
    12GB 1333MHz DDR3 Triple Channel SDRAM (6 x 2GB)
    1TB High Speed Hard Drive [64MB Cache, 7200RPM]
    StormDrive Dual Layer CD/DVD Writer
    850W Silent Power Supply
    Windows 7 Pro [64-bit]
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800 Workstation Graphics Accelerator [1GB]
    PCI 3 Port FireWire [TI Chipset]
    (additional) 1TB High Performance Drive [64MB Cache SATA 3 6GB]
    I use my workstation for projects and not gaming. And i used CS5 and Toon Boon Harmony as my two mediums for editing/creation. With CS5, it's my understanding that the quadro cards are preferred as they utilize some useful functions (such as mercury playback), and that they handle after effects better for the 3d issues. Conversely, Toon Boom Harmony suggests a geforce card over a quadro, as it corresponds with their software more "inherently" than a quadro. Granted, both programs would work well with either type of card, but is there one that is better fit to run both? And given my setup listed above, would the Titan card be massive overkill/be bottlenecked by slower components? Additionally, can anyone testify to a head to head matchup between these two cards?
    Thanks.

    I listed observations and testing results. The editing applications that have GPU acceleration and perform better with Geforce cards are professional applications used in all the media content creation industry. Davinci and Adobe are far more prevalent now than what few applications that benefit from the Quadro Open GL plugins. GPU acceleration in general has supplanted Open GL as the primary GPU processing. Since it has, the raw specs of the cards decide the performance. This has been tested and shown with results by far more people than myself. So these are not opinions. The 700 series cards are showing greater performance than the previous gen Nvidia cards so obviously the cards were not limited that much if at all. The applications caching models are currently limiting the performance of the current cards as are the CPU's available. The CPU's themselves have to decode the data first that get's GPU processed and create all of the buffers that transit the data down to the GPU for processing. That is where the current limitation is for the GPU processing load. GPU-Z is reflecting this when monitoring the GPU load during application processing. Only certain codecs with resolutions greater than 2K such as red are using enough frame data to really push the cards. This points to applications limiting performance and not the hardware. There are far more applications now using GPU acceleration that gain the benefit from the specs of the cards than there are applications that take advantage of the Quadro Open GL plugins
    Nothing you have mentioned supports any professional stability argument for the Quadro cards. I actually listed a current problem with the Quadro cards that effects any processing unit and that is heat. That has been observed in testing and long term support here with failed video cards. The Quadro k4000 series due to the single slot profile, limited cooling, and poor fan control has the highest failure rate. Those cards are averaging well over 80+C with GPU acceleration applications especially since they are using lower end GPU chips that are often at 75% load or greater. Time, experience, and results show the higher end Geforce cards have a higher stability probability due to heat generation and constant long term load percentage. The only reason scientific, medical, and engineering GPU acceleration applications are used with the Quadro cards is the ECC ram option. When processing data sets that take weeks to complete or have extremely high cost involved in research, errors due to GPU ram is not something those R&D entities want to risk. In those scenarios the Quadro cards are the best choice. That is the only stability based advantage the Quadro cards bring to the table. That however no real impact on media content creation which we are discussing in this forum.
    Results and observations don't require a resume of experience to validate. Simply perform the testing as other have done like myself and list them here. I am stating results and observations that have been reported by many others so the validation is the simply the number of results that reflect the same data. If you disagree then report your results and let others either duplicate or disprove. That is not blind faith but simply data. Listing a bunch of marketing material as facts does nothing to validate your argument and are not facts as you state. They are marketing points that can be interpreted any number of ways hence the lack of any real value to the actual editors or content industry in general.

  • Looking for how to run both a Quadro 4000 and a geforce card win7 please

    hello,
    way back when i built the window 7 editing rig i tried to get a quadro 4000 and a geforce 9800 GT (older version) to work together to get 4 displays going
    but i had stability issues so i got another quadro and never had a problem
    however, reading this recent thread
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1258243?tstart=0
    it sounds like users are able to mix quadro 4000 with geforce cards
    using the geforce for the cuda processing and the quadro for the output
    i still want to run 4 monitors (2 from the quadro 4000 and then 2 from the geforce card (open to suggestions here)
    if i can mix cards now i'd like to get a geforce gpu to help out with 4k editing of a feature (probably red scarlet)
    and use the quadro for 10bit output
    as always positive feedback is appreciated, cheers, j

    hello,
    no i am still sticking with cs6 for now
    and i found where i had read the instructions before
    (an answer to one of my own previously asked questions):
    Install Quadro Driver full installation via Wizard.
    Decompress Geforce Driver latest version but do not run Wizard install.
    Manually update Geforce Card driver via Device manager by pointing to Nvidia/Geforce folder
    Launch Nvidia Control Panel and set the GPU Acceleration to Geforce card only.

  • CS4 and IGP Geforce 8200, not supported why?

    Hey,
    I have a motherboard with a Geforce IGP 8200 Chip.
    The openGl is 3.0. So I think the opengl in Photoshop have to work or is the IGP to weak?
    With a ATI 4670 it works fine and this card is not listed in the kb eather.
    Thanks

    Hey,
    yes we are talking about CS4 and I updated everything: directX,
    I have drivers for the IGP 8200/ 730a. The normal WHQ Driver 182.50 WHQL @ Nvidia has integrated the 8200.
    And I have a normal motherboard ( ASROCk K10N78-1394):
    Supported Cards:
    GeForce 8400 GS
    GeForce 8400
    GeForce 8300 GS
    GeForce 8300
    GeForce 8200
    GeForce 8100 / nForce 720a
    GeForce 7950 GX2
    GeForce 7950 GT
    even with the nVidia nForce 15.26 driver (Version 15.26 for: nForce 980a, 780a, 750a, 730a ...) there is no chance. So I think the IGP are unsopported by Adobe?

  • Powermac G5 & GeForce 6200 Do I Really Need To Flash The Card?

    Here I go Again! I got a nice deal on a Powermac G5 1.8 & I would like to Upgrade the AGP Graphics Card. I have a Card that the sites say will work, but since it came out of my PC, they talk about needing to Flash The Card first. The procedure is a long winded one & I'm wondering if this is really needed. I don't want to just put the card in the G5 & have something fail. BTW. the Graphics Card is a Geforce 6200 DDR2 256MB AGP. The other thing that concerns me is the G5 takes DDR PC3200 Ram & this Graphics Card is DDR2. Will that make a difference? So does anyone have experience on this sort of thing? I would appreciate the Help. Thanks in advance.

    The  256 MB of VRAM might run bigger or more Displays, but won't be any faster than a 64 MB card for that reason alone.

    According to your G5 specification the ATI Radeon 9800 XT with 256MB of DDR SDRAM will work.
    +(Notice that there are few models of 9800 i.e.: 9800 64MB, 9800 128MB, 9800 Pro Mac Edition, and some of them are for the older computers)+
    But the fastest card for your computer is Nvidia 6800 Ultra DDL or ATI X800XT.
    The ATI you can find here:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435338OB/
    6800, usually is much more expensive and not easy to find.

  • PrPro 5.5 and nVidia GeForce 7600 GT - do they get along..?

    This question should probably be directed to nVidia, but since I know that this forum is used by some very talented people, my hopes are that there's one out there that can help..:
    After installing Premiere Pro 5.5, using 2 x nVidia GeForce 7600 GT GPUs, I've experienced multiple BSOD's while exporting HD footage from PP 5.5 through Adobe Media Encoder 5.5. Furthermore I've experienced several occations of my screens going black for a second, followed by a "Your GPU driver stopped working and was restarted" Windows message.
    I suspected the problems to be related to the co-relation between PP 5.5 and my GPUs (the "driver stopped"-thing almost for certain) and by checking the Adobe GPU compliance list and not finding my GPU there, my suspicion was enhanced.
    However, on its driver download site nVidia states that the latest driver 275.33 "Supports the new GPU-accelerated features in Adobe CS5". This statement is not limited to certain versions of GeForce GPU's, so I have to assume that it counts for the 7600 family as well.
    So my questions are as follows:
    • Am I right in assuming that my BSOD problems can be related to the GPU?
    • If so: Keeping in mind that nVidia states that the 275.33 driver supports Adobe CS5's GUP accelerated features, is there any way around forging out a fortune on a new GPU to make things work as intended..?
    My set-up:
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ 2200 Mhz • Motherboard: M2N32-SLI Premium Vista Edition • RAM: 4 GB Kingston HyperX pc3200 • GPU: 2 x MSI NX7600GT Diamond Plus (Sli) • Harddisks: 4 x Hitachi SATA, total of 1360 GB • OS: Win 7, 64 bit

    Arne,
    Don't feel so bad about this. You're not alone in experiencing such indifferent support. AMD, the owner of ATi, is even rougher than Nvidia when it comes to support of older GPUs: AMD has ceased further driver releases for all of its GPUs older than the HD 2xxx series except for critical compatibility fixes (the so-called "legacy support" status), beginning with the Catalyst 9.4 drivers (which pre-date the release of Windows 7).
    By the way, if you don't perform any tweaking or hacking (software-wise), the only Nvidia GPUs that are certified to run in GPU-accelerated mode in CS5.5 are:
    GeForce GTX 285
    GeForce GTX 470
    GeForce GTX 570
    GeForce GTX 580
    Quadro FX 3700M
    Quadro FX 3800
    Quadro FX 3800M
    Quadro FX 4800
    Quadro FX 5800
    Quadro 2000
    Quadro 2000D
    Quadro 2000M
    Quadro 3000M
    Quadro 4000
    Quadro 4000M
    Quadro 5000
    Quadro 5000M
    Quadro 5010M
    Quadro 6000
    Quadro CX
    The other GeForce GPUs of the GeForce 8xxx or later series with 896MB or more RAM can be made to work in the GPU-accelerated mode in CS5.5 by modifying the cuda_supported_cards.txt file. Your 7600 GT will not work at all in that mode because not only the card has too little RAM, but is also too old.
    Hope this helps.
