GNB Max-SR......What Video Card??

What video card upgrade.....MSI-FX-5600-VTD256 or what?
Running the MS-6565(v2) GNB Max with Bios 2.2.
1g Kingmax in duel mode
P4-2.53
MSI-G4Ti4600 agp4x
Thinking it's time for a DX9 card.
Thinking about the Radeon 9600 Pro but I
here there are problems with the GNB and
Radeon cards.
Thanks
Jutias

The Ti4600 will trash the FX5600 in any situation and the Radeon9600 in most situations.
If you want to upgrade the minimum that would be considered an upgrade is a Radeon9700, but a 9800/ 9800 pro/ FX5900F/ FX5900U are better choices.
You can also wait since the Ti4600 can run pretty much anything on the market right now with AA at a reasonable frame rate, and upgrade towards the begining of 2004 when the 2'nd generation of DX9 cards starts shipping (these are the estimates right now).

What video cards are supported for os X?

What video cards are supported for os X? besides the one apple sells.

There is no official list from Apple, since they don't support hardware besides what they will install. YOu can look up support for certain cards, since people have used 3rd party ones. YOu should be able to come up with a particular cards compatability.

What video card do I need to make Photoshop CC 2014 to use 3D? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB graphics.

What video card do I need to make Photoshop CC 2014 to use 3D? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB graphics.

A couple of questions:
1. Have you tried resetting your preferences?
2. If you go to Preferences > Performance - is "Use Graphics Processor" enabled? If not, can you select it?
Your system should be fine to support 3D in PS CC 2014. Once I have more information from you we can move onto next steps if necessary.
Thanks,

How do I export FCP project to DigiBeta -- what video card?

How can I export my 90 minute movie edited in FCP to a rented DigiBeta deck, so it will be broadcast quality? What video card do I need to buy? I can't afford an HD, so an SD card is fine for now. Where do I get one? And how much? Are they easy to install? Is it as easy as transferring to mini-DV, but to digibeta? Are there controls while transferring, or does it automatically make a perfect clone of the FCP project onto DigiBeta? I can't find info on video cards in SD anywhere for the MAC. Thank you.

See if this helps.
In the analog world, every generation - copying from one tape to the next - loses quality. A generation of BetaSP doesn't destroy the material, but a generation on VHS pretty much does.
If you have something important that is already on VHS, it will still lose some quality going to BetaSP. Probably not enough to matter, but the best quality will still come from that VHS tape.
The analogy to digital video:
Contrary to what everybody thought in the early days, digital video often works the same way. As soon as you commit images to DV compression you have compressed it and lost a lot of the quality of the otiginal camera signal.
As soon as you apply transitions, filters, CC, etc. in editing, you are recompressing and losing more quality. Sometimes these two compressions create visible problems.
Fortunately, outputting that product to DV tape is a digital clone of the date and loses no quality. So there is nothing gained by going to DigiBeta from your system as compared to taking a tape out for transfer.
But when you take that DV edit from DV format to DigiBeta, it is being compressed again. It will lose quality. Not as much as another DV recompression, but enough to make any visible artifacting worse.
The best thing, in my oopinion, for you to do is to move your bits into a DigiBeta-equivalent sequence (is that the same as DVCPro50?) and render. Then find a way to get that into DigiBeta - most likely from hard drive at a service bureau or dub house.
The second best thing you can do is to tell the dub house that your deliverable is going to be DV. If it makes them feel any better you can provide it as a QT file.
In the end DigiBeta will not add to your quality but decrease it. Probably not a enough to matter, but enough to be a ridiculous requirement under the corcumstances.
Also consider whether they are working for you, or you are working for them.

655 Max FISR SATA & Video Card Troubles

Hi all
I put together my 655 Max FISR (non HT) based system 3 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems (this is the third PC I've built and it's the only one to have caused major problems). Initially the memory and video card were problematic, stopping me from installing Windows XP, but having read some of the other threads the poor old 655 seems to have lots of problems with various components.
My motherboard hated the Crucial Technology PC3200 512Mb memory (CT6464Z40B) I put in DIMM 1 and the MSI 5600U VTD-128 video card. Anyway suffice to say I solved the problems easily enough. I swapped the memory and the video card over with that in my MSI 645e Max U (the video card was a Connect 3D Radeon 7500 for info). The 645 runs beautifully with no problems whatsoever, unlike the 655!
I've now upgraded the Radeon 7500 to a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT which works really well. So if you are having problems with a card based on an nVidia chipset (which Win XP keeps saying has drivers that don't pass the compatability test) I'd try the ATI cards.
My main problem now is with the two Western Digital SATA drives I've got setup in a RAID 0 array.
Firstly I'm getting poor disk transfer rates (I used the SiSoftware Sandra utility to benchmark the file system, and got a really poor 23Mb/s). As an example Windows XP loads up in 1 minute 8 seconds from power on, unlike the 645 with a 80Gb Maxtor DiamondMax 9 which does it in 45 seconds - I was getting Windows up in 32 seconds after initial installation of XP!!! Now I know I've got PC2100 memory in this machine, but it seems to have got slower since I did a driver and Windows XP update (hope this isn't anything to do with the I've downloaded).
The second problem is a bit more serious, one of my Raptor drives keeps dropping off line when I run either the error checking or defragmentation tools in Windows. The computer shuts down and re-boots only to tell me there's been a problem (a drive has failed or disconnected) before asking for a boot floppy. Fortunately, if I delete then redefine the array I get the system up and running again, but it is annoying! Problem is, with the 655's reputation, I don't know whether I have a motherboard, cable or drive problem. A limited trouble shoot by swapping over the drives has ascertained which one the system alleges to keep failing, but I'm now stuck, short of trying new cables, or buying a SATA RAID controller and sticking it in the 645 to see if it is one of the drives that's at fault.
So any ideas on the drive situation?
Best regards

Apologies for being away for a while, been busy with work & sorting out a pair of bad Raptors drives! Thanks for the replies from Hellwolf_36 and simps.
I can now report that after I'd worked out that I'd got not one but two damaged 74Gb WD Raptor drive (one had a lot of bad sectors and the other would take over two hours instead of 20 minutes to format which is why I was getting that stop message) and I had replaced the memory with one stick of the Kingston KV400X64C25/512 DDR, my 655 is now working quite well. I haven't got round to checking if I've got the latest C-media driver installed though.
One thing I did do though was set up my Raptor drives as two independant arrays (C: & D:) rather than RAIDing them. This is because, I didn't want to stripe the drives just in case of another failure, plus I have more flexibility over storage space not mirroring the drives, unti lI can afford to by another hard drive or two. Anyway they're really fast in the first place.
For this motherboard I wouldn't bother with any other type of memory other than the KV400X64C25 as recommended on the MSI website, as it's quite fast and no hassle, (can't wait to get my second 512Mb so I can go back to dual channel!!) Only problem is that the price has gone up a little bit over the past couple of months.
So apart from this MoBo being particular about graphics cards and memory it's not too bad. My next challenges are too sort out the center/sub problem and network this baby.

What video card w/ specs are needed to drive the "master" thunderbolt 27" display?

Figure that thie new ThunderBolt display will also work with non-MAC systems i.e. a PC running WIN 7 64b. Just curious what
video card(s) are recommended to use with this new monitor. Currently using the EVGA "Classified" GEForce GTX590 card to power
a 30" Apple Cinema Display and the 27" Apple Cinema Dispay - both work great - w/no issues at all.

Hello,
I too agree with the points Mylenium stated. We have discussed about multiple computers (desktop & laptop), but people don't like the mess it would cause in terms of file syncronization etc. And it would also mean double effort for the IT to maintain all the software updates etc. in that many computers. We do work quite a lot in meetings etc. and work and collaborate directly with using these programs. So it would mean double work to first make notes in a meeting and then do work in another computer according to the notes. So the decision of using a good laptop is not random but thought.
Our current laptops were selected in the CS2 era and they have survived well updates up to CS4. I haven't yet tested what CS5.5 would do in terms of performance and usability. The idea of changing and configuring a computer every year according to the latest models and software requirements does not sound good. That's why I stated the point that the computer to be selected should survive at least a few CS updates.
SSDs. I don't see them pricely at all. We've changed SSDs to the current laptops and they increased their lifetime by at least two years. Incredible increase in speed! I really do recommend SSDs and would not even consider using mechanical drives anymore. In general I don't see the price of the laptop as problem -- it costs a lot more to configure and install the computer than the price of the computer. And if the computer is slow and/or needs to be changed often to a new model, it costs even more in lost employee performance.
So conclusion up to now:
- Win 7 64 bit
- 8 GB memory
- SSD drive
- min i5 processor
- Graphics card? Mobile Quadro NVS 3100M?
So the current computer model could be:
Dell E6410
- Intel Core™ i7-640M
- NVIDIA® NVS 3100M 512MB gDDR3
- 14.1” WXGA+ LED Display (1440x900)
- 8 GB dual channel DDR3 memory, 1 333 MHZ
- 128 GB SSD

Next machine build coming. What video card?

My graphics computer is now a few years old, and I am about to build a couple of machines for myself and a colleague. As usual I'll be installing a high quality mother board, the fastest processor we can afford. loaded with as much matched memory as we can afford. Fast boot time is not a concern so we won't bother with any solid state drives, but we will probably install a quality hybrid drive for o/s and primarily CC applications, plus a honking big 10K rpm dedicated drive for a scratch disk. In the past I have seen the value of a dedicated, fast, high capacity scratch drive, so a respectable part of the budget will go there.
But, also as usual, the question of choosing a graphics card has me in a quandary. All of the high end cards seem only to be described and reviewed for their use in gaming. Sure we have a lot in common with gamers, but not everything. My colleague and I do most of our work on still images, often having 100 layers at 4K resolution. Figuring 5K is here now, I expect the next graphics subsystem better be capable of 5K at least. I do a small amount of video, but usually for YouTube and I assume as long as a card is capable of producing video at that level, it should be OK. More important is fast refresh when using large brushes. My test of acceptable video performance is how well it keeps up when I use graphics intensive tools like the mixer brush or blur tool.
These will be Intel i7 based processors running Windows 7 initially, with plans to migrate to Windows 10 next autumn. Nothing against Apple, just not in our shop.
So folks. What graphic card would you recommend and why?

PixbyTed. I am using that 980 GTX card at the moment (4gb ram - $500). Been so for just short a month. So far, mostly so good. Viewport glitches I used to see working with my much older original Quadro4000 in these new Adobe apps are completely gone. Working with 3D elements is smoother and definitely more capable. i didn't bother before with my older Quadro cards. Thin horizontal line issues I used to have are gone. I would say that I'm not really impressed with the speed of working with Mixer brushes if the ppi is very high. I was hoping for more there. Maybe some top tier Quadro cards (6000?) make these work. Maybe updates to better recognize this card will help in the near future. I still have that lag behind my mixer brushes even if working slowly. Of course it works much better on smaller and lower resolution or web images. Others have said these cards aren't a huge leap over 780ti(costly still). I never used one of those, or GTX 650 or 550 Ti's. We also are almost exclusively intel pc users here. The recent workstation we built is of the most recent from HP with high levels of ram and all solid state drives. It's a shame I still can't get real time mixer brush use going. It's an amazing feature. One day I would like to try someone's machine that can actually use those mixer brushes like we all would expect them to work. My guess is some of the newer touch apps on mobile tablets will beat me to that punch. We took a shot at this 980gtx card as the midrange Quadro's are just not keeping up right now. $500 verses junk midrange Quadros in the 1k to 3k range works for me now. Some of those older titaniums with insane cuda cores amounts and larger video ram amounts that have been approved for a while might be the best shot at this moment if you can find them. Titans are behind yet. From what I've read, some interesting yet probably costly updates to Quadro and Titan lines will be of significant help in the kind of images/video you might be working with.
The 980gtx is recognized by photoshop and others with the most recent updates. At first install early December, both AE and PS warned it wasn't accepted. After updates mid December it was recognized. I still haven't pushed it hard with Premiere or AE and haven't done any 4K video yet. Can't report use on that. I'm wowing some people with point cloud usability in other apps at the moment however. For some things this card, with it's gaming drivers, is amazing and already showing its value. I've seen a few glitches such as dialog window focus problems in PS pop up now and then. Still not sure if it's card related or not, and it's not all the time. Hope this helps.

How can I tell what video card and how much video memory does my iMac have?

How or where can I find out: which video card does my iMac have and how much video memory does it have? I've tried looking in System profiler, but I did not see it there. Thank you.

Once you open System Profiler there should be a line called "memory" which is the RAM (vs. hard drive size which is not what is called memory), e.g., Memory: 1.5 GB
For video click on the line Graphics/Displays and look at the chipset line, e.g., Chipset Model: GeForce2 TwinView
Kappy's instructions are handy for checking the original configuration of your computer, but that may have been changed at some time, especially if you bought it secondhand.

What video card should I purchase for old iMac?

I have an old Mac 24 inch, and it seems that the video card is not working. How do I find which video card to purchase? I have a serial number.

You could take a look into an appropriate repair guide to see what is shown for your model build identifier version of iMac (intel) with a 24-inch display; there were at least three models with that size display. Not a single one, was of PowerPC architecture.

Depending on which one it actually is, could change processes
involved, availability, part numbers, or price of parts.
Good luck & happy computing!

Aperture Dual monitors, what video card for AGP?

I am running two 20 inch apple monitors with the stock ATY 128 mb card. I am going to be upgrading the card soon because the system is so slow. I know that I am limited because this system can only use AGP cards.
What is the best AGP card available?
Also, will I notice a huge difference if I add even more ram?
powermac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

That is probably enough RAM, if you aren't also running with Photoshop running all the time.
You should open Activity Monitor and keep an eye on the page outs under memory. If that number is growing rapidly, then you need more RAM. Otherwise, you don't.
The video card will make a very large difference -- if you can actually find it.

I have a p6240f. what video card will run battlefield 3 and run on my cpu.

i have a p6240f. what do i need to do to run battlefield 3 and mw3

Hi,
You might want to review the system requirements for Battlefield 3. I don't believe that MW3 is on the market yet although it can be preordered.
You will also need to upgrade the power supply.
As for a video card, I would recommend the AMD Radeon 6850. It's $130 after rebate. The Corsair CX500 is a quality power supply priced at $40 after rebate.
These are the motherboard specifications for your PC. The slot adjacet to the PCI-E x16 slot needs to be vacant.
These HP "how-to" articles should be helpful with the hardware installations.

What video card should I run ?

I just bought an imac core duo and I cannot open final cut express. I get an error message stating that I need an AGP graphics card. What kind works well and can I install it in an imac?

Changing the video card would not work and in any case I don't think it could be done on the iMac.
You may be able to get FCE to work by reading this article:-
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=335392&tstart=0
However, even if you get it to work it is likely to be slow and unsatisfactory.
Your best course of action is to wait until the end of March when Apple is introducing a new version of FCE that will run on both the old and the new Macs.
You will be able to upgrade (if you have FCE HD) or buy new.
Ian.

What video cards will the p7-1423w support?

I would like to upgrade my video graphics to something that will support Witcher 2. I picked up a video card but then realized the power consumption is too great for this pc. Any suggestions on what card I can get that will support this type of graphics? (It is a windows 8 machine if that makes any difference.)
Thanks!

Hello Leach69,
There are two things to consider when purchasing a video card. The slots that are available in your computer and the power supply that is already in the computer. If you are looking to play modern games you are going to need a good video card, as you already know. I would suggest that you also consider upgrading your power supply to something that provides more power so that you can use that card that does use more power consumption.
Upgrading the power supply is also going to give you the freedom to do other upgrades in the future if you choose to do so. The power supply that is currently in your computer is only 300w from what I can tell, this means you are going to be extremely limited.
I'd suggest upgrading your power supply to something around a 550w - 600w then you can get just about any video card you want as long as you have the slot for it.

How do I know what video card will be compatable?

Hi, I think I need a new video card, but I'm really not sure what new card will be compatable with my computer , an HP m9077c that operates with Vista.I see it has an Nvidia Geforce 8500 gt in it now, but looking for new ones to buy I see things like (XFX PVT 86JYAHG GEforce 8500 GT 450mhz 512mbgddr2svideo/dvi/vga/pci express16 ) for $35 , but then I see right next to it plain old GEforce 8500 gt for $111. What's the difference?I just want a replacement, it doesn't even have to be the same brand, as long as it will work as well or better. How can I tell which one will be compatable?
This question was solved.

Hi:
I would go for a newer video card like this one.
It should perform along the lines as your 8500 or better.

HELP! What video card can i upgrade with?

Hello,
First thanks for looking at this post. Alright so my problem is I have a MSI GT780DXR with the GTX570M Nvidia card in it. I am wanting to upgrade my video card what are my options? I have tried multiple sites looking for my answer and keep coming up empty.
Many Thanks,
Dreamsend

If you want to play a safe way. GTX580M is your choice. If you expect a GPU performance boost, then I do not have any recommendation, but you should refer to this thread first before buying a new card.
