GPU Performance Experimental Feature won't detect GeForce 660 card

I'm running an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 with the latest driver pack (just installed today) and Illustrator is telling me that "compatible GPU not found."  This card is listed in the required cards list (GPU Performance) and I've been thru all the troubleshooting procedures to no avail.  Any clue as to why Illustrator refuses to see my card??
Additional specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel Xeon E5-1620
32GB RAM
Any other info needed?  Please help!
Thanks!

Here's even more crazy... I'd say most of us in the Graphics/video industry use multiple monitors, and at a guess I'd say a lot of use have multipleGPUs to boost performance... but:
Monitor
GPU
1
Monitor
2
Monitors
3 or more
Monitors
1 GPU
Enabled
Enabled
Disabled
2 GPUs
Enabled
Disabled
Disabled
3 or more GPUs
Enabled
Disabled
Disabled
I have a 21" LCD as my main monitor and a Wacom Cintiq 24HD running off two GTX580s... in order to get better performance from Illustrator, I must remove one of my GPUs... What the eff!?
I tried sli, non-sli and non-sli with monitor in each card... I guess it's a no-go.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 card reader won't detect some SDHC cards

    Notebook Hp Pavilion dv6-6104so
    Windows 7 - 64 bits
    The notebook's card reader won't detect some of our SDHC cards. We have updated the driver to the latest version, Realtek PCIE 6.1.7601.90, and the BIOS, but it still won't recognize some of our cards.
    We have six SDHC cards, three SanDisk (4, 32 and 32 GB), two Kingston (8 and 8 GB) and one Integral (4 GB). The card reader recognizes four of them (4 and 32 GB SanDisk cards and one of the two Kingston cards). What is strange and that you may have already noticed is that the card reader recognizes only one of two cards with the same brand and capacity!
    About the two cards that don't get recognized in our notebook, they work properly in their corresponding cameras and are detected without problems by another HP Pavilion dv6-3138so notebook card reader, as well as by two netbooks of ours from two different brands.
    When we connect the cameras (one Canon and one Sony, both point-and-shoot) to the computer via a USB 2.0 cable, the laptop detects the cameras and through them we can access the cards.
    We purchased the laptop less than two weeks ago in Helsinki, Finland.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hey Everyone,
    Using a high capacity card in a standard card reader slot will cause this issue. Im going to guess that the cards you ar having issues with are the SDHC cards and not the standard SD cards. As Naoto stated, by using a camera as a card reader you an workaround this. You can also look into SDHC card reader adapters. Here is a good article on the SDHC cards: http://goo.gl/lj5Fq
    Hope this helps!

  • IMac won't detect airport extreme card

    i just bought an airport extreme card for my 1.25 GHz G4 iMac. i have installed the card in my computer, but for some reason my computer hasn't detected the card.
    i read some suggestions in other discussions, and have tried almost everything. i have reset my PRAM and run the apple hardware test. the card still has not been detected. i have also installed the latest software update for airport. still nothing. someone also suggested resetting the PMU, but i read up on that and don't see how that would help with an airport extreme card.
    i'm wondering if maybe i didn't do a good job of installing the card. it seems easy enough, but after i inserted the card and attached the antennae, the card felt sort of loose in the slot. i don't know if it's supposed to be a tight fit or not. i pushed the card in until it go any father, but i didn't want to push it too hard for fear of breaking something.
    any suggestions?
    thanks.

    i figured it out. my card wasn't pushed in all the way. DOH!

  • IMac won't detect SD card

    My iMac won't detect any SD card's. It doesn't seem to matter the size (2GB-16GB) or brand, it is just like I haven't inserted one. I have never used one with it before so it isn't from failing to "safetly remove hardware" and I have tried cleaning the slot (with air can)

    Have you checked to see if the SD card reader is listed in system profiler? (apple menu, about this mac, more info button) it should be  listed under Hardware, under USB, it would be labeled some thing like "Internal Memory Card Reader".
    If the card reader isn't listed:
    Have you tried a NVRAM Reset?
    Have you tried a SMC Reset?
    If the card reader is listed, but your not seeing the inserted cards:
    Have you checked to see if the cards are reconised in Disk Utility? (go to the dock, click on finder, go to the menu bar, click on the go menu, chose Utilties, double click on disk utility) Do you see the sd card listed?

  • GTX 750 Ti in Illsutrator - GPU Performance feature - Compatible GPU not found

    Hi,
    I recently bought a GeForce GTX 750 Ti and was really happy that I could turn on the new "GPU performance" - it really made a difference.
    Today I had to reinstall Illustrator (the OS was slow) and now I can't turn on the "GPU performance" feature. It says that "Compatible GPU not found. GPU Performance is disabled"  and "Device: Multiple Graphics Cards detected"
    I'm using the latest GeForce driver. I know that the GTX 750 Ti is officially not supported (Seriously!? -  this is also really annoying since older, less powerful cards are on the supported list).
    I don't want to buy an other card, but if there is no other option...
    Any suggestions?

    I have just completed running the entire PPBM8 script with the GTX 750 Ti, and compared it to the results that I had obtained over two weeks ago with the older GTX 560 card.
    GTX 750 Ti on CC 2014.8.2 (1TB Samsung F3 as project disk):
    GTX 560 on CC 2014.8.1 (1TB Western Digital Black WD1002FAEX as project drive):
    It appears that the first-generation Maxwell (GM107) GPU somehow improved the H.264 rendering/encoding performance compared to the older Fermi (GF114) GPU. The MPEG-2 rendering/encoding performance is practically equal with both of these particular GPUs.
    Verdict? The GTX 750 Ti is the right choice for a PC that's equipped (however less than ideally) with a higher-end i5 without hyperthreading or a quad-core i7 that cannot be overclocked much if at all (and this is assuming that that PC has a sufficiently fast disk subsystem).
    By the way, the GT 740 that was suggested for the OP's system (given the "Green" drives) is not a Maxwell-generation GPU at all - but a Kepler-generation GPU (in this case, based on the GK107) instead. The GT 730 with GDDR5 memory that I recommended as an alternative to the GT 740 DDR3 is based on the GK208 GPU. (And I do not recommend most GT 730s on the market as they are based on an old Fermi-generation GPU - the GF108 that debuted with the GT 430 back in 2010.)

      Upgrading the Linksys Router's Firmware   Question  How do I upgrade the Linksys Router’s firmware?
      Answer  The new firmware adds numerous functions to the router. To setup a Linksys router with a DSL connection you need to perform four steps:
    1. Downloading the Firmware
    2. Upgrading the Router’s Firmware
    3. Completing the Firmware Upgrade
    4. Completing the Firmware Upgrade Process
    Downloading the Firmware
    Step 1:
    Before downloading the firmware, make sure your computer has an active Internet connection. If your computer is plugged directly into the router and cannot get online, disconnect your router and plug your computer directly into your cable or DSL modem.
    Step 2:
    To go to the Linksys download page, click here and verify the model and version number of your Linksys product. For instructions, click the link How to find Model number.  
    Step 3:
    After obtaining the model number of the Linksys router, enter the model number in the Enter Model Number field, then click GO. 
    Step 4:
    Look for Locate Version Number and select the version of the Linksys product from the drop-down menu.
    NOTE: In this example, we used WRT54G v.6. The Image may vary depending on the model number of the Linksys product.
    Step 5:
    After selecting the version, scroll down and look for Downloads For The WRT54G then click Firmware to get the latest firmware.
    Step 6:
    If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Internet Explorer, you may see a “Pop-up blocked” message in your browser Information Bar.  Click the bar and select Temporarily Allow Pop-ups and click Firmware again.
    Step 7:
    Click Save in the File Download dialog box that appears. Look for the  Save As dialog box, choose a location for the file like the Desktop and click Save. When the download is complete, click Close, if prompted.
    NOTE: The name of the file may vary depending on the firmware file of your router. 
    Step 8:
    If the firmware file you have downloaded is on a zip format, double-click on the zip file and extract its contents to a single folder or to the Desktop. 
    NOTE: You will need to use a utility to open and extract files from the ZIP file archive. Popular software to use is WinZip®. To download WinZip®, visit http://www.winzip.com. You can also use the built-in unzipping features of Windows XP to unzip the contents from the archive.
    Upgrading the Router’s Firmware

  • I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

    I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?  Please??? :-)

    Hi Kelly,
    As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
    Start with the section titled Check the network.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,
    Brett L 

  • WMP10 won't detect

    I want to rip a cd on to my computer but it's not being detected as an audio cd. I think it's because it has some extra features on it (video stuff). Can anyone help me? How can I get this bugger to rip if it won't detect it's
    The cd is Radiohead's 'Hail to The Thief,' by the way,

    Unfortunately, most stores in the US won't accept returns of opened CDs. However, US CDs with copy protection usually are clearly labeled as such. Nonetheless, this is a good reason to get legal purchased downloads instead of physical CDs; the DRM on nearly all purchased downloads allows at least some burns to CD, and so far the download services aren't copy-protecting those. (The labels want to change that in the long run, but they can't do that as long as the iPod-iTunes compatibility issue exists.)

  • My iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.2

    my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4

    If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
    To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
    1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
    2) swipe to power off
    3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
    4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
    If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
    If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers.

  • New Notebook Graphic Specs for Illustrator GPU Performance

    I'm looking at purchasing a notebook for use with Adobe Illustrator.  Looking at the specifications, only certain NVIDIA video adapters are listed supporting the new Windows GPU Performance.  The notebooks I'm looking at have the NVidia Optimus K1100M 2GB video adapter and the NVidia Optimus 1GB adapter.  I take this to mean the Optimus series won't make the cut with GPU performance for Illustrator, correct?  Here the spec link: System requirements | Illustrator

    I was curious about your experience with CS5 Master Collection, since I purchased the CS4 Master Collection more than a year ago.
    I had previously bought the CS3 Master Collection and upgraded.  The original CS3 collection was reasonable to work with because there was a  Disc for each different program.  If you needed to reload a program you could figure it out.  When I upgraded to CS4 which was a decent price, I figured what I would get would be comprehensible in the sense that CS3 was.  What I received was (I believe 5 discs...I don't have them with me) labeled Content
    and Applications.  It wasn't long, because of the general 64-bit confusion, that one of the programs (Acrobat Pro) became corrupted.  I wasn't sure which disc or discs to load.  There are absolutely no instructions or anywhere you can go to find them.  Adobe provides nothing for Master Collection
    owners, or rather up-graders...try sending an email...good luck.  Try calling...to find out how to load a program?  By the way when I try to load one of the Content discs, I get a message that says my laptop, with all the bells and whistles, and which originally accepted the Master Collection, cannot load the software, whatever that means.  I wrote several emails to Adobe asking for help, I'll even pay for it...no answer.  I also subscribe to the Professional Photographers podcast and Adobe is frequently mentioned as having terrible customer service and having over-priced software.  I'm seriously thinking of alternatives, but everyone uses Photoshop, which you're probably better off buying by itself.  Or, you could wait for another frustrated customer to post his/her complaint to the Adobe Forums.  I don't think the Adobe administrators will let this be posted, but please, be forewarned about the terrible customer service.

  • Need Urgent Help! iPhone 3Gs won't detect SIM after update to ios 6.1.3

    So yesterday me and my sister's phone was working fine. I decided to update both of them, and when I updated, everything was reset to factory settings. Everything is running smoothly, but our phones won't detect the SIM. Either it says "No Service" or "Invalid SIM" when I turn on Airplane Mode. Urgent, please help!

    I performed a backup / full reset / erase all / restore. When the phone rebooted, it appeared to be a clean, new iPhone (unnamed, no apps, no wallpaper, etc). I restored my backup and the notification is still there. I tried doing a hard reboot (home+off buttons), still there.  I will attempt one more reset / erase / restore.

    Thanks for writing. Please don't mind if I pick apart your statements.
    "For an extra $200 the 5870 is a no brainer." I agree on a pure cost basis that it's not a hard decision. But I have a very quiet environment, and I understand this card can make a lot of noise. To pay money, end up with a louder machine, and on top of that realize no significant benefit would be a minor disaster.
    So, the more interesting question is: has anyone actually used the 5870 and can compare it to previous cards? A 16-bit 60 megapixel image won't require even .5GB of VRAM if fully tiled into it, for example, so I have no ability, a priori, to prove to myself that it will matter. I guess I'm really hoping for real-world data. Perhaps you speak from this experience, Matthew? (I can't tell.)
    Background work and exporting are helpful, but not as critical for my primary daily use. I know the CPU is also used for demosaicing or at least some subset of the render pipeline, because I have two computers that demonstrate vastly different render-from-raw response times with the same graphics card. Indeed, it is this lag that would be the most valuable of all for me to reduce. I want to be able to flip through a large shoot and see each image at 100% as instantaneously as possible. On my 2.8 i7 that process takes about 1 second on average (when Aperture doesn't get confused and mysteriously stop rendering 100% images).

  • Z77A-GD65 not detecting Geforce GTX 970

    I recently tried upgrading the GPU on my Z77A-GD65 from the Geforce GTX 560 to the Geforce GTX 970 but my computer does not detect the new card in. I've tried about a dozen things to attempt getting it to work, flashing the BIOS using a couple different methods, resetting the CMOS using the battery, as far as formatting my computer but still nothing works. When I boot the computer the fans on the GPU will both spin until the login screen appears then they stop. I originally thought maybe the PSU wasn't good enough for it, but even with a new Corsair CX750M the problem still persists.
    When the 970 is plugged in the computer will default to the onboard graphics, and when I attempt to install the drivers for the 970 it tells me it can't find compatible graphics hardware. When the 560 is plugged in, it gets detected right away skipping past the onboard graphics, and allows me to install its drivers. The drivers for the 560 and the 970 are the same, 347.88, so I attempted to install them using the 560 then switching the cards out, which actually worked to detect the 970 once but I mistakenly removed the drivers thinking to reinstall them now that the card was being detected which made the problem come back. I'm not sure what to do at this point so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
