Graphic Card Decision?

I've got an early-mid 2008 8 core Mac Pro 2.8GHz / 6GB of memory.
It came with a Radion HD 2600 which isn't enough for FCP X, so a new one is needed. I do a lot of short HD projects.
So the questions arise:
Is this machine strong enough to do full HD editing for a while or two?
If so, what would be a minimal upgrade graphics card?
A higher performance graphics card that would be worth extra bucks?
A graphics card so good that it would knock my sock off?
A graphics card that would be right for today and some future Mac Pro?
If these questions are just plain wrong, what strategy for a future gear acquisition cycle seems appropriate?

Yes. It is plenty fast. Right now it may seem slow with FCP, but that's only because your 8 cores aren't used at all by FCP7. you have a little beast, it's only being held back by the software.
I'd go at least for the 5770. But the 5870 is well worth the money.
It's a beast, for what it costs. Still one of the fastest single processor cards on the market.
I just upgraded my 6 Core MacPro with a 5870 and it's awesome.
Don't worry about your CPU. It is fast. Even in the foreseeable future.

MacPro black Graphic Card Decision / Photoshop 6

Hi, we are a german post production company, i want to buy a few MAC Pros, but i have no idea which Graphic Card perfectly suits Adobe Photoshop CC or 6
It is possible to select 2 AMD FirePro D300, D500 or D700. We mostly do large size beauty pictures up to a few GB.
Which one is not supported by Photoshop or which one will work best?

doesn't display in normal mode but in safe mode it display accurate.
That is a common indicator of a failed graphics card.
Skip all the old refurbished and repaired antique cards. Replace with the Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250. Works in all models of Mac Pro. Drivers are in 10.6.5 and later.
has MUCH more display RAM. Supports OpenCL.

Graphics Card decision

Okay. I'm probably gonna get a new mac pro, but i need to know one thing first. I am trying to figure out graphics. I am an amature film editor, I use a lot of CGI annimation and FCP. I run my computer off of one display. I need to know: if I'm only useing one or two displays, does getting four nVidea GeForce 730 GTs give me any benifits, or should I just get the ATI Radion X1900?
Also, if i ever decide to get another display, would i the X1900 allow two displays to run?
Thanks
Macbook- Intel Core Duo-Lacie 1.16 TB Bigger Disk Extreme-30 GB Video iPod Mac OS X (10.4.9) Yes, I know Macbooks arn't good for video, but i didn't realise how bad the GMA 950 was.

If FCS is your thing then go with the ATi X1900 XT. some of the FCS components do make good use of the addtional GPU power of the card.
And yes, the X1900 can run two 30" displays if you need to.

Do I need upgraded graphics card for photography with 24" iMac ?

I'm very close to ordering a new 24" iMac. I'm a photographer, shoot RAW & process in Adobe Lightroom beta, and can't seem to find out if I would benefit from the upgraded video / graphics card option. If this just for gaming and video or would I see some benefit from having it for my photo applications? I'm also debating on the value of ordering the higher speed processor for the iMac. I know RAM is the most important thing but not sure if I'm wasting $$$ on the graphics card and speed upgrades. Hope one of the experts here can help me make the right decision. I'm currently using a 20" G5 iMac with 1.5 gigs of RAM with decent success.

Here is my personall philosophy on purchasing computers. Buy the best you can with in your budget. If your budget allows the cpu upgrade and the video card upgrade get it. Once you order, you won't be able to upgrade again and who knows what the future holds. It will also help to future proof your computer. If you only buy once every 3 or 4 years then getting the better cpu and graphics card will help tide you over near the end. Also, your computing habits my change in the future. You might decide you like doing video and then the 9600 gt card will indeed help. I just don't like limiting my future use by my buying decisions today.

Maybe it is this bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154969
The decisive effect is 'Improved window management' - if this effect is enabled kwin works normally.

Upgrade graphics card(s)?

Would there be a significant advantage to getting a more powerful graphics card? The current configuration is two NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT cards driving three monitors on a Mac Pro dual-core Intel desktop, 16GB RAM, running Photoshop CS4. I don't do 3-D but do process rather large multi-layer documents. I have gotten a message about Ps disabling GPU enhancements. I've seen some discussion of this issue here and there, but wasn't sure if this is so much of a performance hit and whether higher end graphics hardware would be worth the upgrade cost.
Thanks,
Zolt

Whether you want to spend money to get the OpenGL features is entirely up to you. It's a subjective decision only you can make for yourself.
You may want to browse some of the alreay existing threads on this subject to learn about the limitations, Photoshop's inability to use more than one card for OpenGL features, etc.
In addition, you should check the Adobe Knowledge Database for tech notes like these two:

Now I need a new Graphics card for CS4

Hi -
So I took the plunge and upgraded to CS4 - then discovered to my annoyance that Matrox aren't bothering ('corporate decision') to write drivers for their AVPE card to support WYSIWYG with CS4. Great, so a £200 card is now on the ebay pile and my 10 year (expensive) relationship with Matrox is over.
Now I'm faced with a problem, I've always had Matrox graphics cards in all my edit machines, the WYSIWYG plugins make things easy and they do work well- or did.
Please can anyone advise me if there's a card out there which will give me the ability to run two monitors as a desktop, and have a feature monitor showing my edit.(all VGA connected) With Production Premium CS4 I'd like 1GB of memory as I'm planning on editing some footage from a RED camera (or trying to) - with the Nvidia or ATI cards - is there software that allows you to set up which monotor does what - and does this plug in to Premiere After Effects Photoshop etc?
I have 2 PCIE slots, and don't mind I suppose having two graphics cards in the machine, will this work, if I insert a for example Nvidia GTX 260 alongside the AVPE will that work, letting the Matrox handle the desktop and the Nvidia the Feature monitor, or would I be better having two GTX 260's ??
I have asked the boffins at PNY if they think this'll work and they say - maybe, though the card will only support certain codecs.....really? they're getting back to me on what those might be.
My system is
Supermicro X7DWA N 16 gb ram
XP pro SP2
PSU 600watt
monitors are Benq - analogue all VGA
Adobe Production Premium CS4 with Cineform 4K
This is an area that is quite hard to research - none of the manufacturers websites answer the questions that come up and so I have to keep calling up tech support in various different countries, then wait while they go and find out.
I'm hopeful that someone out there has an answer - thanks for reading - any help appreciated

Hello Harm
Thanks for the reply, I was hoping you would, and also hoping that wouldn't be your reply.
I don't want to tie up my camera and have it on full time, just to get less quality than I was getting on the computer monitor as a feature monitor I was getting last week. The quality is really good, and I find it much easier to see for drawing masks etc and for colouring and grading - I guess die to having loads more pixels.
I can't accept that there isn't another solution and so I'm looking for one, even if I have to buy two GTX260's, I'd rather spend the £175 twice (or the extra £175) than have the camera in and out of it's box every time I want to edit and then the cables everywhere, I went tapeless to get away from that and sold a couple of cameras that I could have used.
I'd like to find out if having one nvidia 260 and my lovely obsolete matrox card will work, or if two 260s will give me the result I need, and so in the absence of any person who can tell me, I'll just have to give it a try, annoyingly, my mobo isn't SLI capabole, so I'll be wasting some of the potential of doing this, but may get the system to work again.
Can't express here how annoyed I am with Matrox, if they produced a card tomorrow which could shoot edit and composite award winning material which would keep clients happy from now to eternity for $1 - I wouldn't buy it.
I'll post the results as I go along.
My alternative is to go and buy a 6 foot monitor to use as a desktop.
Can't believe I'm the only person to have fallen foul of Matrox's failure to provide service.

Use of 2 graphic cards vs. one

I managed to get with my son at the office today and performed some limited testing to check out the new Premiere CC 2014 using a Sapphire Radeon HD 7950, Single and dual Nvidia K5000s in a MP5,1 and Dual D700s in a MP6,1. The results were interesting and revealing IMO.
All hardware was running latest 10.9.3.
The test goal was simply to Export a timeline (rendering implied here) on every graphic card combination.
Here's what hardware/software we had on hand
1) A MP5,1 - 12core 2.93 GHz, 64GB RAM, 480GB PCIe SSD for OS/Apps, 240GB RAID-0 2x 3G SSDs for Application's cache, single 7950 driving 30" ACD, 23" ACD and 60" TV.
2) A MP5,1 - 12core 2.93 GHz, 64GB RAM, 240GB PCIe SSD for OS/Apps, 240GB RAID-0 2x 3G SSDs for Application's cache, dual Nvidia K5000s in Slots 1 & 2 with Slot 2 driving a 27" Apple LCD.
3) A MP6,1 - 12core 2.7 GHz, 64GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, Dual D700s, 21:9 34" LG display, 23" ACD and 46" TV.
4) Adobe Premiere CC 2014
We tested the MP5,1 that had dual K5000s, using both and using just one... using CUDA and OpenCL.
We used the MP5,1 with 7950 to test just OpenCL (CUDA not available with 7950).
We used the MP6,1 with dual D700s using OpenCL.
We used MP5,1 with the K5000s using CPUs (Software) for exporting the timeline.
Times are Minutes:Seconds
MP5,1 Dual K5000s, CUDA: 4:16
MP5,1 Dual K5000s, OpenCL: 4:13
MP5,1 Single K5000, CUDA: 4:15
MP5,1 Single K5000, Software: 5:02
MP5,1 Single 7950, OpenCL: 7:06
MP6,1 Dual D700s, OpenCL: 3:31
a) On the face of it the MP6,1 using Dual D700s did well against the dual K5000s in the MP5,1 -- 3:31 vs. 4:16.
b) On the MP5,1 using Dual K5000s vs. Single K5000 was a wash. This surprised me and I wonder if there's a Preference configuration that needs to be explored/discovered. I presumed the Adobe software would be aware of there being two K5000s vs. one graphics card. I could not find anywhere in the Preference setting to indicate there were dual graphics cards and simply assumed Adobe software would know about it... so pressed on with the testing.
c) On the MP5,1 using CUDA or OpenCL was a wash. They had essentially the same times.
d) On the MP5,1 using CPUs for exporting took longer than using the graphic card.
e) Using the MP5,1 and 7950 was considerably slower than using the dual or single K5000. Using 7950 took 7:06 vs. K5000 took 4:13. Thus K5000 was around 1.75 faster.
f) Using the MP6,1 and dual D700s beat them all with a time of 3:31. Son & I were happy to see this result.
Thus we have for OpenCL
MP6,1 D700 at 3:31
MP5,1 K5000 at 4:13
MP5,1 7950 at 7:06
Son now has to decide on keeping a K5000 for one of his MP5,1s as it does run 1.75 times faster than the 7950.
Of course this was a very small limited set of tests, and more testing needs to be done.
BTW... Export times can be obtained from the Premiere NOTES so it's not necessary to keep an eye on the elapsed time for the exporting which goes poof when the export completes. The NOTES provides the "Encoding Time: 00:04:15" for example.
Do you have any advice or some insights on what further testing can be done with this hardware and Adobe software to expose the performance differences of these graphic cards. I have a limited time using these cards and will have to make decision what makes sense to keep and what to return.
I notice that today while the AMD Sapphire 7950's price sits at around $455, the Nvidia K5000 ranges from $1599 at OWC, $1799 at NewEgg, and to as much as $2499 at the online Apple Store.
Here's a graph of my results
Latest CUDA driver via System Prefs is installed.
I would have expected to see a difference between having 1x K5000 installed vs. having 2x K5000... but as I post above, there's no observed difference using CUDA or OpenCL. This tells me the 2nd K5000 is either not being seen or is ineffective for encoding the timeline. The System Profiler report clearly shows 2x K5000 discovered.
My decision of buying 2x K5000 vs. 1x K5000 vs. buying 1x Sapphire 7950 needs to be made within my 30 days return policy with OWC. Thus I'm anxious to make the most of this time by testing correctly.
If you or other have some other tests I should perform please post them here... thanks.
I had a chat with Adobe Tech Help concerning this 1x K5000 and 2x K5000 and was told that for encoding a timeline (exporting) the basic requirement for the graphics card is 1GB VRAM and not too much horsepower. This results in only 1 card being used and the 2nd one would be essentially doing nothing.
The time when 2x K5000s get used will be during project work being done and applying effects such as Color Grading and Warp stabilizing. In these cases the 2x K5000 would get heavy use and speed things along.
This then explains why my test showed identical encoding timeline times for 1x K5000 and 2x K5000s.
I will admit, my workflow moves along quite a bit faster using 1x K5000 and even better with 2x K5000s when compared to using the single Sapphire Radeon HD 7950.
I will be using the K5000s for rest of week and will compare this with what I know I can do using the 7950. Then make a decision what to keep and return.
BTW... when calling in for Tech Help the menu system mentioned that telephone help will soon be abandoned and users should use Chat and/or forums for help.... (sigh).

It is to bad that you could not test an nVidia GTX card, one good GTX 780 would put all those to shame.
Actually, he can. The GTX780 can run at a low enough power draw that 5,1 Mac Pro should be able to power it. And it can be modified by MacVidCards so that it shows the Apple boot screen and works properly at PCI-E v2.0 speeds. I'd recommend to the OP to check the MacRumors forums, and look for the user named "MacVidCards". Or find him on EBay. His side business is modifying PC-based video cards such that they boot and work properly in Mac Pros. You can buy a new GTX780 through NewEgg or AMZN, and have it sent directly to him. He'll take it, modify it appropriately, and mail it directly to you.
All of that said, it won't beat the 6,1. ;-)

Imac Graphics cards with Premiere Pro cs6

Hello
I just changed over to Premiere Pro cs6 from avid and fcp 7/x. I am already sure i made the right decision. I love the interface, i really love it! and cant wait to get stuck into it properly.
I just bought a brand new, all singing all dancing 27 inch imac full spec 32gb RAM with a NIVIDA Geforce GTX 680MX 2048mb card. However pro cs6 by default is using the “Mecuary playback engine sofware only” instead of the “Mecuary playback engine Acceleration [CUDA] and i cant change it. Does it cs6 not support this card and if so will it in the future?
Any help would be greatly apericated!
Kind regards
Philip

Hi Paul
You mention last week that you had the same problem as me with your new iMac and graphics card with cs6.
I was just onto Adobe and they told me that they could not assist.
Can you tell me who you death with?
I am really keen to get this card running!

Photosop CS4 graphics card question

Hello,
I am looking into buying a new IMAC and was wondering about whether or not the graphics card that comes with it supports the new CS4 features. Does anyone know if the-
ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO w/256MB card
-that comes with the IMAC supports all of the new features or would I need to upgrade?
The other card offered as an upgrade is the-
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS w/512MB GDDR3
I have not been able to find any specific information online
regarding whether or not these cards are supported.
The only information that I have found that was worth while said that the-
ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO w/256MB card
-works better with final cut pro, which is a concern for me since I also use FCP.
Any help would be appreciated.....Thanks!!!

I am a graphic artist and currently own a G4 desktop so it is time for a new machine. Knowing that the new creative suite will not work on my machine has motivated me to buy. My decision to choose the IMAC came about in many respects because of the 24 inch display. I'd rather have a larger display then have to use 2 monitors.
I have recently taken up video editing and also use final cut pro. I am aware that video work requires a more powerful machine in most cases. I do plan on upgrading the RAM to 4 gigs. In saying that, I do know that this may not substitute for a faster processor.
I have no experience with whether the IMAC can handle intensive video work so I appreciate those who have asked what it is I am using the machine for.
Buying the G5 desktop is a little out of my price range which is why I was considering the IMAC.
If anyone feels I am making a horrible mistake then by all means let me know.....
Also, thanks again for the links and all of the information.....

Aperture and Nvidia GT120 Graphics Card

I'm ready to order the Mac Pro 8 Core with Aperture installed. I have two questions.
1. when Aperture is preinstalled is a card copy of the manual shipped, and
2. will the GT120 graphics card work well with Aperture?
I will converting Canon 5DMKII raw files to 16 bit tiff.
Thanks in advance

Coming from a G5 and a MBP, I now have a 2.66 eight core with 12Gb of ram. I have the standard GT120 installed and am waiting for a GTX 285 which is on backorder with Apple.
FWIW the GT120 is fine with my Sony 24Mpx files. I presume you'll import the raws and export as 16bit Tiffs, not work with 16bit tiffs?.
Aperture relies on GPU and I stayed away from the ATI due to the 512Mb of on board ram rather than the 1Gb of the GTX 285. I won't know if my decision was justified until the 5th Jan 2010 when I should finally be able to drop the last piece of hardware into my system.
In the meantime, aperture is fully usable and very speedy compared to my G5 and even the MBP.

Please Help with Graphics Card "Bait & Switch"

I ordered a laptop for using as a field monitor and DVR with OnLocation (DV Rack) with the Quadro FX 2500M graphics card. At the last moment the builder says the Quadro is not available (or he can't afford it) and can only offer the NVidia 7950GTX or dual 7950 GTX SLI. Can anyone please help me decide whether or not to accept either one of these alternatives?
Need to make quick decision to accept or cancel so any help much appreciated.

Workstation cards are not really any help to the NLE user. Neither is SLI. I'd say you'll be fine with a single 7950, if you trust the guy enough to buy from him.

ASUS EAH5450 silent graphics card to my Pavilion m7210 desktop but get no audio via HDMI output.

I have installed an ASUS EAH5450 silent graphics card to my Pavilion m7210 desktop but get no audio via HDMI output.I have 2 high Definition Audio Controllers in Device Manager, One has an exclamation mark with message
" This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
You need to restart your computer before the changes you made to this device will take effect."
What do i need to do to get this to work ?
Thanks

The other HD Audio device is likely to be the Realtek ALC880 8-channel High Definition onboard sound. This is a bit of a decision point. If you plan on always using the AMD High definition Audio as your default ouput through an HD TV with HDMI out, then you can disable the Realtek HD audio device. Once that is done then restart the PC. Go to the Control panel and select sound, now sellect the AMD HDMI out and right-click and select it as the default. There should now be a green checkmark next to it. Now you can select Configure to test it.
Kind regards,
erico

Upgrading graphics card for gaming

Hi i've been gaming on my pc for a long time now and while it's been fun games have begun to upgrade and my fps has dropped down. I play world of warcraft and i run the lowest resolution 800x600 and the lowest graphics and i get like 20 fps so i want to upgrade my graphics card now, which means i will probably need to upgrade power supply i want it like under 100 USD i've been looking at the r7 240 graphics card but idk if it is compatible. If anyone could give me tips on if that card fits my case or if there is a better graphics card for around the same price would be great. Also which power supply would be needed for the card.

Thank you for asking here first. You made a good decision.
What BIOS does your system have? If it's version 7, then your stuck with only access to legacy BIOS cards, not the newest UEFI BIOS cards that requires verision 8. Second, I'll let you input your system specs, and play around inputting various options at this gamer site. Look for the "Can I Run It" tab near the top. Registration is free. You can input various cards and see the performance levels.
Do not ignore this warning. Call the card maker and ask is that EXACT model card legacy or UEFI. The MSI GTX 750 cards do have a slider switch for legacy/UEFI. See this video. Take the time to make the calls. I am not promoting ANY card to you, especially because your suggesting a low budget. At minimum the recommended specs cost $300 plus.
