Graphics cards to Creative Suite 5

Which of these graphics cards will be the best to Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium

I am not fammiliar with most of these. I can offer a comparison that might help, I am running the nVidia 4800 which handles everything I have thrown at it without a hiccup. This includes of course CS5 Master Collection, but also 3ds max, Mudbox (very resource intensive), Motionbuilder and Vue 8.
You might want to compare 4800 specs versus your primary choices and see what comes closest.
The specs for it are:

Will Macbook Pro Late 2013 discrete graphics improve Adobe Creative Suite performance?

I am getting ready to buy a new Macbook Pro and I am wondering if I should get the one with discrete graphics or just the integrated graphics. I want this computer to last a while and be a beast in photoshop and illustrator, possibly after effects etc. Games are a second thought, this is a Mac after all. I am not buying it for that.

1) They are almost the same in terms of power but the Haswell (newer) one is more power efficient.
2) I would say no real difference but it would depend on the complexity of the videos you are editing.
3) As long as you can put up with the 1 row return key then no there will be no difference, you can even remap the keyboard if you need to (the 3/£ key etc.).
4) Another difference is the SSD used. The new model uses PCI-e based flash storage which the older model does not have, I think the speed difference is very significant and is something especially you would probably notice working with video files. The GPU and processor speed are insignificant in your case however in my opinion the additional battery life and faster SSD justifies purchasing the newer model.
Good luck with your purchase, this is a great opportunity. The price difference really annoys me. I am looking at a Mac Pro which is ~$6799 in the US and over $10k here. I am considering flying there and doing nothing else than purchasing the machine. The iDevices and notebook price difference is one thing but that is a complete joke, lol.

Graphics card for Adobe creative suite

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a desktop for our creative designer. We are using adobe creative suite 6. But with the current system its always crashing. Which graphics card is suitable for this? My planned system configuration is as follows.
Intel i5 4570, 8GB RAM, 1TB Hard Disk, 2GB Dedicated Graphics, Windows 8.1
Graphics card is geforce gt 740
GeForce GT 740 | Specifications | GeForce
Will this be fine?
Kindly advice.

Try and budget 16GB of ram. With only 8GB that is about as big a video card as that system will handle and really use.

Graphics Card and Performance in CS Suite

Hi,
Do graphics card affect performance across the CS3 Adobe Creative Suite?
One of the Macs I currently use is a Powermac Dual Core 2.3 with GE Force 6600 256mb.
I will shortly be investing in a new Mac Pro for a new city studio opening next month. I see these have ATI 256mb cards as standard with upgradable options.
I have read complaints on many forums talking about the new Mac Pro that it is fitted with a bog standard cheap graphics card. Is this right?
Does graphics card affect performance in apps such as for example, In design. Say I have a 36 page A4 brochure open and I'm scrolling through the pages. What would speed up the on-screen rendering, a faster processor or graphics card?
Or are fast graphics cards just meant for 3d work?
Cheers
S

The power of high end cards is mostly in 3D rendering. 2D performance is enhanced in cards with wider memory bandwidth but is often limited by CPU performance ( aka CPU bound ).

Creative Cloud background service constantly uses high-performance graphics card on MacBook Pro

On my MacBook Pro mid-2010, I recently noticed that the high-performance graphics card for some reason was constantly on. In MacBooks as of 2009, there are two graphics cards that can be used, one integrated, one PCIe. The integrated one is less powerful, but is used to preserve battery. The other one is enabled when there is a high demand for graphics power.
I saw that when the Creative Cloud service (with this I mean the general software package that tracks for updates and syncs fonts and files) was loaded into the system, the MacBook automatically starts using this high-performance graphics card, even without any other software running, just freshly from boot. This, of course, drains battery and I don't think that much power is needed to run a background service. The only way to stop the high-performance graphics card from kicking in, is by terminating the complete Creative Cloud service, which is of course not very useful when you use the sync feature a lot.
Is there a solution for this problem, or can you release an update of the software that addressess this issue?
If I need to provide you with logs or other relevant information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance, it's kind of annoying as it is now.

Same here. Macbook Retina 15", purchased earlier this year.
Nice (and free) utility to monitor GPU-usage is:
gfxCardStatus from http://gfx.io/
Helped me to notice that it's better to quit Photoshop if not using it because it still uses the nVidia GPU if Photoshop is not even the active application (eg. running in the background).
But still, sometimes after closing Photoshop, gfxCardStatus says that nVidia GPU is in use for process 'Creative Cloud'.
I'm mostly running on battery and nVidia GPU consumes much, much more battery than the integrated, Intel HD Graphics 4000 so this is a big issue for me.

IMac - what graphic card best suited for Aperture???

Hi, I'm considering buying the 24" iMac to use with Aperture 2.1.2, however it comes with the option
of two graphics cards:
ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO w/256MB GDDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS w/512MB GDDR3
I don't play any games, so what I want is the best card for use with Aperture (and I guess core image?).
From what I can see at barefeats.com its not necessarily the biggest card which is the best, since they are often optimized for games and not so much 2d graphics.
Right now I use Aperture on my 2.2Ghz MacBook Pro with 128Mb Nvidia card, and its not the fastest combo at all.
What is your opinion?
Best,
Peter

AFAIK the Barefeats commentary <http://barefeats.com/imp01.html> seems accurate and suggests that the 2600 card is best value.
If one is buying a new desktop box, iMacs are much more limiting to Aperture performance than Mac Pros, even a 2006 MP. So the only reason to consider an iMac is price. Once we acknowledge that the setup build is about accepting lesser Aperture performance to achieve lower price, the significance of the $150 extra for the 8800 card becomes more apparent. IMO if one is price-constrained to buying an iMac then the $150 that might have gone to an 8800 card is better spent on adding the necessary maximum RAM and FW800 external hard drive(s).

Is My 512Mb graphics card enough to run Premiere Pro on Creative Cloud?

My graphics card on My 2009 Macbook Pro is :
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
Will it be enough to allow me to run CC?

Even the cheapest current laptops would have far better performance with Adobe than that MBP. I would definitely start looking at a new solution.

IMAC's Top graphics card frustration - Cheap and no support for Adobe Mercury Playpack Engine GPU Acceleration?

If anyone has a solution for getting the Mecury Playpack Engine GPU acceleration to work with Premiere Pro CS6 on an iMAC 2011, please let me know. Like I wonder if you could Thunderbolt an External graphics card somehow? Or is an upgrade possible? Ahh...not worth the risk.
Please, if you have a solution for me, let me know. Otherwise I find it pretty frustrating that I purchased a top-end iMAC, fully maxed-out in every way possible, and that the iMac doesn't support Adobe Premiere's Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration. Also, an old USB 2.0 Hub and thus the built-in SD card reader is slow. If you have SD cards with 95MB/s Transfer, Read and Write speeds, the iMAC will only transfer at around 30MB/s if you're lucky. Technically 480Mbs which is around 50MB/s but I haven't seen those speeds.
I figured this could at least be circumvented with a Thunderbolt SD card reader or a Thunderbolt to USB 3.0 adapter but of course no such thing exists.
Well, nothing with a reasonable price tag. This all might seem trivial to some but when you're uploading 24 hours of HD video footage from a 128GB SDXC card, the speed makes a big difference.
And come on, no BluRay support? Ridiculous. I get the politics of why but still, just ridiculous. It would be nice to be able to burn a BluRay to watch in my home theater system. There are other methods but BluRay is convenient and great for backing up large Video Files. Unfortunately BluRay looks like it's not going to make it. Maybe cable distribution companies will increase their Internet upload speeds one day and I can just store everything in the cloud and watch full length movies(that I've created) on Vimeo.
Anyways, I went and took a look at the hardware Apple stuffed inside my fancy (3.4 Ghz i7, 16GB 1333 DDR3, 2GB AMD 6970M, 256 GB SSD Internal and 2TB 7200 Internal) machine and it appears to be pretty middle of the range stuff. It's an iMAC, not a Mac Pro so why am I griping? Because my 2009 PC(which I tricked out over the last two years) is faster and does support the Mercury Playback Engine. I spent $2100 total on this PC which includes all my upgrades. I spent around $3300 on the iMAC. I feel ripped off.
Yes, I do love my iMAC on multiple levels but had I known my dated 2009 PC would render video projects faster, I would have gone with a MAC Pro or just a new PC. It seems that Mac is moving completely away from making high-end computers for niche markets(video editing) and focusing on their tiny laptops, IPADS and IPhones for the masses. Obviously smart from a capitalistic perspective(at present at least) but very frustrating for some.
I was actually told to purchase a MAC for video editing. I've been a PC guy for 15 years. I went with the iMAC because I had read many good things about it(probably just Apple propaganda) and also the MAC PRO was to be discontinued. Also the MAC Pro would have been triple the cost for what didn't seem like a whole lot more.
It's one's thing to prepackage a computer with inferior hardware(the iMAC I have is fast for most things and more than enough for 99% of the population) but to not allow us to pop open the computer and make a quit upgrade to the machine is what really makes me feel like I'm using a computer built for Grannies. I mean there is a reason my mother loves iMacs and Iphones. Amazing that I was able to upgrade my memory from 4 to 16GB but I've heard Apple has even done away with that. I get why they do it. Apple Warranty, Apple Care issues, Profit and World Domination: Apple wants a monopoly on everything.
Was great to see Adobe bounce back after the whole Flash/HTML5 thing and knock Final Cut Pro off the face of the Earth for good. People are still buying it b/c of the brand name but Final Cut is done. David Fincher used Adobe's Workflow for everything when he made The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo. Hollywood is making the shift and the world will follow. The Adobe Workflow has finally come together and there is just no way Apple can compete with Adobe Creative Cloud and an Engine that can just swap from Premiere to After Effects to Prelude to SpeedGrade to Photoshop to Story with speed for $29 bucks a month(or $49 for some). Apple better start supporting Adobe's Mercury Engine or they may have a problem. And if you're using Final Cut X, you're severely handicapping yourself. Problem is that people don't want to take the time to learn Adobe's products(steep learning curve for sure) which is where Apple's Granny software, and perhaps computers, comes in to play. Arnold Schwarzenegger once said "Milk is for babies, Real Men Drink Beer". I'm beginning to think that "Mac's are for Grannies, Real Men Use Adobe and PCs".
The major problem with Apple is you're forced to use Apple. Not sure but history has proven that people don't like to be forced into anything. Autocracies don't work. These systems eventually topple, even in the corporate world.
Amazon.com, now that's the company to emulate. What an amazing machine!
I've read that Apple may even discontinue the iMAC after 2013. Who knows?

1) Graphcis Card - AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB (6990 would have been better or something from NVIDIA.
2) USB 2.0 Hub with only 480 Mb/sec
3) Seagate Baracude SATA I 7200 RPM drive with 3GB/s transfer rate and only a 32 GB Cach. It's ok. I would have expected at least a Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB or the Velociraptor at 10,000RPM.
4)APPLE SSD TS256C Flash Drive. As you can see, it doesn't stack up so well against other SSD Drive.
Just average. http://www.harddrivebenchmark.net/hdd_lookup.phphdd=APPLE+SSD+TS256C

Whining and ranting about how iMacs can't do this or iMacs/orMacs can't do that is not going to get you a lot of help here.
Your "I love my MAC" is typical of the ever ubiquitous PC whiner.
If your video work needs were that computer intensive and critical , you should've done some online research and you should have budgeted for a Mac Pro.
Mac Pros are completely expandable and upgradeable unlike the iMac.
Mac Pros have much more faster and more CPU cores than the iMac line.
iMac line is limited to CPUs with 8 cores. The Mac Pros, I believe, are up to 16 core CPUs, now.
The Mac Pros can have their GPU upgraded and you even add/expand to use specialty audio/video cards.
Mac Pros are the defacto standard for real video work.
iMacs, even the high end model, is not really designed to do really heavy and intensive video work.
iMacs do do video creation and editing. Just not on the level that is needed from a more "Pro" computer.
It seems to me you are asking your iMac to do more than it was originally designed for, in terms of professional video editing.
You get a lot more out of a Mac Pro than an iMac for any real serious video, CGI or animation work.
You just didn't want to spend that much cash on one.
iMacs are not user upgradeable or friendly to user upgrades at all!!!
If you purchased a Mac Pro, you could've had that better, faster HD, better faster SSDs.
That said, I can offer no real help to but because of the nature of your post and the fact you just simply annoyed me, I feel some advice and explanations are in order
First off, you picked Adobe video editing software suite as your video creation software on the Mac. It's no secret to long-time video content creators on the Mac that Adobe products, especially those for video creation and editing are very user unfriendly on the Mac. Even though Macs are supported from Adobe, Adobe for a long time has treated the Mac and Mac users as second class citizens.
Before purchasing and installing Adobe Premiere, did you even check Adobe's site for the preferred system hardware and software requirements? Hmmm?
This is why you should KNOW what software you are going to be running on a computer first then research what computer make and model will run said software.
That's why Apple has its own apps like Aoerture, Logic and Final Cut.
Despite your ignorance in this matter, Final Cut Pro X is alive and doing well, thank you, and using this software on your iMac would kick Adobe Premier in the you know whats.
Final Cut Pro X is a complete video solution for and completely designed around the Mac.
Why are you using USB 2.0 connections for video work when you have a perfectly good FireWire 800 connection.
In case you are not aware, FireWire 800 is called so because it has a max throughput of 800 Mbps.
Your 2011 iMac can take up to 32 GBs of RAM. Not just 16 GBs.
This changed when the 2010 model iMacs came out.
Blu-ray? I believe you can buy external Blu-ray writers that work with Mac using said FW800 connection.
So you cite one movie and one videographer using Adobe Premier for your premise that Final Cut is dead in Hollywood?
Your argument that Apple locks you into everything in their world can be countered by saying Windows and Windows PCs lock you into the Windows world. What's your point?
Apple is not discontinuing their computers platforms any time soon.
All you are regurgitating is rumor. Probably from all of the PC crowd.
iMacs and professional desktop Macs are not going anywhere.
Currently, Apple is the only desktop/laptop computer maker that is still making a profit on their Macs and increasing their market share percentages for the last 5 years during which the PC market has continually slumped/dropped in its market share.

Crazy Software issues seem to point to Adobe Creative Suite 5

Using Windows Vista Home Premium. INtel Core i7 CPU. 6 G RAM, 64 Bit operating system, Creative Suite 5
I started having trouble...weird things happening on my computer a year ago. Silverlight plug in crashes. Adobe Acrobat crashes. Firefox crashes. Word crashing repeatedly. Keyboard skipping every 3-4th letter or freezing. Mouse having a mind of its own, needing extra coaxing to go where I wanted it to go.
I have a custom built PC. I've taken in to the guys that built it to check for viruses. They found some but no big deal. They didn't fix my problems. The strangeness happens randomly so I limped a long for a few months and then get frustrated and try to solve the problem again.
I have replaced my keyboard/mouse combo and that slowed down the issues but they still persisted randomly. I have uninstalled all adobe products and reinstalled...no luck. Word crashed more than anything at that time so I uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Office. No improvement.
I have purchased a new graphics card...no help. When photoshop started doing weird things, like when I crop, changing the resolution of my document to 1, or no longer letting me re-size anything, freezing and crashing multiple times in a day, I took to the last resort.
I had the whole operating system uninstalled and reinstalled wiping my computer clean. The computer guys said this would fix my problems 100% certainty. As soon as I got it home, the keyboard was possessed again! I unplugged all hardware except monitor and (new) wireless mouse/keyboard and the only software installed was Office and Creative Suite. I still had problems. Firefox and Photoshop are freezing and crashing all the time. What else can I try????
My suspicion is that Adobe is just not playing nice with my system or any other application.
Please help.
Angela

My suspicion is that Adobe is just not playing nice with my system
Unlikely. Whatever you see are probably driver issues with your USB and keyboard controller or even possibly physical damage on the plugs or controller chip, including voltage issues due to a poor power supply or a fused resistor or capacitor on the motherboard.

Can I install Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection in my PC?

Hi, I'm Kendo from Bangkok,Thailand.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimated 64 bit
-CPU Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz
-RAM 4 GB
-Graphic Card Geforce 9500 GT
I'm afraid that Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effect won't smooth as expected because Adobe recommends 8 GB of RAM but I have only 4 GB.
Are the Premiere Pro and After Effect will run smoothly in my PC? or I must use Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection?
P.S. I don't want to upgrade RAM to 8 GB.

Download the CS6 Trial version from the Adobe website and see how it runs on your system.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=master_collection
It's free and fully functional for 30 days. After that you must purchase it or it will stop working.

Imac verses mac pro - for Adobe Creative suite

Reguesting input: Which is better for operating Adobe Creative Suite 6.0 on a professional level, imac or Mac pro?

The raw compute power of today's iMac is more that the reasonably-priced Mac Pro models. But that is not the complete story.
The Mac Pro has:
• replaceable graphics cards and additional PCIe slots
• Error-Correcting Code memory, large memory sizes are attainable and will not be a headache.
• Four internal drive bays as opposed to one internal laptop bay. (except, the Fusion drive option in the iMac is fast and large-capacity)
