Graphics Cards (What will work? - Minimum to Run CS6)

Hi,
The community has been quite helpful so far, thanks!
I am looking purchase Premiere CS6 and will be running it on a machine with an AMD Phenom II 6 core processor with 8 gigs of ram. The video card is a 2 gig Radeon model, not on the supported list for graphics acceleration. Will it work at all, or do I need to have a new graphics card (I don't care about GPU acceleration)? The rest of my setup meets or exceeds minimum requirements.
Keep in mind that I am not doing much in the way of effects etc, just newsreel type shoots and interviews for my portfolio. CS6 is the only version available at my school at a discount and will be going to the cloud service in May, so I want to act now and secure a copy to use over the next couple years.
Thanks,
CM

Your system should work OK but you will be editing at half resolution instead of full resolution when using AVCHD. You might want to watch the video link. An i7 and inexpensive GT 640 would work good for editing native AVCHD but a GTX 650 Ti would be even better.
Both of those GPUs are a bit unbalanced with an i7 CPU, primarily due to their relatively low graphics memory bandwidth: 28.5 GB/s and 86.4 GB/s, respectively. However, there is a new version of the GTX 650 Ti that was just introduced: the GTX 650 Ti Boost (make sure that it specifically says "Boost" after the "GTX 650 Ti"). That GPU has the same 768 CUDA cores as the regular GTX 650 Ti, but with much greater memory bandwidth (144 GB/s versus 86.4 GB/s).
You are incorrect about the GTX 650 Ti. It can play back several layers of track matttes using native AVCHD at full resolution. The GTX 650 Ti GPU is infact bottlenecked by the CPU. The i7 will choke and be 100% after four layers of native AVCHD. The GPU of the GTX 650 Ti could easily play back 8 PIPs of native AVCHD provided the i7 CPU could decode that many layers but it cannot. Keep in mind the original poster of this thread is not going to be doing a lot of fancy effects. Having said that the GT 640 might be a better buy based on the users needs. I agree the GTX 650 Ti Boost would peform better than the standard GTX 650 Ti but the i7 would be the bottle neck not the GTX 650 Ti. I just wanted to correct the miss information.

  • A graphics card that will work with my 23' Apple Cinema Screen?

    Hello all,
    My graphics card currently is a Radeon 9700 pro for my g4 - its pretty much about to die on me. I was researching cards and I can't figure out which one performs as well as my radeon 9700 pro OEM apple card and has the 'ADC' connection needed for this large 23' monitor. In most photos of graphics cards in webstores i've seen, they do not have an 'ADC' connection. I need help finding one, anybody have suggestions as to what card I should get and where?
    I already tried the ti4600 and there were compatibility issues..

    Hi-
    Not quite the same performance level, but not a bad card, the Radeon 9000 Pro will support your ADC monitor. Also available here.
    You can replace the 9700 with another 9700.
    The NVidia GeForce 4 MX is another option.
    This page will allow you to cross reference the Apple part numbers with the appropriate card during your search.

  • What is the best ATI Radeon Card that will work in a mid 2012 12 core mac pro?

    What is the high model # ati Radeon Graphics card that will work with my new mid year Mac Pro 2012 .. 12 core, If I use 2 cards can I have up to 6 screens operating
    How much from Apple  is a 5870 card?   Can it be purchased for less somewhere else?   Can it be used in conjunction with the stock 5770 card?
    Thankyou
    Stuart

    One or two Apple-firmware 5770 cards can be used simultaneousy in a Mac Pro. It requires ONE Aux power cord for each card.
    ONE Apple-Firmware 5870 can be used in a Mac Pro, as it requires TWO Aux power cords, and that is all that are available.
    Please tell us more about what you are trying to accomplish, and you will get more help. Readers do not want to have to write a book-length answer to your overly-vague query.

  • Software problem? Installed graphics card does not meet minimum requirements

    Ok - I seem to have just met the same problem that others have experienced. MB Pro, less than 3 years old, graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB.  I have been using Aperture up until about 1/2 hour ago with no problem.  Just now trying to sync my iPad, and Aperture (which launches automatically) responds with "installed graphics card does not meet minimum requirements".  All software is fully up to date, running latest versions of all Apple software.  What is going on please?  I have restarted several times, tried Command/Option/P/R on restarting, but nothing seems to make it work.

    You might try to reboot again, this time with the Shift-key hold down to boot into safe mode. This will clear some caches and reset the graphics card. Aperture will not run in safe mode. You will have to reboot a second time.
    Do you use an external Monitor? Then disconnect it, before rebooting.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S: Do you use a blue tooth keyboard? If you turn it on while booting, you may accidentally boot into Safe mode without noticing it, and then Aperture will give exactly the above error message.

  • I am writing my first book--fiction no graphics.  What template works a best for this?

    I am writing  a fiction book, no graphics.  What template works best with this? Is ibooks author the best option?

    You can use iBooks Author and chose a Portrait template. Most templates have some images included.. if you  dont need them... simly delete then. The same applies to most Landscape templates. Apple created  them mostly for text predominent books, but include images  to make them look attractive and functional.  Any template can be changed to suit your needs.
    An alternative is Pages,   you can create your novel and export it as an ePub, which,   when the other  requirements  to upload books to the iBooks Store are  completed - will be  totally acceptable to Apple.
    There is also  Adobes inDesign, which is more expensive and   to  most.. more complicated to use.
    As its a text only novel, you can also use MS word to produce your manuscript - like wise pages... and  later iBooks Author  has the optionto import chapters from  both applications.  Its also possible to  do a simple copy and paste into iBoooks Author, chapter by  chapter or all at once. iBAs flowing  text pages will be created automatically to hold all your text.
    I suggest you decide which application to use, and then spend time, even more so if you settle on iBooks Author,   "playing" with the  menu's options  and functions BEFORE setting out on your project.

    I'm not aware of any, not to say that there aren't any issues.
    it may have nothing to do with ntpd, there are a lot of things running.
    ntpd just happen to make the log entry at the same time as the panic.
    I would check to see if there are any updates available for you system.
    if this is the first time that this has happened. it may be (pick one):
    cosmic rays
    sun spots
    the trilateral commission
    if this happens more frequently and that traces look the same, then
    there may be a real problem that needs to be looked into further.

  • I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card

    I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

    Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...
    G5 PCIe options are listed here:

    i dont have any credit card what will i do

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • Is there a graphics card that will be compatible in my HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook (model dv2419us)?

    ?Is there a graphics card that will be compatible in my HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook (model dv2419us)? - This notebook has Windows 7 Home Premium.
    - I was looking to take the free upgrade to WIndows 10 - I requested the reservation.
    - Initial response was to wait for downloads would be available.
    - Just got the message that it is not compatible with Windows 10 because it has an Nvidia Go GeForce 6150 graphics card.
    - I contacted Nvidia about a card that would be comaptible with WIndows 10.
    - Response was that couldn't recomment a replacement, and to contact HP.
    - Does anyone know if there is a graphics card replacement for the HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook that would make it compatible with Windows 10?
    ...Or is my only option to not upgrade to Windows 10 or buy a new laptop?

    Hi there ,  Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I understand that you are inquiring about a Graphics Card Replacement.  Unfortunately the Graphics Cards are not replaceable on the HP Pavilion dv2000 Notebook PC. They are attached directly to the motherboard. The only way to replace a Graphics Card  would be to replace the whole Motherboard.  Hope I answered your question.  Have a great day!

  • I need to upgrade my graphics card on my Mac Pro 3,1 2008. What will work in this computer?

    I have a 2008 3,1 Mac Pro computer running Mountain Lion. I do video editing and would like to upgrade to FCPX and Motion and Compressor. When I try to install them, I get a message that says I don't have the right graphics card. What card should I upgrade to in order to comply with the software?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks.....Gale

    The "easy way" is to upgrade to an Apple-firmware 5770 (or for 2008 and later, 5870). "It just works."
    There are a lot more options at the margins, but they may require developer-mentality. They can be quite a bit more complex, may drop features, may require flashing the card or typing terminal code to get them going.
