GTX850 SLI + CUDA + 3 Monitor

Hello, I need to use 3 monitors and in order to do so I need two NVIDIA cards in SLI, could I use two GTX 580 in SLI by using CUDA for Premiere without having problems? I do know that Mercury requires only one GPU, but I need to find out if I can keep connected the two cards in SLI and use Premiere with MPE.
I am using a Matrox RT.X2, could this use any type of conflicts?
This is my (future) Workstation configuration:
-Mainboard: ASUS Rampage III Extreme
-Processor: i7 970
-RAM: 12Gb 1600
-Graphic: 2x GTX580 SLI (or ATI HD9670)
-Power: Enermax 1020
-Audio: Creative X-Fi Elite Pro
-Matrox RT.X2
-HDD: 3x 500Gb
Software: Win7 64bit - CS5 Premiere, After Effects
This is my current monitor configuration (photo):

You need not install the Matrox and it will save you from many headaches, driver issues and you can use the Matrox for what it was designed for, a fantastic door-stopper. I have used my old RT.X100 for that very purpose for years. Did the person on the Matrox forum mention whether he was on 5.03 or on 5.5.1?
You need not install the Sound Blaster card since you have on-board sound and it will avoid using their bloated software with all their inherent issues, keeping your system cleaner and meaner.
For a 3 or 4 monitor solution, all you need is two video cards that use the same driver, but not connected with SLI. The altenative is BM, but they also have their driver problems with CS5.5.
It is a pity you can't get your money back from Matrox and use that to upgrade memory to 24 GB and add a couple of disks to your setup. That would increase performance noticeably. With your two intended 580 cards and the 970, your PSU Enermax 1020 may be a bit weak in output. Check eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Pro v2.5  and get the Pro version, then set your CPU load to 100% and capacitor ageing to 30% and add 10 - 15% to the calculated wattage to be safe. Then carefully check the amperage on each rail, because in my experience Enermax may give a total wattage that seems enough, but not on the individual rails.

  • P6N SLI Platinum - multiple monitors and vid cards

    I want to run 4 monitors using 2 video cards. I've been doing this for several years now but this is my first
    upgrade to pci express. Right now I have a geforce 8800gts in the first -16 slot and a geforce 7300gs in the second slot. I finally got it working but I am wondering if the performance of the 8800gts will be reduced in this config. It took me several hours of  before I figured out that the switch card has to be in the SLI position to enable the second slot. (Wasnt trying to setup SLI so I naturally thought....)
    If I cant run the 8800 gts at full performance in this config is it possible to use a regular PCI video card as the second card?

    Thanks for the quick response
     So, both slots will be running at x8? Is that the only performance hit? I like to play fairly fast games sometimes(1 monitor) which is why I bought the 8800gts. The rest of the time I use the other monitors for monitoring the markets and general computing.

  • Z68A GD65 G3/i2600k - is SLI on 1 monitor, run 2nd monitor on IGD possible

    Typically I only use 2nd monitor for reference, chat, etc during a game.
    I cannot get 2xGTX 470 to run 1 and only the 1 monitor, and the IGD HD3000 to run monitor #2.
    Is that because we cannot do so, and virtu only allows for switching ?
    Small hit, if any, I thought I had read that old limitation of using either/or was gone with Z68... wishfull thinking ?
    ld

    Probably wishful thinking. Only two choices, PEG or IGD. Virtu switching won't work when in an SLI configuration if my Z68A-GD80(G3) is any example.

  • Bad video quality on primary screen in SLI set-up

    Hey all,
    I've got this specific problem with my video cards. The color is absolutely horrible when i use my two 460GTX Hawk in SLI mode on a dual screen setup.
    The strange thing is that this problem only is visible on the primary screen.
    Example primary screen :
    Example secondary screen :
    I've tried a lot of different things :
    * Switch monitors => problem persisted with primary
    * Switch primary to secondary => problem persisted with primary monitor
    * Different monitor settings (color depth, resolution, frequency, ...) => problem persisted
    * Turn SLI off => problem solved
    * Turn Dual monitor off => problem solved (also in SLI mode)
    It seems that when I want to have SLI and dual monitor this problem occurs.
    Some system specs :
    OS : Win 7 Home premium 64 bit SP1
    Nvidia driver : 301.42
    Vid card bios : 70.04.2E.00.04
    Motherboard : MSI P55A-GD65
    Motherboard bios : 1.6
    Not sure what additional information you require... 
    All tips are welcome ...
    Thanks in advance

  • K9N2 Platinum Sli and onboard

    quick question , don't know if this will work , could i hook up a second monitor to the onboard vga , so i can have sli and dual monitors? I have read that you can run both if you add the third vid , but would i be able to do it with the onboard as the 3rd?

    ok no one wants to have fun with this one?
    so far , 180.48 drivers support dual mon and sli , yet for some unknown reason , i can't get both 2 work after a reboot. I can get a 22 lcd and a 19 lcd both on dvi (digital) to work in sli after changing and detecting and screwing around for about 30 minutes , and it works great BUT soon as i reboot , the second monitor goes away and thats the end of it . i have tried it with just the 2 9800gt's and also with the 9800gt's and the igpu .kinda screwey but hey , light fun for a saturday. no crashes or anything and gives me something to do while i fix the neighbor's pc. now i can get dual and sli to work , after reboot , if and only if , my second monitor uses the dvi-vga adapter and then it works fine. strange i say . works for me , cause the plan for the 2nd one is to just shpw temps and other monitoring apps while i game , plus the random page or 2 off the net. doesnt need to show pure digital bliss to do its job . I just find all of this rather odd , but hey , its nvidia for yah......
    any thoughts?

  • Help me spend $5,000

    I posted an earlier message with some specific questions about how to configure my new Mac Pro, I thought this approach may work better.
    I have $5,000 to spend (less would be better, but I could go a bit higher) on my new Mac Pro. I have a monitor and all other peripherals so I only need the computer.
    I will use the computer mostly for editing and converting 1080p hi-def videos in imovie-09 and Final Cut Express, and for working with RAW file photos in Lightroom.
    Given my budget how would you configure a Mac Pro to get the best speed for my situation?
    Thanks for any and all advice.
    Ken

    Most of the times when people want 4 cheap low end cards like that, they mistakenly assume it is like having 4 cores instead of 1; CrossFire (SLI + CUDA + PhysX + GPGPU for Nvidia). Or that OpenCL will magically.... oh well...
    Also, Apple warrants hard drives for one year, some "OEM" labeled drives and why I you should check when buying, but most SATA drives bought 3rd party will have 3 if not 5 yrs. And for a 1/3 the cost.
    And on the memory front, and a lot of people buy and recommend OWC, I read on MacRumors some thought prices were going up. However sales of Windows 7 and memory demand aren't expected to hit until 2010, Intel Lynnfield boards won't really have much impact for months. Speculation...
    But Apple vs OWC price for memory is as close as it gets.

    Most of us have been recommending against the Apple Pro RAID, and another reason I wouldn't list it, and would argue against, and point to AMUG reviews and better offerings UNLESS you want it under Apple Care and support AND you have no need to install Windows natively (or other OS) (you can't).

  • Premiere Elements 12 crashing in Windows 7

    After starting Premiere Elements 12, it crashes randomly. No error code, no BSOD. Just a message from Windows saying that the program has stopped working. The program says it is up to date, and I've updated everything from Windows to Java to Flash and all my drivers. This happens every few minutes, and there doesn't seem to be any specific action that causes it.

    Thanks for the follow up with the good and not so good news about the computer monitors involvement in your Premiere Elements 12 Windows issue.
    Did you find that either of the monitors could be used by itself, but just not the two together in the dual monitor set up?
    If either one, then I would suspect that you need to find out if your video card will support dual monitor set up. And, then there is the question, "Did you have SLI in affect with the single monitor set up?"
    The answer may not be in single monitor vs dual monitor but rather in your video card support and/or setup.
    Taking Premiere Elements 12 out of the equation, it might be interesting to learn what NVIDIA Support Group has to say about
    2x NVidia GTS 450 in SLI  using dual monitors.
    We will  be looking forward to your results.
    Thanks again for looking into the troubleshooting suggestions made.

    Similar symptom, different components, but similar solution.  I jumped the gun and reinstalled the OS, and video drivers, etc...  I suspected it was a driver issue, but only after I formated and started over.  With only one BFG GTX 275oc in, it never happened, but with the 2nd one in, and SLI enabled, the monitor would go black at random times, though the computer was still running, and I could tell it to shut down without having to pull the plug.

  • Question about CUDA and SLI

    So, I know that SLI makes no difference in Premiere, but my question is--does it have any detrimental effects? For instance, if I have two GTX580s SLIed on my system, will I still get the full CUDA benefit of one card in Premiere or will the SLI somehow reduce the effect?  Ideally, I'd like to have a system with both CUDA support and a 3 monitor setup.  AFAIK, with the Nvidia cards, the only way to get three monitors is to have two cards in SLI.

  • Two Cuda gpu's non sli in photoshop

    Ok I finally just build another computer. In building I found out my old 8800gt card was not the culprate of an earilier problem so it actually usable!  I currently have gts250 installed...I know I know it was sidegrade not neccisarly much of an upgrade.  It was in all honesty (a replacement)  Tha aside.   I currently run two monitors.  One 24 and another 22 or 23..forget.  Will I gain any edge in using both cards hooked up to both monitors?  ie does my cuda processing accelerate or does photoshop and premiere only see the one card.  I know SLI is a completely different beast.  Just wondering of the extra Cuda Processors are helping.  If not I would rather leave the outrageously loud and hot xfx 8800gt out of the equasion all together.  Please help and thank you!

    No, no and no. Premiere Pro CS5 will only use CUDA acceleration on certified cards which currently includes the GTX285 and Quadro 3800/4800/5800 only. That aside, asymmetric monitor configurations have the usual downside of preventing the card from playing out full acceleration in the first place since they require separate buffers and possibly separate timing, which effectively kills any optimizations. Running two cards does not change that, especially if they, too, are completely different models, introducing their own overead for keeping them synced and whatnot. so in the end, with your current setup it's a lose-lose proposition.

  • K9N2 SLI Platinum video won't initialize with monitor connected

    Hi,
    I've gone through the RMA process with my vendor and I am on my third motherboard right now and I am still having an issue (so, basically, nightmare scenario here  ). The first and second motherboard failures seemed slightly different but the failure seems to be the same for the second and third and it is making me think that another factor may be at play other than the motherboard. All of the failures have been with the integrated video (which is all I plan to use at the moment --I don't even own a PCI-E video card right now nor have any plans to get one in the near future).
    In the first motherboard, everything seemed to work (as far as I could tell --4 green diagnostic LED's and all that) but no video signal was produced. Testing with an antediluvian Virge DX based PCI card (some of you kiddies may be too young to remember such things) did show normal booting with that video card (as far as I allowed it to go) and I suspect, from the pattern of hard drive activity, that with the integrated video the boot process was also normal (I just couldn't see it because of no video signal being produced). But that is past and has been RMA'd.
    The replacement motherboard and the motherboard replacing the replacement motherboard, on the other hand, have seemed unable to initialize video whenever my monitor is connected but if the monitor is not connected, they work fine (but then video defaults to a 1028x768 mode and I cannot run my monitor at native resolution). Curiously enough, my second motherboard worked correctly twice before exhibiting the described behavior making me think, at the time, that I just got really unlucky and simply had had it fail shortly after testing it those two initial times.
    Not being able to initialize video while the monitor is plugged in means that if I try to start it while the monitor is attached, the motherboard will not even POST and that the diagnostic LED's will be stuck at the video initialization stage (three reds, and one green at group 4).
    Furthermore, if I start it with no monitor attached and plug the monitor in after I get 4 green LED's, it will start booting the OS (Windows XP) but the screen will go black when the Windows XP logo should be appearing. I can also leave it unplugged until it should be at the Windows XP logo stage (or plug it after the 4 green LED's and unplug it again before the video mode switch happens) and when I plug it back in I can see the Windows XP logo. However, as soon as it switches to the Windows XP desktop, I get a black screen.
    And again, if I leave the monitor unplugged until the Desktop should be showing up and I plug it in at that point (or go through the process of plugging and unplugging the monitor while avoiding having video mode switches happen with the monitor plugged in) I do get a Windows desktop at the 1024x768 resolution. Once in the desktop, as far as I can tell, I can do anything there that I normally would be able to do (so I mostly have a working system, as far as I can tell). I have even installed drivers, verified that the sound works, etc.. I will still do a repair install at some point because I am not doing this the "right way" and I probably needed to do it anyway (though I think it's using the right kernel and everything --showing 3 CPU's, etc.) but I am not looking for answers with that as my issue shows up before the system even goes through POST. Again, note that I cannot even take advantage of my monitor's native resolution with the current kludge.
    Curiously enough, if I try to switch to my native resolution of 1920x1200 it will do it but only by switching me to a virtual 1920x1200 desktop on a 1024x768 display (so there's no actual video mode switch involved and the desktop becomes bigger than what my monitor can show). It's as if part of the subsystem is reading the monitor and "knows" that it supports 1920x1200 but another part of the subsystem is just assuming some sort of 1024x768 default common lowest denominator for digital displays. I attribute this to the fact that video has been initialized with no monitor connected.
    I originally had a 350W Enermax power supply (which worked as long as the monitor was not plugged in) supplying 32A on the +3.3V rail, 32A on the +5V rail and 26A on the +12V rail but I replaced it with the power supply shown on my profile (which was probably totally unnecessary as I'm only using the integrated video --but hey, I now have a blue light coming from my power supply so that makes it all worth it  ). I suppose both power supplies could work badly with this motherboard model but it seems exceedingly unlikely that that would be the case (specially since everything works as long as there is no monitor plugged in during video mode switches).
    I currently am running it, on cardboard, with a single stick of RAM (on the slot next to the CPU) and nothing else connected to it except the power supply (including JPW3 & JPW4), the CPU, a hard disk with a working Windows XP install, a mouse on the mouse port and a keyboard on the keyboard port (specification as on my profile minus one RAM module). I did play with RAM timings at the request of tech support but I can't imagine how it could be a RAM problem when everything works as long as a monitor isn't plugged in during video mode switches.
    I did update the BIOS from 3.4 to 3.5. 3.5 did not seem to be available at the time of my previous motherboard and I knew it was a real long shot for this to be a BIOS issue that would be fixed with the 3.5 update (specially since the update mentions only CPU support stuff and nothing about video) but I am desperate. Yes, I have done the whole resetting the CMOS thing.
    I am even considering the possibility that there may be some weird incompatibility between the video on this board and my monitor (under the assumption that, quoting Holmes, once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth). I don't even know how that would work. Note that my monitor worked in my previous system with the digital input (my previous system is no longer available to me for testing --but I did get a chance to test it, after having problems with my first K9N2 SLI Platinum motherboard which I returned, and it worked). Note that my monitor works with the system in question (I simply cannot have it connected while there's a video mode switch under way). Note that the lack of a picture seems to be related to the motherboard as evidenced by it being stuck at the video initialization stage if I attempt to start it with the monitor connected.
    Any wild ideas? I do not want to return this motherboard a third time  and I specially do not want to return this motherboard a third time if it's something that can be easily fixed.

    Have you tried with just memory stick in 1st DIMM near to CPU socket and mainboard out of PC case?
    Yes, I currently am running it, on cardboard outside the case, with a single DIMM (on the slot next to the CPU) and nothing else connected to it except for the power supply (including JPW3 & JPW4), the CPU, a hard disk with a working Windows XP install, a mouse on the mouse port and a keyboard on the keyboard port (specification as on my profile minus one RAM module). And it works,... as long as the monitor is not ever connected while video mode switches occur (including power on). And this is exactly how the previous motherboard which I returned also behaved.
    Addendum: As an additional note, I have tried the other DIMM on the same socket by the CPU with the same results (everything works as long as there's no monitor connected during a video mode switch). I also managed to make a bootable Memtest86+ (is that what people use to test memory these days?) USB stick and I am running it right now. It has shown no errors right so far but it has only been running a few minutes. I do not really expect any memory errors to be at fault since they would have to be magical memory errors which only cause problems when there is a monitor connected while a video mode switch is happening but I'm desperate to try anything to find out what the issue is.

  • Slight glitches in Source/Canvas monitor with CUDA MPE only

    i7 3930k, Win 7 64-bit, EVGA GTX 570HD (2.5GB version).   Everything is working correctly and stable (overall) . My one gripe is that when I toggle between CUDA MPE and software MPE, the software MPE is actually smoother in many cases. The CUDA is obviously working, but I get almost a slight shimmer running up the video (not tearing) , nothing terrible but certainly annoying. Its always about half way up the video where the shimmer starts and goes up to the top and disappears. Skipping through the video one frame at a time reveals nothing, its not in the source video, this has to do with decoding or aliasing.
    It happens also at 100% pixel for pixel monitoring , I wanted to see if it was an aliasing issue, but the situation still occurs. Software MPE playback does not exhibit this glitch, so I've narrowed it down. The main question is are there NVIDIA settings in the control panel that may be not quite right? I've tried the defaults, and tweaked some of the settings, but there are a lot of options and I'm not sure which might effect the playback.
    Seems to happen the most with H.264 canon files and some ProRes stuff I've imported, but then again turning off the CUDA MPE makes the problem go away....
    Not a HDD or processor issue, those I've checked for certain.
    I am running the new 6.0.2, but it happened before as well.
    Already made sure the cores weren't parking, and they are all active....
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for any help !

    Hey I've been working on this with a few different systems as to try to figure out what is going on. First I am working on a Mac Mini 2011 i7 Quad with the crappy Intel 3000 low end 512MB graphics , and software MPE with the same H264 and ProRes files look flawless. Same with another PC Win7/64 HP Probook laptop I have, again with no GPU acceleration.
    Last week I picked up Adobe PP6 classroom in a book and may have stumbled upon something. Maybe not.
    Anyway on page 39, there is a paragraph on Maximum bit depth and Render quality settings, as specified in the sequence settings tab.
    "If you enable Maximum Render Quality or if you have GPU acceleration, Adobe Premiere Pro uses a more advanced system for scaling images smaller. Without this option, you may see artifacts or noise in the picture when making images smaller. Without GPU acceleration, this option will impact performance."
    Hmmmm... So I only see the "isssue" with the GPU enabled, and neither of those Maximum bit depth or Render quality options enabled on my projects. Yet without the GPU acceleration (MPE software only) and these options also not enabled, everything is fine (on my Mac Mini, my HP ProBook, and my PC where I am seeing the issue). This jives with my experience, so I am going to check those two options Monday when I get back to the office and see if that doesn't solve the issue. As if the preview monitors when GPU accelerated, almost default to a "draft" mode of rescaling/alising, this is perhaps what I am seeing. Blazing performance at the expense of a little image quality.
    The computer is so understressed during H.264 playback, I'm seeing like 8% CPU total resource usage, that I can surely afford to crank up the quality and not see any kind of dropped frames. In fact when I view the 1080p @ half resolution, I still see the slight shimmer. And this is off an OCZ Vertex 4 via SATA 6g where I'm reading 450MB/sec without breaking a sweat.

  • P7n, 2-card sli, 3rd card for 2nd monitor

    Anyone got 2-card SLI and a 3rd vid card for a 2nd monitor working?
    System: p7n, 4GB OCZ Vista gold PC-6400 RAM, Pentium D930 for testing, 2 MSI NX8800GTs, Vista x64 installed, SB Xfi that's included with the MB, one 500gb WD SATA hard drive and an IDE DVD.  I plan to move my RAID card over from my eVGA system in my sig if I can get this working...but I need more than 1 monitor.
    Nothing overclocked!!
    I can't get SLI to work with a 3rd video card.  I've tried an eVGA 8400GS...no SLI option in the nVidia ctrl panel, eVGA 8500, no boot, the fans spin for a fraction of a second, and the leds flash and that's it, and an ATi 1800xtx...errors in Vista about incompatible hardware.
    With the 8400GS, there's no longer any option for SLI in the nVidia control panel, which there was with only the 2 8800GTs on the previous boot. 
    I've got a 650W PS with dual PCI-E leads, and the system is currently pulling less than 300W, so this shouldn't be an issue.
    I've built hundreds of systems, but this is my first SLI system.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, the MB will occasionlly fail to boot with just the 2 8800gts, I just get the fan spin/led flash.  Bad motherboard?  The only way to get it to boot again is to pull one of the8800gts and restart, sometimes the bios needs to be reset.

    Got the solution I was looking for via the forums at nvidia.com from jaafaman 
    http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=60345&st=0&p=330530&
    The third card works best as an nVidia so it can use the same driver. Right now, I'm using two 8800GTS640s in SLI and a 6200OC as the third, with a 20" WS for the SLI and two 17" WS attached to the third card.
    And to date, Vista is the only OS where this is possible!
    Start by mounting the cards, installing the one single ForceWare driver and mounting your monitors as above. Make sure your monitors are working in non-SLI mode before setting SLI up.
    Open the Device Manager, and under Display Adapters you will see all three cards listed. Right-Click on the third card's entry and choose the "Disable" option. Close the Device Manager and reboot the system.
    Once Vista fires back up with the third card disabled, the option to run SLI will show up in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Enable SLI as you normally would, and regardless of whether or not you have to reboot to enter SLI, once SLI is enabled you must reboot at least one time so that Vista starts up with SLI active.
    Once SLI is enabled and Vista has been rebooted, you can open the Device Manager again and re-enable the third card.
    At that point, you can do whatever you need with the other monitor(s) as you normally would. You can't extend the SLI rendering to the extra screens, but you can still extend the Vista Desktop, etc. and run apps or child windows as you normally would.
    To get out of SLI, reverse the process. The key is in having the third card DISABLED while enabling or disabling SLI with a reboot.
    A poster named Fredrik finalized this process as an illustrated guide in the SLI Zone and it was "stickied" there for permanent display. Oddly enough, the Guide is labelled Guide: Run Multiple Monitors with SLI, Vista, 3 Nvidia Cards, 2 cards in SLI and one for up to 2 other monitors. As one of the original participants, the title of your own thread is what caught my eye. Thought maybe someone else had discovered this as well...
