Hardware Acceleration on Flash, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285

Has it been enabled on OS X? I tried to play an 1080p YouTube and the CPU still shows over 100%.
I tried the same on Windows thorugh Boot Camp, I got maximum 15% CPU usage.

I think anandtech reviewed Flash w/ GTX 285 - a year ago:

Flash playback is extremely CPU intensive. CUDA is something Nvidia knows, and OpenCL is in its 1.1 infancy and lagging on AMD and with Adobe.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 and 10.6.4

Hello, so I have a Mac Pro 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon and installed the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285. when I updated to 10.6.4 last night I started getting a lot of flickers and really weird graphical things on the screen and the computer would freeze. In my CUDA pane under system preferences it says that the update server is unavailable and that an update is required...
CUDA Driver Version: 3.0.14
GPU Driver Version: 1.6.16.11 (19.5.8f01)
I thought these were the latest and greatest... no? What should I do?

I assume you know what Nvidia's GPGPU and CUDA (as well as PhysX) are and about, and how Adobe and Nvidia have shown what can be done off-loading some of the work the processor use to have to do.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA - has been updated recently too. It is NOT just aimed at OpenCL.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda3_0downloads.html
Maybe there is some porting of CUDA to OpenCL going on though, depending how you read it. From Nvidia:
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a new cross-vendor standard for heterogeneous computing that runs on the CUDA architecture. Using OpenCL, developers will be able to harness the massive parallel computing power of NVIDIA GPU’s to create compelling computing applications.
As the OpenCL standard matures and is supported on processors from other vendors, NVIDIA will continue to provide the drivers, tools and training resources developers need to create GPU accelerated applications.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/cudaopenclnew.html
10.6.3 brought new APIs. OpenCL 1.1 was just now finalized.
And of course, a lot of people are able to turn to Flash 10.1 and use GPU if they GPU is from Nvidia.
One Mac Pro owner has both ATI 4870 for display purposes, the GTX 285, getting power from 450W PSU placed in lower optical drive bay, for handling rendering and GPGPU tasks.

Hi Wendell,
Sorry for the inconvenience. NVIDIA is currently working on drivers that support CUDA on Mavericks 10.9 with some of the older NVIDIA cards such as the GTX 285 and the Quadro 4800.
For others interested, the Quadro 4000, K5000 and GTX 680 ect... work with CUDA in 10.9.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 and Snow Leopard

Are the latest Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 drives included in Snow Leopard?
I ordered my 285 with my copy of Snow Leopard, and I plan to do a clean install of SL then install the 285. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to need to install the drivers that come with the card since I read those were not up to par.
Thanks,
--Jaime

I have the GTX 285 also in 10.6 and its great... Though I think that the drivers are gonna get better over time. On my MacBook Pro (June '07) it took them till Feb. '08 to make the drivers never crash and run decent. Then after that, i wasn't till 10.5.6 that it really started getting close to the FPS of when you run the same program or game in Windows XP or Vista (since their drivers get alot more love).
For intance I get better framerates in Second Life in Windows 7 on my Mac Pro than I do in Snow Leopard, and I can promise you it's the GPU drivers. Sometimes I wish Apple would hire an extra GPU coder or two.

Installed Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 card and am unable to open PSCS5.

After install with current drives for card PS will not open. I cannot get to preferences to chg. GTU which is checked to unchecked to see if this is the prob. Have ??? Nvidia - no help there as they refer back to Adobe. Checked Adobe Support but no help there that I could find. The Raedon card that I ordered with the MacPro worked fine but needed additional speed in rendering as I work on very lg files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know what additional info from me is needed. (All Master Suite apps open except PS and InDesign.) Thank you.

PS stopped at the very beginning of opening- no pref.,etc were read and the spinning ball continued until I force quit PS. After reading another discussion- "Photoshop Crashes" the response from c.pfaffenbichler held the key to getting PS to open. For now all is as it should be. I reset some of the pref. and have not run into any problems. I have not worked on the InDesign prob. but if cannot get it resolved will go to the correct forum for help. Thank you.

Compatibility MSI 945GCM478 with nvidia Gforce GTX 285

Hello everybody. I,m new and spanish (so excuse my english). I´d like to know if it´s possible to switch nvidia Geforce GTX 285 grafic board (or other double-slot wide) in the pci-e slot of MSI 945GCM478 motherboard. I´m not sure because the intel ICH7 area
Thanks

Looking at the heatsink, it's not much higher than the pci-e slot. If that is true, then I don't see why it wouldn't fit. BUT! You will only know for sure after trying.
If you find that it doesn't fit, you can always replace the chiset's heatsink for something like this: http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/product_page/chipset/hr05_sli/product_chitset_cooler_hr05_sli.html
And no, replacing a heatsink is not difficult to do.

NVidia GeForce 8800 GT *and* GeForce GTX 285 in a Mac Pro?

Hi,
my Mac Pro came with an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT, and I've now bought an extra GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition (for the Compute Level 1.3 double precision floating point capability in CUDA).
(Everything bought from the Mac Store)
I wasn't aware that I was expected to throw away the GeForce 8800 GT , what with the other three PCI-e slots being free.
The GTX 285 (max requirement: 204 W) requires two extra PCI-e power connectors. The 8800 GT (max: 110 W) uses one. There are only two available from the motherboard though.
So, *although I realize this isn't supported*, has anyone else managed to scrounge some current from somewhere else on the motherboard?
I'm only using one hard drive and one optical drive and no other PCI-e cards. Surely the power supply (around 1000 W ?) can supply the extra?
Does anyone know how much current the PCI-e extra power connectors are rated for?
Thanks,
colin

Search long enough and you may find...
According to this
http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#pciexpress
The PCI-e slot can supply up to 75 W, whilst a 6 pin cable can provide another 75 W.
So:
2 PCI-e slots + 2 auxiliary 6-pin connector = 300 W
"Even with only two 12 volt lines the standard implementation of PCI Express power cables use large enough gauge wire and a good enough connector to provide much more than the three amps per wire required to provide 75 watts. Nonetheless, the 6 pin PCI Express power cable officially provides only 75 watts. *In all likelihood, however, real implementations of this power cable can provide far more than 75 watts.* "
Hmmm

MSi GE70 Apache Pro w/ nVidia GeForce GTX 860M Graphics Issues

Hi there,
I recently purchased an MSi gaming notebook with nVidia GTX 860M graphics. However, just recently I've been having game-breaking issues with textures rendering, artifacts and particles as well as the drivers crashing now and again(desktop flashing and flickering).
I've only had this laptop for just over two months and am quite disappointed with issues coming up already.
To get to the specifics; I have recently been playing through the Mass Effect trilogy and, just the other day, started up a file in Skyrim. The following screenshots show my biggest issues aside from the obviously serious driver crashing issues. I believe the issues started maybe a month into owning this laptop and since it has been getting progressively worse. I feel as though I have been all over the internet trying to find a fix to this, I've tried everything suggested, everything that I could think of, and I am just about ready to have it sent back. I was hoping someone may have some other options before I do send it in.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d8koa8f8i1z9j3d/Photo%202014-09-30%2C%201%2040%2044%20AM.jpg?dl=0
On the title screen for Mass Effect 3 I get these consistent blue and red glowing orbs, they also occur on several other maps within gameplay.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a9c47w320u5xylb/Photo%202014-09-30%2C%201%2043%2016%20AM.jpg?dl=0
Once I get in-game, this occurs everywhere. Textures "expanding" off of characters into random points.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/v37un4vespalosx/Photo%202014-09-30%2C%201%2045%2036%20AM.jpg?dl=0
This happens occassionally on characters; ridiculously shadowed faces to the point where they are barely recognisable.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8cebgs4t10ghnh0/Photo%202014-09-30%2C%201%2046%2020%20AM.jpg?dl=0
On almost all wall textures there are white glowing particles like the ones behind the character here. In extreme cases, the wall becomes a texture of textures. All of the textures in the game are miniaturized into a wall of textures on certain objects.
I've also had signs and the game's menus and interface stretched and skewed all over the place. If I continue to play it with the above issues, the game eventually hangs and I have to alt+tab out and back in, or close it using the task manager. All of these issues also occur in Skyrim and any game using the same, or similar, engines. The only game I have been able to play almost seamlessly without any issues is Ragnarok Online 2, an online MMORPG.
I have tried the following:
nVidia's GeForce Control Panel: any and all combination of options.
Re-installing video drivers.
Re-installing DirectX and PhysX.
Formatting and a fresh install of Windows and all games and drivers.
Any other troubleshooting other forums have provided.
Removing the pagefile for virtual memory limits.
Using Intel HD graphics to test for other issues.
PC/nVidia power settings.
The one time I thought it may be fixed, all it took was me plugging in my laptop to cause the issues all over again. I've tried downloading MSi Afterburner to check GPU temperatures and I rarely even go over 65~70. I'm absolutely out of ideas. It was suggested to me by a family member that it may be a hardware issue, hence the consideration for sending it in.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit
nVidia GeForce GTX 860M
Intel Core i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz
12GB of RAM
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated. I would really rather not have to send it back. I've also posted this over at the nVidia forums because I'm -hoping- it's a software issue.
Thanks in advance!

To me it sounds like a hardware issue (especially if you have rolled back to factory default and reinstalled from scratch)
It wouldn't be a hardware issue since you can play other games without problem.
Easiest way to tell if it's a hardware issue or not is to run the benchmark tool for example 3DMark 11 and see if the problem also happens during the benchmark.
For the rendering problem you were talking, please provide not only the problem picture but also the picture without problem to let us make the comparison.
I'm sorry to say, but some of the picture I'm not really getting what the problem you're talking about.

Problem with Matrox Mini, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, Premiere 5.5.2 and After Effects CS5.5

Hello,
We have a couple video workstation PC's in our office.
Premiere and After Effects have been crashing lately with increasing frequency - about every two minutes now.
Here is the setup:
Hardware
Matrox Mini - Matrox Utility release 5.5.1
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 - Driver release 275.33
Intel Xeon X5660 2.8 GHz processors
24 GB Ram
Software
Adobe CS5.5, specifically...
After Effects 10.5.0.253
Premiere 5.5.2
Windows 7 64-bit
We have two 21" LCD monitors in dual display running from the computer, and the Matrox Mini outputs a preview signal to a 15" CRT.
The crashes occur when I have After Effects and Premiere open at the same time. I am editing in a Matrox 720p29.97 timeline in Premiere. I imported several compositions from AE into Premiere through Dynamic Link and am matching audio with the animations in comps. When I switch back to AE to make an edit in the comp, After Effects generates a crash warning and then gives me the opportunity to save the project under a new name. After saving, it closes down completely. The Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel in the system tray crashes during AE's crash, disabling the preview to the CRT from Premiere and AE. Since the Premiere sequence is a Matrox preset - in order to have output to the CRT - this freezes the timeline; the video and audio no longer play. When I save and then try to close Premiere, Premiere freezes and will not close without a force quit via the Task Manager.
In order to deal with this temporarily, I am editing in an AVCHD 720p30 sequence preset in Premiere, which doesn't send a preview feed to the CRT, obviously, since it's not a Matrox preset and the CRT is connected via the Matrox Mini. It's more than a minor inconvenience, since I use the CRT for color accuracy.
It is frustrating, since we did not have this problem until the recent CS5.5.2 update. We have tried changing drivers for the GTX 570 and changing the Matrox utility software to other versions, but no luck.
Is there a combination of GTX 570 drivers, Matrox software releases, and AE/Premiere settings that will make this work? I know there are "Known Issue" posts with Nvidia cards on Matrox's website, which include the GTX 570, but, again, this problem started with the Adobe CS5.5.2 update.
Any help here would be great, and I am willing to provide more information about the system and our crashes if it helps find a solution for the community, as I know this is not an isolated problem after reading Nvidia's, Matrox's, and Adobe's forums. I just can't find a hollistic solution on any of the individual manufacturer's forums.
Thank You.
Jordan

I've been running with Matrox for years, starting with the Axio LE. I do 75% broadcast work and find that the Matrox works very well with my kind of workflow. Monitoring is critical and since we have to deal with 3rd. party solutions, Matrox was my pick dating way back to 2006. Sure I've had frustrations with it, but I've made far more money off Matrox than frustration.
   Here's my nearly crash-free setup:
Gigabyte GZ-X58A-OC moboard
Intel 990X (only overclocking to 4.0)
24Gb of Kingston HyperX Ram
GTX580 Graphics Card
Matrox MXO2-LE w/Max
Crucial 240Gb Sata III drive (the one that has a nearly perfect score on Newegg's site)
2 x 2Tb WD Blacks Raid 0
2 x 1Tb WD Blacks Raid 0
Win 7 Ultimatte (it's a high-end version of Windows that's great for keying!)
CS5.5 Suite
Boris Red 5
Boris Continuum Complete 8
Trapcode Shine, Form, 3d Stroke, Starglow, and Particular
Optical Flares by Video CoPilot
   The reason I list all of that software, is that it all seems to get along together, including with Matrox! So, I can't say I highly endorse Matrox because I've never tried Black Magic or running an external monitor off of my video card.
    I use After Effects with all sorts of plug ins and rarely have crashes. If I put in a long day I'll have the usual crashes here and there (mainly with PremierePro), but nothing that has required evan a soft reboot of the computer.
   My frustration with Matrox is mainly the delay that often comes with Adobe coming out with a new release and Matrox taking 2 or 3 months to catch up, though when Adobe went from 5 to 5.5, there was no delay at all.
   I think that a lot of the people who trash Matrox probably haven't used a Matrox product in years. But before you listen to me, I must confess that I was an early adopter (and advocate) of SSDs and even today, many people on this forum think they're still a waste of money!
   I'll close by simply saying that I've not left Matrox after 5+ years, but keep in mind I haven't had the bad experiences that so many others seem to have had, but again, perhaps they had those bad experiences long ago.

Photoshop CS6 doesn't recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M GPU?

I just bought a brand new Alienware M17x R4 with Windows 8 Pro x64 and Photoshop CS6 won't recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M GPU?
I've already updated Windows 8, Photoshop and the Nvidia graphics driver.
Any ideas? I spent so much on a nice graphics card but now it seems PS CS6 can't even use it. It's using the Intel HD4000 instead:
I also tried this: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4545768#4545768
And deleted the settings but that didn't help.
According to this, my graphics card should work, it's a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M, which is a 600 series GPU: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html#tested_cards
Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6
Adobe tested the following video cards before the release of Photoshop CS6. This document lists the video card by series. The minimum amount of RAM supported on video cards for Photoshop CS6 is 256 MB. Photoshop 13.1 cannot display 3D features if you have less than 512 MB VRAM on your video card.
Important: This document is updated as newly released cards are tested. However, Adobe cannot test all cards in a timely manner. If a video card is not listed here, but was released after May 2012, you can assume that the card will work with Photoshop CS6.
Adobe tested laptop and desktop versions of the following cards. Be sure to download the latest driver for your specific model. (Laptop and desktop versions have slightly different names.)
nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 series
I've run out of ideas. Any suggestions?

Okay, I figured it out...duh.
My bad...or rather, Nvidia's bad!
In their app profiler, they set Photoshop to use the "default" settings, which defaults to the integrated graphics. By changing the profile to make it use the discreet graphics, it worked!
This also fixed my issue of the background flashing / flickering.
I know that's a known bug with Windows 8 + AMD (http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/image-background-transparent-or-flickers.html)
However, Adobe should look into this same bug occuring with the Intel HD4000 integrated GPU, because this happened with my laptop.
Maybe that bug doesn't occur on systems that only have an integrated GPU, but on systems with Optimus, it's definitely a reproducible issue.
When I switch back to integrated, the issue pops up again.
It's nice that Nvidia provides an option for us to either use the integrated or discreet graphics, however, Adobe needs to follow through and make sure that Photoshop doesn't wig out when we're using the integrated GPU. Sometimes, your customers need to do work on battery power, so the integrated flickering /flashing /transparent background bug definitely needs to be fixed.
Personally, I can get 6hrs out of this laptop running the integrated GPU, but when I use the discreet, that cuts it down to only 2hrs.

After effects and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB

I've installed the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB on a Mac Pro 3,2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon running OSX 10.9.4 but it seems AE doesn't take advantage of the new hardware and the CUDA technology. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB mounted before, went for the same rendering times. Am I missing any setting in the software or isn't the graphic card the perfect choice for fastening my rendering processes?
Ae obviously recognize the Nvidia and the CUDA settings should be ok....
Any Idea?
Andrea

AE only takes advantage of CUDA for ray traced features, which is being phased out. To get the most out of your render times, invest in processing power and RAM. I upgraded to the Titan Black and noticed hardly any difference in my render times. Check out this response given by AE's Todd Kopriva on Sept 24, 2014 at Creative Cow: CUDA does not accelerate : Adobe After Effects

AME CS5.5 Hanging at 75% & Drive Update for NVIDIA GeForce GTX-470

Hello,
I am having problems with AME CS5.5 hanging as well. I was wondering if somone from Adobe can tell me if the latest Driver upgrade for my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 card of 285.62 is safe/recomended for Adobe CS5.5 Premiere/AME/Encore/After Effects programs. I do not want to cause any additional issues with my Adobe related issues. My present driver is 280.26...Thanks, Steve

I installed the update after creating a restore point.
I guess it's safe, but the behavior is the same. I still have the hanging issue.
I hope that this bug gets fixed soon.,
