How about the Graphic Performance?

Hello all!
May someone can help me to get that clarified ...
I have a MacMini with Thunderbolt connection. Latley I started to use RC Flight simulator which challenges the video card of my MacMini pretty much.
How about a Thunderbolt Display? Will TB just "substitute" my current HDMI-Connection or will some computing power be "outsourced" to the display? In other words: will the graphic performance of my MacMini improve using a TB-Display or does it stay the same because the build in video card is still "in charge"?
Thx for your help!

No question the Thunderbolt is without doubt a fantastic display, however to answer your question I'm personally experiencing a performance drop (see my very recent thread in this forum).
One of my reasons for finally getting the Thunderbolt Display was to enjoy some proper gaming on a big screen for 3D games both within OS X and Bootcamp. Even when I match my MacBook Pro 17" unibody's (early 2011) top resolution with the Thunderbolt Display for a like for like comparison, I get a performance drop which I was hoping would never happen. I was hoping that with the MacBook Pro in closed 'clamshell' and thus the MacBook Pro switching it's own display 'off' and presumably diverting all of the GPU's performance power straight to the Thunderbolt Display via it's direct fast Thunderbolt bus; that it would at the very very least match the performance when using the MacBook Pro's own display, but currently I have to choose the 'very low' graphics setting on some games to maintain a decent frame-rate for smooth game play.
Mybe this is not a permanent Thunderbolt Display problem/fault and might be resolved at some point by means of a software, display driver or display/thunderbolt/GPU firmware update. If that be the case then I'll know there's hope at the end of the tunnel. Understandably I wasn't expecting my MacBook Pro 17" early 2011 to perform miracles with it's graphics performance anyhow, but it's 1GB Graphics adapter isn't all that bad either and is a half decent card that can give acceptable results. But If you where to match the resolution of the Thunderbolt Display to that of the MacBook Pro for comparison for yourself and then run a 3D game like say 'Dirt 2', you will soon realise there are slight performance issues; unless of course I'm doing something wrong.
Here's hoping this may only be a temporary drawback for the Thunderbolt Display with 3D applications/gaming.

How is the graphics performance with the HD4000 GPU forced on

How folks....
I am wondering if anyone here is running there rMBP with the HD4000 GPU forced on (using gfxCardStatus.)
I always run with the integrated GPU on my Late 2011 MBP 15 (the GPU performance is adequate for me this way with the HD3000.)
Since there are a lot more pixels to drive on the rMBP, I wonder if the scrolling, screen switching, going to mission control and back, etc. suffers when using the integrated GPU only. I wonder if anyone is willing to give this a try? This might also fix the graphics corruptions problem you guys have been seeing when coming back from sleep with the rMBP.
gfxCardStatus download link: http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus (v 2.2.1 supports Mountain Lion as well as the Retina MBP.)

I've got a 1.8 with upgraded RAM and have had no problems outputting to my 720p display. Some previous posts have stated that doing 1080i with a compressed feed is the only thing that is too much and you need the new model for that.

great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!

The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations. Thank Apple for that.
You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
But first, give us details about your setup:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

how about the Chinese language doc. Able to use with the My Lyric Book program?

I'm not sure where you see that the links I gave suggested that. The iPhoto link (quoted below) in step 4 suggests dragging the library to the new location. You can do that in Finder by dragging the library to the external disk in the Finder sidebar. If you don't have a sidebar in Finder, go to the Finder View menu and click Show Sidebar. If the external disk isn't visible in the sidebar, go to the Finder Preferences, click Sidebar at the top of the Preferences window, and put a checkmark in front of External disks in the Devices section.
You can move your entire iPhoto library to a different computer, a hard disk, or another location on your computer.
Important: Before you move your iPhoto library, it’s a good idea to back it up to a DVD or external hard disk.
Move your iPhoto library
If you’ve created multiple photo libraries, be sure to move only the library currently displayed when iPhoto is open. To move a different library, you first need to switch to it.
Quit iPhoto.
In the Finder, choose your home folder (it’s usually named after you).
Open the Pictures folder (in the home folder) to locate the iPhoto Library file.
Drag the iPhoto Library file to a new location on your computer.
Open iPhoto.
In the window that appears, select the library you want, and then click Choose.

Why?
The 5770 is a better replacement. The 8800 you are stuck with ebay for about same price.

About The Graphic Card limited of Aperture

Apple said that "some of iMac G5, Powerbook G4...”with 1GB above can run Aperture, But much of Apple computers include iMac G5, even My G5 1.8 GHz with 2GB RAM can not run it in fact, because of the Graphic Card limited. Geforce FX 5200 were the Graphic Card in many of Power Mac G5 computer, if those "newer" computer can not run Aperture, I must have to buy a new Graphic Card for Aperture? I don't know why Apple do that, I have just bought my G5, and then it can't run Aperture, so sad of that...

At least with a Powermac you can change your Graphics card. You probably would want to wait anyways for them to fix the many issues with this app.
If it is a single 1.8 then even with a new card it will be sluggish. It's slow on a Quad for certain tasks.

Marker Keys Expression, how about the last key

Hi, if you have dabbled in expressions you probably have already found how nifty the expression
thisLayer.marker.nearestKey(time); is. I first used it to put XMP metadata on the screen.
I also tend to use it for changing text instead of the source property since it's easy to see the text,
where it's at and so forth.
I've read the manual, but haven't found anything like:
thisLayer.marker.lastKey(time);
What I would like is for whatever property I am using from the last keyframe to remain the value until it reaches
the next keyframe.
Anyone know how that might be done?

Mylenium, You and your site have been more than helpful to me. It's people like you that make any community worth it's while.
Adobe should put a larger than life statue of you in the center of San Jose, or at least give you like free vacations to hawaii or something :-)
If you are ever in my neck of the woods I'm buying
I have a project I am supposed to turn over to other studios so they can use it as a template. Rather than have them dig around through layers to change titles and stuff, I am putting all the keyframes into a configuration composition and having all the other layers take their cues from it. Never tried to do anything like that before but it's actually looking like a nice solution and an easy way to set up timing and text through all the compositions just by opening one and editing. I think the extra work and the extra expressions will pay off as the project gets used over and over.
Again Thanks, can't wait to get into the studio monday and try this out.

How about the performance of AIR 2.6 in iOS/Android?

Does anyone test the performance improvement of AIR 2.6 in iOS/Android? Could you share the result? It's pretty good if you can release your testing code. It gives me a headache to update my AIR 2.5 in Flash CS5.

Today, I created the AIR 2.6 environment to package my swf with Flash CS5. It gave me a big surprise, the performance became worse. Oh my god, who can save me?

Vista SP1 decreased the graphic performance

I installed Service Pack 1 through Windows update today and it decreased my laptop performance a lot :(
For example my GPU and CPU had 68000 points in aquamark3 without SP1 but after install a made a test and got only 53000.
Later I removed SP1 and now everything works like before.
Anyone experienced the same?

Well this is pretty strange because the service pack 1 should do the opposite thing and increase performance, as you can read it often in the internet.
Have you reinstalled your graphic card driver too?
To be honest, I have not uses some benchmark tool to check if performance was changed, so I only got a Vista with integrated SP1.
One thing you could try is, to do a complete reinstallation of your operating system and after you installed Vista do a SP1 upgrade. Then install all drivers, tools and applications.

How about the possibility to export a CONSOLIDATED BACKUP FILE ?

Hello you all !
Like many others, I feel the need to own a backup file of my activity on Spotify. It's not at all that I don't trust Spotify, but issues can (and sometimes do) occur with data, and having a simple comprehensive file would really bring peace of mind to me :-)
Personnally, I would like to create this backup file every month or so, in a .csv, .xls or .txt format, via a simple export function.
It would include playlists artists and titles of course, giving some more details as : playlist addition date, local file or not, if it happened mention of deletion from the Spotify database (contract changed between artist and Spotify), if it happened mention of automatic title switch in the Spotify database (same reason), title lentgh, album name. Furthermore, this backup file would also include the whole list of followed artists, also mentionning here when an artist would disappear from the Spotify database (hopefully in rare cases :-)).
My personal music is very important to me, and being certain that I can keep a reliable backup of my likes, dislikes, and music choices is crucial for users like me. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS IDEA IF YOU LIKE IT !
