How to tell if your graphics card supports MoleHill

If you get rendering issues or only playback in software there is a way to determine if your graphics card should support MoleHill. Please download the exe found here (Win only) http://zp.amsnet.pl/cdragan/d3dcaps.html and run it. In the same directory you will see a 'devcaps.txt' file. In that file there are two lines that tell whether MoleHill is supported:
VERTEX_SHADER_VERSION FFFE0200
PIXEL_SHADER_VERSION FFFF0200
Ignore the FFFE/FFFF values, the values that are important are the 0200 numbers. Those values must be greater than 0200 (not equal to) in order to support MoleHill.
Note that VERTEX_SHADER_VERSION and PIXEL_SHADER_VERSION show up twice in the file, the first ones pertain to d3d8 and will have values around 0104, ignore those, the important values are the second ones.
If your values are greater than 0200 and you are experiencing issues with rendering in HW please post the log and configuration info here and I will log bugs on them.
Thanks!

Hi Tom,
We had to turn off hardware because the graphics drivers, even from mainstream manufacturers like NVidia and ATI aren't well supported and have many issues related to stability and performance. We have 2-3 bugs right now that crash deep within the driver code.
In the near term, we’re focusing our resources on getting hardware accelerated Stage 3D (“Molehill”) on Windows, Mac, and Android – as well as on partner devices like the Playbook. We understand that there are developers using Linux for development, but our efforts are focused on supporting operating systems that are most important to our customers for deploying content, and which also demonstrate the greatest opportunity for future growth for our partners and developers.
best,

How to Update the driver of your graphics card

When I open Photoshop CC, I get this message:
"3D features require a minimum of 512MB of vRAM. Photoshop has detected less than that on your system. Updating the driver of your graphics card may resolve the issue."
I went to the website they recommended but found nothing about this. How can I determine if this is the problem? How do I find out how much vRAM I have? How do I update the driver of my graphics card?

You cannot upgrade the GPU except by buying a newer model with a better GPU. Normally, with shared RAM the GPU will have a maximum of 384 MBs of VRAM with 4 GBs of installed RAM. That will increase by about 128 MBs per 2 GBs of additional installed RAM.

HP 15 Special Edition p000 - How do I update the graphics card?

received this message trying to run Windows movie maker. Cannot see the video i was editing. It worked before...Can i update the graphics card online? please help link me....or do i have to buy a new card and get it installed

Hi @DP21 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a wonderful place to find answers and ideas!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I see from your post that you are unable to run Windows Movie Maker 2012 as you receive an error that your graphic card only support Direct X 9.
You can run the HP Support Assistant to look for updates.
I am unsure if this is your exact model or not but here is the link to the driver page HP Beats Special Edition 15z-p000 CTO Notebook PC Drivers
As this is a CTO model I can not pull up your exact build information. If you would private message me with your serial number I will try to obtain your exact specifications. Do not post it in the public forum as it is private information and would be in violation of the rules.
Have you done all your Windows updates as Direct X is a microsoft program.
I hope this helps

Hi,
The NVIDIA should work with the PCI-E 1.1 bus that your PC has in it. You might want to search this forum for NVIDIA 650 compatibility issues.
Know what the return policy is before you buy.

Need info about nvidia graphics card supported with premiere pro cs5

Hi
I need information about nvidia graphics card supported with premiere pro cs5
If I have a computer(portable) with this video card or graphics card :
nVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 285M with 1GB DDR3 Video Memory available in Single or Dual (SLi) Configurations
Microsoft® DirectX® 10 Compatible
is it going to support MPE in premiere pro cs5?
Regards,
Vinay

To be clear:
You asked about supported cards. Here is a list of supported cards. Others on this thread are telling you how to make an unsupported card function to some degree using a method that is not advocated by Adobe.

Graphic Card Support for pm9m-v

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what graphic cards my motherboard supports as i am about to purchase one. It is an msi pm9m-v running on win 7 with 1gb rddr ram.
Thanx

Wonkanoby is right. The only option would be a PCI Video Card. Forget about PCI Express and/or AGP cards.
Probably best to stick with onboard video.

Graphic card support Java3D?

Here you the detail for my graphic card:
http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/k8-series/k8m890/
and here the detail of the mobo:
http://www.asus.it/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=324&l4=0&model=1282&modelmenu=2
I've installed DirextX 9c on my pc.
I'm training on the Java3d libraries, but I got a problem, with my first example:
DefaultRenderingErrorListener.errorOccurred:
CONTEXT_CREATION_ERROR: Renderer: Error creating Canvas3D graphics context
graphicsDevice = Win32GraphicsDevice[screen=0]
canvas = javax.media.j3d.Canvas3D[canvas0,0,0,248x229]
Java 3D ERROR : OpenGL 1.2 or better is required (GL_VERSION=1.1)
Now, the question: can my graphic card support Java3D libraries?
I've tried to use theese (https://j3d-webstart.dev.java.net/test/) example, but they don't work too!
I hope in some suggest. Thanx in advice

Have you tried updating your OpenGL version? Java 3D may need that for somethings that DirectX can't give...?

How can I measure the Graphics Card usage? I.e. percent load

Hello,
How can I measure the Graphics Card usage, like with the processor in Task Manager, but instead giving a percentage usage for the graphics card instead? Is there an easy way to do this, or would it require a lot of code? Is it even possible?

Ah, so It's unlikely that Java3D will include anything for reading this data then? I was really aiming at measuring the GPU usage under this API which although i have limited knowledge using, I do at least have some knowledge - I wouldn't have a clue how to access any other API's!
I'm using an NVidia TNT2 card at the moment, which is quite old.

Is nVidia geForce 8400: 512 mb Graphic card supports openGL?

Hi Guys, I am using nVidia geForce 8400: 512 mb Graphic card. could some please tell me whether this card is supports openGL? because when I tried in photoshop it is in disable. I can not able to enable. So kindly give your suggestions.
HARI

In the world of video cards, the nVidia geForce 8400 is ancient, slow, and outdated. On a scale where the fastest modern cards benchmark in the vicinity of 3000, the geForce 8400 measured out at 160 (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/).
Do yourself a favor and buy a modern video card mesauring at least 1500 on that scale (see the High End Video Card page). They're not that expensive! Your entire system will pick up speed, and Photoshop can really scream.

How to properly configure a graphics card for Adobe Premiere Pro, SpeedGrade, and After Effects?

Alright, so I have the following system configuration:
2 NVIDIA Geforce GTX 970s
5960X CPU
MSI X99 Gaming 7 Motherboard
32 GB DDR4 RAM
256 GB and 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSDs
Basically, although I have the whole system built together, I'm unsure how to check and know whether or not Adobe Premiere Pro is actually using the graphics card or not. I know that it has to be using some of it, otherwise it wouldn't launch properly (as I discovered from a recent experience.) However, I don't know if there are, perhaps, certain settings within the NVIDIA control panel that should be configured so that Premiere Pro can use the card to its full potential. Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
In other words, these are (I'm pretty sure) all of the default settings that the control panel applies to Premiere Pro. However, I'm not sure if there are any settings in here that I need to change or not. So what I'm looking for in a response to this question:
What settings, if any, should I change for Premiere Pro (as well as other adobe applications that can utilize all the strength of the GTX 970)?
How can I check the GPU activity to know that it's being used during a render? (For example, I can check the CPU utilization with the Task Manager while I render to see that it's being utilized to 100%).
If, perhaps, something else goes wrong and even with the right settings, let's say the card still isn't being fully utilized, what other settings might I have to change to make sure that the GTX 970 is being fully used by Adobe Premiere Pro/After Effects/SpeedGrade CC 2014?

If you want a benchmark to measure the performance of Premiere Pro's utilization of your: disk system, GPU and CPU use our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM)
When you finish running the test and then run the script, you will get this report
This happens to be the result of my laptop (with SSD drives and a GTX 765M GPU)
The disk performance is self explanatory.
Number 2 is a seven layer very complex timeline with heavy CPU and GPU assistance, without GPU hardware acceleration (CPU only) it would take greater than 1350 seconds.
Three above is a measure of a exaggerated timeline using many, many GPU MPE accelerated effects and features that will use a GPU at 99% load (54 seconds above) and a CPU only export of the same timeline (802 seconds).
If you want to compare your results to others you have to register on the PPBM7 site to see the results.
EDIT! I corrected the number in 2 above originally I said 900 seconds but really it was greater than 1350 seconds

Buy a new one?
Seriously, you can't upgrade a video card on a laptop, unless your a electronics whiz or something.
The Intel HD 3000 is a integrated graphics, meaning the CPU does the graphics and isn't all that great because GPU's are more powerful than CPU's apparently.

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
The most powerful vidoe cards are in desktop machines which you can exchange, and for less money Windows tower is a better 3D gaming platform as it comes with Windows when you buy the comptuer (a $300 savings) most games are on Windows because of the less expensive and open hardware.
However! If your into 3D gaming and need a Mac laptop, then you'll need a
2.2 Ghz 15" MacBook Pro with 1GB Radeon 6750M video card or
2.2 Ghz 17" Macbook Pro with 1GB Radeon 6750M video card.
(2.3Ghz is fine too, not all that much faster really)
This Radeon 6750M is THREE times faster than the pitiful Intel HD 3000.
The object being is you buy as much video card performance up front as you can, and play all the latest games at over 50 fps on max settings!
Then over time as new games come out and demand more hardware, you trim down the graphics in the game itself to keep the frame rate up.
Eventually though, you'll have to buy a new MacBook Pro, because you can't (reasonably) change the video card in laptops like you can with a desktop like a Windows PC tower or a MacPro.
The iMac you can't do squat with neither. Which is a shame actually.

Are their any graphics cards supported above gtx 690

So I am starting school and I wanted to make sure the laptop I buy is supported fully. I was looking at the list of supported graphics cards for After Effects and i noticed that the 700s and 800s are not listed. I am thinking it may be that the list is just out of date (I hope)
thank you in advance for your input.

a simple Google search brings up the official list:
System requirements | After Effects
Any other cards may or may not work for GPU accelerated effects in AE using the Ray-traced rendering system, but this rendering engine is obsolete and will not be undergoing any further development.
A better list to look at are the Mercury playback supported cards for Premiere Pro.
System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro
I would make my choice from this list.

Native graphic card support

Anyone knows of projects which try to use native rendering support of the current graphic card generations for JAI support?
