After Effects uses your CPU and RAM Primarily, not the GPU.
You only need NVIDIA CUDA for one function: the acceleration of ray-traced 3D compositions. Your newer Maxwell NVIDIA GPU does not contain the OptiX Library necessary for this function so it will not ever work for accelerating ray-traced 3D compositions. Sorry.
The After Effects team is no longer working on this feature and suggests that you use Cinema 4D Lite (bundled) for your 3D work instead. There are also some great third party options for adding 3D elements to After Effects compositions like Invigorator Pro and Video Copilot Element 3D.
Hope that clears things up.
Thanks,
Kevin

  • What video card do I need to make Photoshop CC 2014 to use 3D? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB graphics.

    What video card do I need to make Photoshop CC 2014 to use 3D? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB graphics.

    A couple of questions:
    1.  Have you tried resetting your preferences?
    2.  If you go to Preferences > Performance - is "Use Graphics Processor" enabled?  If not, can you select it?
    Your system should be fine to support 3D in PS CC 2014.  Once I have more information from you we can move onto next steps if necessary.
    Thanks,

  • CUDA for Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M

    Hi, I encountered an prompt message from AE CC when I start the software saying this:
    Ray-tracing on the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0 or later. For now, ray-tracing will use the CPU.
    After installing CUDA 5.0 or later, restart your computer.
    Therefore, I need some answers on whether I can download CUDA driver on Nvidia Geforce GTX 780M.
    I am running on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1, specs are as follow:
    3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Nvidia GeForece GTX 780M 4096MB
    1TB Fusion Drive

    How do you set your comp's to use the standard renderer only?
    In the advanced tab of your composition settings. More info here.
    If you really need 3d in After Effects and don't have time to learn C4D (although, you should make time because it's a powerful program and it's free with AE), you could get a third-party plugin like Element 3d (which is amazing) or these tried and true methods.

  • CUDA drivers for Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M

    Hi, may I know if my current display card supports CUDA driver and if not would it be possible to download the driver and install it manually from Nvidia's website without conplicating the system?

    3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Yes, your iMac does support CUDA. The other responder is incorrect in this situation. I have the same model and installed the CUDA driver with Preference Pane from NVIDIA.  I have the Neat Video Denoiser plugin for FCPX and it states that it will be faster and more efficient if the GPU parallel processing is enabled with the NVIDIA CUDA driver for Mac.  It works like a charm and is only utilized by apps that can use it.  Regarding the other respondent, yes, generally you want to install things from the Mac App Store, but that does not mean there are cases where you need or wish to install special apps, preference panes, etc that are not part of OS X or available in the App Store. The CUDA driver is one of them.  It's entirely safe to install and will significantly boost your performance in apps that support parallel GPU computation.

  • Does the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M with 4GB really make a difference

    I just bought 27inch late 2012 imac. 3.4ghz i7 32gb ram NVIDIA 680MX 2gb and Im currious does the 780M 4gb really make a difference. I do not play any games. I do have 2 27 lightening bolt displays. I do alot of video editing and photograph. I have all Adobe Products and Apple software but i cannot find any where that the GTX 780m with 4gb will be any better. All I can find is if you play games then 4gb is good.
    Any advice would be great!
    Thank you in advance,

    Certain applications such as Photoshop or Final Cut Pro will benefit from the higher video ram, however the GTX 680M is a very powerful card and the 2GB of ram that it comes with should be more than sufficient for most tasks.
    Only extremely large files/projects will truly benefit from having the 4GB or ram that the GTX 780M supplies.
    The 2013 iMac offers a performance boost over the 2012 version, however the increases in terms of CPU/GPU power are mostly modest.
    The Haswell architecture was designed with mobile use as the primary focus and so areas such as energy usage were the priority.
    The Nvidia 7XX graphics cards run on the same Kepler architecture as the 6XX cards, as with the Intel CPU the improvements are there but there is not a huge leap forward.

  • Is the better NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5 worth it?

    Just a year ago, having 2GB of video ram was considered pretty massive.  Now we can upgrade the standard iMac to this 4GB card (when ordering new).  Wondering if anyone has any views about whether or not I will notice any benefit in real world rather than benckmark tests, compared to the 775m card.  I will be using Final Cut Pro X, Photoshop, Aperture and some other graphics stuff, but no gaming to speak of and no 3D rendering.

    I take your point about future needs, but at the same time, if the 2GB card was the top end just a year ago, then I wonder if the faster card makes a real difference at all. 
    Mende1, I'm saying that I will be using all those apps snf I'm using them all for my work, so seroius work, but can't ever imagine editing 4k video and no 3d rendering.  I will edit in 1920 HD though.

  • Why my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M does not support GPU in After Effects

    I use Adobe After Effects. How do I get the video card enable GPU?

    Although this card is not specifically mentioned in the hardware spec for After Effects this does not mean it wont be able to use GPU graphics rendering.
    See the the adobe GPU information page for more details:   GPU Features in After Effects

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram,  will it work with Mercury playback Engine for accelerate

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram,  will it work with adobe Mercury playback Engine for accelerated rendering for Premeire Pro cs6?

    I am a PC guy but, I have 6 work stations with CS6 but the wife wants a Mac so I am getting her an imac with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram. Do you think this video card in the mac will still be able to utilize the Adobe CS6 MPE?
    It's not formally supported by Adobe for GPU acceleration; however judging from the fact that the lesser GTX-650M is (with 6.02 update), and the end-user ability to enable support for unsupported cards in Adobe apps, it should work.

  • IMac with the NVidia 8800 option -- How noisy/quiet is it ?

    Hi,
    I have a PC with Vista, and I am just about to pull the trigger and get an iMac.
    Noise is very important to me, and I am wondering if I should choose the NVidia option because of the noise. I am planning on running XPlane on this computer, and I know it will run better with the NVidia card.
    Does anybody have an iMac with the NVidia card ? What's the difference in terms of noise with the ATI option ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I wish I could say I was 100% happy with this iMac, but unfortunately, this isn't so.
    While the original topic, the sound level, is just as we talked, as soon as you start pushing this NVIDIA graphic card, it causes the computer to crash. It's actually worse than what I was experiencing with Vista. Everytime it crashes, it has some funny badly rendered graphic on the screen, and just totally lock up on me. Sometimes it's so bad, I can't even ssh to the machine. Although I can't say for sure, it looks like the problem comes from the NVIDIA graphic card.
    Truth to be told, I use a lot of graphic intensive applications like VmWare Fusion and iPhotos, but that's what it's supposed to be for!!!
    I have to reboot the iMac every day almost. A real shame.

  • Updating drivers for Nvidia Geforce GTX 460m in Qosmio X505-Q896

    I have been trying to update the GTX 460m driver from ver. 259.12 to the newest version 260.99. This newer driver is needed to make an older video game(Final Fantasy 11) playable. It has been available on Nvidia's site for some time now but is still not available on Toshiba's site for some reason. Simply downloading from the Nvidia website and running the file gets me this message "The graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". It got me scratching my head because this model laptop has that specific graphics card.
    I called Toshiba support and they told me that because the kind of GTX 460m in this computer is specifically made for Toshiba the driver update is not supported. That doesn't make any sense to me.  Why wouldn't a driver specifically made for the Nvidia Geforce GTX 460m not be compatible with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 460m?
    This was in the notes on the driver download page from Nvidia. "Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power technology with Intel chipsets are not supported by this release." Could this be the problem? I have no idea if this laptop has Hybrid power or intel chipsets. It also downloaded the file into international instead of the english folder. I am at my wits end. I just want to play a game.
    Is there a way around this ?
    I put another post similiar to this one in the driver forum but didn't really get any help. I am hoping for a little more exposure and that's why this is in the general forums.

    ShawnWiseman,
    This is a known issue with Nvidia GPUs - not just the Qosmio.
    Go here:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/w​indows_7-hardware/display-driver-stopped-respondin​...
    I have a Qosmio X505-Q870 and can tell you that the stuff discussed at the link I provided did NOT resolve my issue.
    It will, however, give you some background and leave you with the conclusion that 'you are not alone' with the problem.
    I have seen posts around the web that suggest re-applying thermal paste to the CPU and GPU along with cleaning the cooling fans will resolve this issue.
    I have also seen posts stating that the GPU will have to be replaced . . .
    Take your pick!
    I believe it IS heat-related . . .
    What I did was remove the bottom covers from my machine and sit it on top of a Coolermaster NotePal X3 laptop cooler and it resolved the issue . . .
    Good Luck!

  • Nvidia GeForce GTX 485M GPU - Anyone Used It?

    I'm about to pull the trigger on a new Sager laptop for CS5.5 MC.
    I have the options for the Nvidia GeForce GTX 485M GPU with 2GB GDDR5 Video Memory, or the Nvidia Quadro FX 3800M Graphics with 1GB DDR3 Video Memory. The difference is ~ US$500, and pays for a bunch of other options.
    Unless it has just been updated, the GTX 485M is not directly supported for hardware MPE, but I assume that by applying the hack for that card, it should work. Does anyone have experience with that less-expensive card?
    My old workstation (soon to be replaced too), has a Quadro FX-4500, which has been a stout card for years, however was crazy expensive, and I never have really put it to the test, considering what I do.
    If I have to go with the FX 3800M, then so be it, but I'd rather buy more toys.
    Thanks for your observations and thoughts,
    Hunt
    PS - I know that Sager's biggest market is the gaming world, but it is getting harder to get a top-level laptop without SLI for dual-nVidia cards/chips, or Crossfire for the ATI/AMD. As soon as I take delivery, Adobe will probably announce that PrPro NOW fully supports SLI, but I'll live with it.

    Hey, it would not be the first time, that I was the "new kid on the block," with something, but not lately...
    Will probably go with it, and then run the Benchmark, just to get it listed. The Quadros are nice, BUT not sure that the laptop would really benefit from one, and especially to the tune of + US $ 500.
    Thanks,
    Hunt
