NVIDIA Quadro CX  and Adobe CS4

Just wondering if anyone's using this and is it worth the cost in AE?
Also, noticed it has Stereo 3D monitoring support. How does this work in AE?
Thanks for any replies.

No idea, really. I've read a more detailed review here http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=649, and while the thing seems to "hammer", the conclusion is, that it's primarily doing good things for Premiere and Photoshop users. So if you really only do AE and have no studio equipment that could benefit from the SDI and dual HDMI, it is probably not having that many advantages compared to a more affordable model. And I just realized once more, that I really need to rob a bank. ;-) Core7i, graphics card, big monitor... so many new beautiful things and no money on the account. *sigh*

  • Early 2008 Mac Pro, NVIDIA Quadro 5600, and Adobe CS5 - HELP!!!

    Hello, I am currently pulling my hair out over my GPU situation. I'm eagerly awaiting the ship date for CS5, but I'm concerned about one of its system requirements, where it says an OpenGL capable card must be supported for the software to work.
    So I went to their handy chart explaining which cards are supported, and mine, the Quadro FX 5600, is not listed on the Mac side. It is however listed on the Windows side.
    But when I bought my Mac Pro, the 5600 was being offered by Apple, they're the ones who installed it for me! Haven't had a problem in CS4, but now I'm afraid I won't see the significant boost in power Adobe is promising from CS5.
    When I called Adobe about it, I was on the phone for more than 45 minutes, talking to people in India who I even got to admit don't actually use the software, and ultimately told me they simply couldn't answer the question.
    So if anyone could advise me wether or not my Early 2008 Mac Pro with Quadro FX 5600 graphics card will support OpenGL in After Effects CS5, I'd be eternally grateful.
    Thanks so much!

    I have always assumed there would be no problem. You can download from
    http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/download.html
    the OpenGL Extensions Viewer, which, when launched DIRECTLY TESTS with which versions of the OpenGL standard your card is compatible. (Right now there appear to be download problems with the URL above (a 421 FTP error: server is limiting available connections.)
    I'm also hoping this indicates no problems with CS5!
    Hope this helps.

    It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

  • NVidia Quadro 4000 and early 2008 Mac Pro (3,1)

    Hi to all.
    I think my display card just died.
    I've been wanting to get the NVidia Quadro 4000 for a while now as I do editing professionally and would like to make the Adobe Production suite zippier.
    So now, I have no functional card for my monitors. Can I use the NVidia Quadro 4000 for my Dell monitors? One of the Dell's has a DVI-D2 input but the other has only VGA as far as I can tell. Or does it make more sense to get a different card? Or both the Quadro and a lower level card?
    Also, does the NVidia Quadro 4000 need extra power and if so, how easy is it to connect and would I be able to use the DVD burner?
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Running Snow Leopard, 18GB RAM

    So many questions and so little time... lunch!
    There is Wikipedia.
    AMD = OpenCL
    Nvidia = OpenCL and CUDA
    CUDA is part of every Nvidia card, GeForce GTX or Quadro
    Open source compiler to make CUDA and OpenCL much easier and better (OpenCL is 4-5 yrs old but a pain to code and optimize with a lot of micro management. Not today but AMD's support for just OpenCL is limiting. But something to support both technologies is a year away probably.
    Dual boot is a must! Clone your system / or install Lion on 2nd drive
    Setup Assistant to import from 10.6 to Lion so you have both.
    Clones as backup.
    Out of the box: the startup is missing on screen without the modification. The drivers are normally and only found bundled into OS X which is why you don't normally see or have to go to AMD to get the latest driver. Or downgrade to a better working driver. you have to rely on OS X and version.
    That is why GTX 5xx and 10.7.3
    OWC charges more than Amazon or Apple and charges for 6-pin cable. The 5770 does work - with 10.6.5 or later. It does not work with older OS - no driver. It does not allow you to boot from your 10.6.0 DVD and install.
    You could order the GTX 570 (I'd skp on 560, I have looked into both but up to you). And 680s are not supported yet, and still scarce. But great card for the $499.
    The GTX 570 2.5GB was the one recommended with its 2.5GB VRAM. $349.
    http://www.evga.com/products/
    To get a boot screen means modifying the card which means sending it to Calif and $100 + shipping.
    Some people use the GTX purely for CUDA and still use ATI 5770 for their monitor.
    Oh, yes, died. No card on hand as backup or spare.
    Shame. I'd toss coin and then go with.... Q4K but
    http://www.amazon.com/PNY-DisplayPort-Profesional-Graphics-VCQ4000MAC-PB/dp/B004 CRS78O
    You could wait and see. I'd over night the Q4K for $810, then see how that does, it does have 2x the VRAM. And you could use GTX 570 or 680 down the road when you do upgrade to Lion plus.
    Comparing 5770 to Q4K:

  • Is Mac OS X v10.7 Lion compatible with Microsoft 2008 and Adobe CS4?

    I am looking to upgrade my Macbook Pro to Lion and need to ensure that the following applicans will still work? Any know issues that I should be aware of before upgrading? 

    I'm finding that Adobe CS4 isn't so fine, at least InDesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4. I researched this yesterday before I upgraded to Lion and couldn't find anything other than the possible issue with Java Runtime. I installed Lion and updated to Java For Mac OS X 10.7. However, both InDesign and Illustrator crash when I attempt to print. As soon as I select "Print" the spinning rainbow ball appears for a short time, then the programs crash. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Mac OS X 10.5.7 and Adobe CS4?

    Hi,
    I just purchased a copy of Adobe CS4 and then saw that it has only been tested up to 10.5.4. Adobe Technical Support was not much help! They said that I can install it and it will probably work, but if something goes wrong then they won't give me tech support because it's not tested for this version of Mac. I was shocked, since 10.5.7 came out over a year ago.
    Since this is a $2000 program, I want to be sure that it will work before I crack open the box. Have people had problems running CS4 on 10.5.7? Would CS3 work better?
    Thanks!

    I've had no problems running CS4 on any version of 10.5 up to and including 10.5.8. But I'm not a power user; you might want to ask in Adobe's own forums; anyone with problems with CS4 is most likely to take them up there.
    If Adobe denied me tech support (not that I've ever had any luck getting useful support from Adobe) because their testing and certification were behind and don't officially support the newer versions of 10.5, I'd be going 'round and 'round with them and it wouldn't be pretty. But that's Adobe for you; they're virtually a monopoly now since their buyout of Macromedia so they think they can do what they want.
    BTW, in fairness, 10.5.7 did not come out almost a year ago, but 10.5.5 did, so your point about them being far behind in version testing is still valid.

  • Nvidia Quadro 4000 and GeForce GT 120

    Hi,
    I currently have 2 CUDA cards in my MacPro and I know that PPro can only use one card at a time.  I'm just trying to figure out if it is possible to tell which card PPro is using for CUDA acceleration, or hopefully to point PPro to the card I want it to use?
    I'm testing out Davinci Resolve and have added a GT 120 to my system which I've put in Slot 1, and moved my Quadro 4000 to Slot 2 as per the Resolve specs.
    The way I'm understanding it, is that PPro is using the GT 120 now instead of the 4000.  I've noticed today a couple of outright crashes of PPro.  I'm wondering it the GT 120 is responsible for that.  (I did put in a Speed/Duration of 100% reverse on a clip which I think may be the problem)
    My concern is that I want to continue to use the Quadro 4000 with PPro (I'm thinking, for the price I paid, it should be the higher preforming card), and not have it just sitting there, only getting used by DaVinci.
    I guess my question really is, if I am not sold on going with DaVinci, does make any sense to keep the GT 120 in my tower if PPro is my main editor?
    Also on a related note... is the GT 120 a better preforming card with AE? A quick render test did show the GT 120 render a comp 43secs as opposed to 62sec by the 4000.
    Any insight is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    one quick addition... I know the GT 120 is not a "supported" card, but I am getting Mercury Hardware playback... that's why i'm not sure if the 4000 is being used.   What's leading to my confusion is the fact that After Effects will only use the GT 120 for OpenCL if both cards are installed (in either slot 1 or 2, the order doesn't seem to matter).

  • OS Maverick for Mac and Adobe CS4 compatibility and problem fixes

    Is Adobe CS4 Creative Suite which includes Illustrator, Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Bridge, etc.
    compatible with OS Maverick upgrade for Mac?  I want to upgrade my Mac Book Pro.

    It's not per se 100% compatible, but many people run it still. The biggest hurdle will be re-configuring your OSX so legacy apps don't bump into permission issues with user folders such as Library. Also it seems to be impossible to produce PDFs under certain conditions and CS4 apps don't recognize most modern printers.

  • 10.6.3 and Adobe CS4

    I depend heavily on the Adobe Creative Suites for my business. I am currently running Adobe CS4. I have not yet upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 because I have heard about all of the problems with Adobe CS4. I really don't want to make that leap, until I know the issues have been worked out. Have any Adobe users been able to successfully upgrade yet?

    Why upgrade if your system is working and stable?
    If you feel you really need to upgrade get a second hard disk and install Snow Leopard and CS4 on that. Once everything has been tested you can shift to the new system.

  • Nvidia Quadro update and SDI selection

    Any suggestions??
    Thanks in advance.

    Ask in the relevant product forum, which seems to be Premiere Pro in your case, right? And provide more details about your system....

  • Windows 8 Consumer Preview and Adobe CS4

    I know this is pre-release, but am hopeful anyway. I've installed CS4 onto my Windows 8 CP installation but am having problems with several programs:
    Dreamweaver has a problem with 'Dreamweaver encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current menus.xml file.' and won't start.
    Photoshop (both 32 and 64-bit) has a runtime error and stops working 'Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working'.
    Illustrator was having a problem loading plugins, but now I get nothing at all!
    I think this all has something to do with permissions. When I visit c:/Users/Username/Appdata/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/ I am warned I cannot access this. I delve a little deeper with the security tab and see there is no owner, so add my machine as the owner and I can access the folder. It's empty, however. The same applies to the folders for the other programs in the suite.
    Any ideas? I've reinstalled three times and it makes no difference.
    Clive

    mrportman - Were you able to get it running? I also want to upgrade from 7 to Windows 8 but the Windows Upgrade Assistant says CS4 is not compatible. AS it standsd now CS4 is not upgradeable to current version so would force me to pay full price of ~$2k for Web Premium - ouch!
    Did you find a way to run CS4 on Win 8?
    The MSft resource at link below is unhelpful, to say the least, as the tables plasters the "compatible" icon even when most user votes reveal otherwise...

  • Nvidia quadro 4000 and boot camp monitor issue

    Hey Im running a quadro 4000 on my mac pro and I'm having issues in my bootcamp partition running windows 7, were it won't wake up from sleep or screens won't turn on at all, some issues in general with it booting up properly and sometimes screens go black, but computer is still running just black screens... any ideas... from what i see people have been running this with and since the latest drivers people seem to be happy... just can't seem to get much performance out of mine. Even treid installing the drivers as a root user but still having similar issues as before.
    From reading on many forums it seems like this should not be happening with the latest drivers now out, Ive put back my old ATI and it works fine so im pretty sure its the card... any suggestions or tips?
    thanks
    steve

    You will have to ask the Suitcase people. I see nothing in there related to the Adobe part of the equation. It's the Suitcase plug-in dragging down everything all the way.

  • Snow Leopard and Adobe CS4 print to PDF

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded to Leopard and noticed that while using photoshop and illustrator i can no longer choose Print->Print to PDF... I have to use this option because i print files via a network at school and I cannot send big .psd and .ai files. Any suggestions? I did some reading and discovered that Snow Leopard blocks that functionality.. so is there a work around or another way that I can print my files without them being really large.
    Thanks
    Matt

    The PDF drop down does not appear in Illustrator or Photoshop... I have access to it in Acrobat.
    The guys in the computer lab at school told me to do the following..
    1) From creative suite program. File-Save As-PDF
    2) Open that File in Adobe Acrobat
    3) Export file to Post Script File
    4) Re-Open that Post Script File in Acrobat and save it over the intial PDF file.
    Seems like there should be an easier way... (they are all PC guys)...
