NvidiaGTX680 Mac Edition with PremiereProCS6 - no GPU acceleration

Hey
i installed NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Mac Edition (part nr. 02G-P4-3682-KR) in a MAC PRO 3, 1 (2008 - OX 10.8.5). i work with Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.5, latest update). the Mercury Playback Engine does not support GPU acceleration. But a Link from NVIDIA to Adobe tells me it should work (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html). Another link from Adobe tells something different. (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.html) Whats true? .... I bought this graphic card in order to be able to use the gpu acceleration! How can I solve this problem?

ATI Radeon HD4870, not used with motion as GPU acceleration

Hi, I have a problem with my setup. Motion does not use my ATI card for GPU acceleration.
So a simple project on my new mac with this card, is much, much slower than my macbookpro with Nvidia GeForce 9400M, or my old edit machine that has a Radeon X1900 on a macPro 3GHz.
And the atMonitor utility shows good use of GPU on these machines, but on my new machine with ATI HD 4870 card, the GPU is never used in motion.... So what is wrong with my HD4870 card.
/Helge

Motion uses the GPU to do all its heavy lifting, I'm not sure how accurately the atMonitor software reflects this, nor how taxing your project is. CPU is used to perform the math, but the GPU does all the image manipulation.

Can I replace an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION with Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5

Hi,
I am trying to help a friend whose graphics card has bust.
The old one was an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION.
I've been looking on ebay and it seems a lot cheaper to get a Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5.
Can I just swap them over? The connectors are not identical according to the photographs.
Thanks.

I'd like to thank everyone for all the really useful information in this thread. It helped me solve a similar problem, which I'll describe here briefly in case it helps someone else.
I have a 2004/5 dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5 and an Apple Cinema HD display linked, as I later found out, with the now defunct ADC connector. The display suddenly started to look like that scene in The Matrix, when code falls like rain down the screen, and I worked out I needed to replace my Radeon 9800 pro video card (I discovered the board was blue when I removed a thick layer of dust).
I took japamac's excellent advice and bought a Geforce 6800 Ultra from the linked eBay seller in Hong Kong, who delivered it extremely quickly, along with the cables to plug it into the DVD drive power source and a CD with installation instructions. It was only then that I realised the card had two DVI connectors and my display needed ADC (I hadn't understood the difference).
eBay came to the rescue again with a seller who had a secondhand DVI to ADC adapter, which Apple produced when it phased out ADC about six years ago but no longer sells. It has its own power supply and looks like a large version of the Mac laptop power cables - and has added signifcantly to the pile of spaghetti under my desk.
Installing the Geforce 6800 Ultra is fiddly, and a bit scary if you're not used to delving into the insides of a Mac, but the instructions were clear and illustrated with useful photos. The video cable has four connectors. Two fit into the end of the card, the other two (linked in a Y shape) form a bridge between the DVD/superdrive and its power cable. You have to remove the DVD drive, unplug it, and then plug one of the two Y video card connectors into the DVD power cable and the other into the DVD drive itself. Then you replace the DVD drive, plug the two remaining cable connectors to the video card and ease it into the old card's AGP slot.
Finally, with the G5 reassembled, plug the adapter's DVI connection into the back of the card, plug the Cinema Display ADC cable into the adapter block, plug the adapter's USB cable into the G5 (this enables the the USB ports on the back of the display to work), and power up.
At the time of writing, the display has been up and running for a couple of hours and all seems fine.
Thanks again everyone for all your help and advice. If it wasn't for communities like this, it would be virtually impossible to solve problems with old but still serviceable Macs.

Issues with Mercury Engine GPU acceleration and stills

Hi folks, recently made the switch to CS6 Creative Cloud and for the most part I am loving Premiere Pro CS6 except I am having one major issue. I've got a early 2011 Macbook Pro with the 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6750M video card and 16GB of RAM and I am using Lion 10.7.4. Mercury Engine GPU mode works great on this machine (fast timeline renders, accelerated effects, quick exports) except whenever I try to use a still image on the timeline. It doesn't matter if it's a JPG, TIFF, PSD, or anything else. It also doens't matter what the size of the image is either. As soon as I drop a still on the timeline the responsiveness of the entire program starts to grind to a halt. Parts of the timeline that were playing back soomthly (in GPU or software mode) now can barely play at 10-15 fps.
I don't have this issue in Software Mercury Playback mode (I just loose all the benefits of the GPU acceleration).
If I switch back to Software Mode, delete the previews and restart Premiere things go back to working well in software mode.
I'm working on projects with Canon DSLR footage (1080P 30fps) and I am working off of a fast RAID 0 hard drive set-up.
If anyone has any advice on how I can actually use the amazing GPU mode I would be most grateful.
thanks
Daniel

Mac Pro GPU Accelerator

Premiere CS3 and AE are not fast at all at rendering. I believe this is because its rendered on the CPU. A few questions on this..
- I heard final cut uses the GPU to render, is this true?
- In premiere is there a way to switch to GPU rendering, not just "GPU Acceleration" which doesn't seem to do much.
- Is this technology simply just too new?
- I have the ati radeon 1900xt. Would I benefit from a newer card? Or would that allow pure GPU rendering? Is it a matter of having a different graphics card, or is it software settings, drivers, etc. that hold back the GPU for video renders?
I also saw this, http://elementaltechnologies.com/products.php?id=5 is this the only way?

Notice this in that link:
*NVIDIA Quadro* graphics processing unit (GPU)
However,
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 Featuring a massive 1.5GB frame buffer of GDDR3 memory, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 is the ultimate workstation-level graphics card. It’s ideal for industrial-strength 3D design work, modeling, animation, and stereo 3D visualization. One of the most advanced graphics cards available, it has an integrated stereo 3D port, so you can use stereo goggles for stereo-in-a-window visualization applications. With two dual-link DVI ports, you can connect two 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays. - Apple Store
The Quadro FX 5600 ($2700) does feature more video memory (1.5GB vs 512MB). And, according to one Maya guru, the extra memory (and superior memory management code) of the Quadro workstation cards becomes useful for frame buffering in Maya. This is especially true for redraw of multiple views of the same complex 3D model.
This has been enhanced further by Quadro FX 5600's new integrated memory allocation which allows the card to dynamically allocate on-board RAM to whatever task is at hand rather than have specific hard wired allocations. So rather than say a maximum of 40% of total on-board RAM dedicated to the texture buffer the card can ramp up and down from 80% sharing with the immediate needs of the other buffers. http://www.barefeats.com/york2.html
*Radeon 3870* (requires 10.5.3+)compared to X1900
http://www.barefeats.com/harper16.html
Other things to look at that you can do:
More RAM, faster drives and scratch RAID, updating to 10.5.4 (the Radeon 3870 and Nvidia 8800GT both require 10.5.3+).

The GTX 280 or Radeon HD 4870 X2, (Windows only, don't work in OS X due to lack of EFI firmware).
ATI has optimized their Mac Edition drivers and firmware for the Radeon 2600 XT and 3870 so that they run Core Image effects much faster than comparable nVidia cards including the GeForce 8800 GT and Quadro FX 5600.

GPGPU will probably see more use in the future. Adobe plans to add such a feature to the next version for Windows ("*CS4 Stonehenge*") http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/37643/128/

New Mac Pro, AMD, Prem Pro CC & GPU Acceleration Issues

Hi,
I am not exactly what you would call an expert at Adobe Premiere Pro but I have been struggling to make a few exports over the last few days and yesterday discovered that the issue was about Premiere Pro not playing nicely with the AMD FirePro D500 installed.
With GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) turned on I get strobing and all sorts of glitchiness. Once it is turned off, everything works fine. The exports seems to take more than twice as long but they are perfect.
I have found very little about this online and nothing identically matched my experience.
Has anyone else had this? Have you found a work around?
Machine is nMP 3.5 Ghz 6-Core 64GB RAM with AMD FirePro D500.

Pr has been perfect on my new Mac Pro (D700s, but that shouldn't matter). Are you exporting direct from Pr or queuing to AME? If one, can you try the other and see if the same thing happens?
What are you exporting to?
Is OS X all up to date, I assume? And you're running the latest version of Pr CC?

GPU Acceleration for both FCP-X and Premiere? Anyone have NVIDIA GTX285 or NVIDIA QuadroFX 4800? ...and successful at using both editors with GPU Acceleration?

I'm in the market for a Laptop MAC solution to GPU accelerated editing. Because of multi-client workflow needs, I need to edit HD video with both FCP-X and ADOBE CS5.5 Premiere. The only GPU capable Graphics Cards that seem to satisfy both "camps" are from NVIDIA - GTX285 and NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800
Does anyone have these cards AND using both softwares AND having success at it?
I sure would appreciate any experienced advice with using NVIDIA GPU accelration with MacBook Pro especially!
Thanks,

How do you plan on using a PCIe card with a laptop? Via a Thunderbolt PCIe adapter? I can't help with that. In fact, I didn't think those adapters were even out yet.
I do have a Mac Pro and I use the NVDIA Quadro 4000 For Mac. This works great for Premiere Pro. As good as the 4800 and for less money. Check out this comparison.

How can I open a project that has been created with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration software, on my trial version of Premier Pro CC?

Hi,
I'm working with a colleague who is using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration software on his PC version of Premier Pro CC. I am using a mac and have a trial version of Premier Pro CC. When I try to open a project file that he has sent me I get an error message-
"Missing renderer: This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA), which is either not available or not certified on this system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used."
When I click OK and locate the files I get a message saying "File format not supported".
Can anyone tell me what to do so that we can share project files?
Many thanks,
Jessie

Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

Early 2009 MacPro with GTX 285 (Mac Edition) - Dual Monitor Setup

Hey Guys - I tried going through the forum to find this, and I think I see some common responses, but wanted to detail my question and make sure I have it right.
I have a MacPro (early 2009) with the EVGA GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition GPU. I replaced the GT120 that came with the MacPro. I was initially planning on attaching two monitors to the GTX 285, but I have heard rumors that for smoother performance, I should hook up the GT120 as well and hook up one monitor to that one.
However, I am reading posts regarding other configurations (4870 and GT120, etc), and it seems like there are different responses. Basically, I am looking for better performance for graphics demanding application (gaming, photo-edit, movie, etc).
Thanks for your time and responses ahead of time.

I'm so happy that you're soooo happy. If you were so so happy, I would be disappointed. Blessed? You honor me Japamac-san. I have not bestowed blessings in years, it must have been accidental. Well, I am getting old, there's a reason people move away from me on the subway. I'm glad you interpreted it that way.
Well, ok, the cats out of the bag. I do expect 10.6.2 to do something significant for this card. For gosh sake something has to one day justify this investment...
Both EVGA and Nvidia say it's all up to Apple.
Apple says,... well Apple never says anything,.. but since they sell it on their website one would think it was in their interest to do their best. It's really not nice to sell one card as a 200 dollar option, granted 350 by itself, and another for well over 400 that is only marginally better. It's like looking for a Ford, changing your mind for the Porsche, and ending up getting a Ford with a Porsche sticker on it. This card wails in Windows, how can Apple deny that performance to it's own OS?
While OS changes are incremental one doesn't necessarily expect that all things related to the industry will be. CUDA and Open CL are emerging technologies, but the 285 is real and out there. And it has been for quite some time now. Perhaps more honest marketing campaigns are needed, something like, "Here's the best video card for the Mac out there in existence, you'll just have to wait a few years to see that for yourself, maybe".
Nah, it's not right, you buy a product for what it is, not for what it could be. If it gets better over time that's great, but right from the start it should be worth the price. The 285 hasn't been that yet.
And we 285 owners waited for Snow, with all the talk of Apple's unleashing the power of the GPU. It came and the card ran slower. 10.6.1,... well at least the OS ran better. 10.6.2, well I can't say much about it, but if one can believe what they read, it looks like Apple is at least aware of certain things to be especially worked on. The question for me is to what degree they fine tune things. Can it really be as difficult to create a driver for Nvidia cards, unlike the drivers for ATIs which seem to work with such ease? It's almost like Apple and ATI are intrinsically bound somehow. For instance, with the 285 a new game like COD4 runs just perfectly for me with a 30" monitor, but another game under Rosetta runs not too well at all. Put the 4870 in and COD4 runs very well but not as good as the 285. The Rosetta game however runs great with the ATI. It's things like that I find to be very weird.
If the history of OS X has shown us anything
The history of anything only shows me we learn nothing from it. That's my biggest fear in this case, but I'm encouraged by what I hear.
Expecting 10.6.1 or even 10.6.2, .3, or even .4 to be perfect
That's an odd thing isn't it? How long would car companies last if they fine tuned their cars by analyzing how they failed and crashed for their customers on the road? "Yo, Edsel, I think we need a way to stop them once they're going".
Yet as much as we pay for our computers and equipment we realize that the companies are using us as their R&D Depts. It's an interesting cycle, we're sold things that don't work well, give feedback to make them work well, and next time we buy the better product and it starts all over again.
Well, it's been an interesting chat, full of sound and fury, signifying... well, probably something.

Windows GPU acceleration or Mac Pro 2013?

Illustrator 18 now has "Windows GPU acceleration" with an Adobe-certified NVIDIA graphics card. Based on NVIDIA technology called NV Path Rendering that is implemented as an extension to OpenGL. So, before I go out and by myself a PC. I would like to know how this compares to the Mac Pro offering Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPU's.
Currently the impression I get is that upgrading from my Mac Book Pro to a Mac Pro, may not be worth the investment. In particular, I occasionally use Final cut Pro and Maya so was looking at the 6 core or 8 core, but with the slower clock speeds and the current lake of multicore / multithreading in illustrator got me questioning the upgrade.
Anyone pointer appreciated?
Regards,

...gee, I thought I'd get a reply on this one.
Adobe - you there? What have you planned for the Mac pro / illustrator users.

How can I enable the GPU option on a new mac pro with 2 AMD D700 graphic cards?

I have recently purchased the new mac pro and I saw the GPU option is not enable and only recognizes the CPU one, what is frustrating. Does anybody know how to enable the GPU option?
thanks

See this for details of how the GPU is used in After Effects:
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/05/gpu-cuda-opengl-features-in-after-effects-cs6. html
Note that your card will be used for all of the GPU acceleration features but one---the ray-traced 3D renderer---which requires an Nvidia GPU. That is an obsolete feature that you don't need to worry about, anyway. There are many better alternatives to using 3D in After Effects, including Cinema 4D, which is now included with After Effects:

Gpu acceleration on win8.1pro with gtx770 not working

Hello All,
I have a pc installed with windows 8.1 pro, a GeForce gtx 770 with 4096 MB GDDR5, with the latest driver installed : 344.48
I am now on premiere 8.1.0(81) Build. but i have been using premiere in this machine since the first CC and the problem was the same.
I canot have gpu acceleration in premiere, the only option for video rendering is software only (it is greyed out and i can't change the option).
Now, from this adobe link :
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/system-requirements.html#Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) system requirements and language versions
My GPU should be supported.
Extra specs of pc:
MB: asus p9x79
cpu: 4930k
Ram: 64Gb
Hardrives: ssd for system and raid 0 of two WDred 4Tb
My question is, what can i do to pinpoint the problem? what can i do to make premiere use the gpu.

Hi all,
Thanks everyone for the help, just wanted to let you know that i finally got it WORKING! YEAH!!!
Long story short, re-installed windows carefully and without even installing the nvidia drivers it worked...
So what is wrong with all this? Before starting to rant, adobe wasn't even slightly in the problem equation, so thumbs up for adobe.
As i wrote above in another post, the first time that i installed this machine, i had some weird issues with windows 8.1, or so i thought that it was due to the new version of windows.
But the real problem came with the various software provided with Asus main-board and with the corsair cooler.
Although in win7 you could install everything without a problem, any software that came with the hardware that somehow was meant to control overclocking or fan speeds, would break windows 8 installation. I would get some TDR errors from windows(this means that some time the graphic driver would simply stop working and windows, attempting to restart it would give me some Blue screens of death!)
The solution:
First i updated the mother bios to the latest update, this is a process that should be done carefully due to it's possible outcomes.
Just as a side note, after backing up all my files, a time consuming job because of my 8Tb raid, you have to be careful updating the bios, because it will set your settings to default! that is the only way it could be done, and it is all good.
But if you have your sata controller set to raid as i do, so you can set up a raid disk, the default value in the bios is IDE! and if you restart your pc with this setting changed, it will break down your raid drive! so after updating your bios, your main concern should be entering the bios right away and put the sata controller in raid mode again. I had some raids destroyed in the past due to this simple switch of setting, and god luck after this to get it back. it is not impossible, but i never managed to do it.. the only thing that i could do after this was to get back my data with Testdisk. if you know what testdisk is, you know what i'm talking about.
Now, simply install windows 8.1 and only install drivers. If possible, as i did, with the latest drivers downloaded form the manufacturers site.
Then do ALL updates from windows, this takes a while, because there are updates that only show up for install after others updates, about an hour of update, download,update,download....
After that you will see, that through windows update, you will get nvidia driver, not the latest but surely the most recommended by windows and every thing should work corectly.
I then downloaded the latest nvidia driver, and installed it also, but i only installed the driver, by selecting custom installation and unchecking everything except for the nvidia driver.
And now, everything runs smoothly
I am a bit frustrated that, not one support from Microsoft, Nvidia or even Adobe, although adobe came closer that the others in helping me out, could tell me exactly what was wrong with my configuration.
I know this from the past but come on! you have to re install an OS to fix issues? Mac OS isn't perfect but it is a lot closer to it than windows 8. you can actually fix things instead of having to re-install everything.
What if all this big software companies could write a simple software for debuging? you know,
instead of asking if i have done all the steps for troubleshooting a problem, that i usualy have and this is why i'm contacting support to ask for extra help other than the one they're offering in troubleshooting guides.
A software that would run, and check these simple things, drivers versions, windows configurations, registry keys, software versions, conflicting IRQ's etc... and then, after having a good report of the situation, offer a good approach to resolve the solution.
Well, sorry for the long post, but maybe this will help others in similar situations.
Thanks again to all those who helped me.
Cheers!

Trouble with GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro CS6 (GTX 670)

I recently bought a new GTX 670 with the hopes that it would accelerate my video editing in Premiere. After using the "nVidia hack" to add it to the list of CUDA supported cards, I started up Premiere, enabled GPU acceleration in the general project preferences window, and was disappointed to find that my performance appeared to be identical to what I had experienced with my non compatible HD 6870s.
When I checked with MSI Afterburner, my GPU usage remained around 0%, even when playing through videos. I'm quite certain that my card was successfully added to the list, so I have no idea what's going on.
Is there any chance that I am misunderstanding what GPU acceleration is supposed to do? I'm very new to Premiere, so I don't know too much about it yet. The reason I bought my new card, aside from improved performance in 3D games, was to allow me to scrub through my project (comprised of 1080p AVI videos captured with FRAPS) without hiccups and poor FPS. Was this not a reasonable expectation for GPU rendering?
Here's a short list of my PC's specs if it's any help:
-Intel i5 2500k (currently not overclocked)
-8GB DDR3 Dual Channel RAM (at 1600MHz)
-1TB 7200RPM HDD
-nVidia GTX 670 OC 2GB VRAM
-Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Motherboard
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Did you go to project>project settings>general and verify that GPU (cuda) accleration is enabled? If it's set to software only then change it and see if that helps. If it's enabled my next question is what is the bitrate of your FRAPS videos? Because I have seen some fraps video's with bit-rates that are really high which would require a RAID array that is only holding video clips to playback smoothly. In your case it appears you have your OS and your apps and your footage all playing from the same 7200rpm drive. Which isn't really sufficent for 1080p editing. However it might be as simple as enabling it from within premiere pro like I mention earlier. If it's enabled though please check the bit-rate of your video you're attempting to edit with because I'm assuming that might be the issue.
