PPro CS5 not talking to NVidia Quadro 4000...

Apologies in advance if this has been covered a million times on here (and feel free to point me to a thread), but...I have a new Mac setup, Adobe PPro CS5, and the NVidia Quadro 4000 card with MPE/Cuda. And PPro is not using the GPU.
I do have the latest drivers (for the card and for CUDA). The card was installed a month ago and I grabbed the drivers at that time.
Recently I worked on a simple 7-minute non-HD video, with no effects and minimal editing...and the publish time was 7 minutes or so.
I was expecting faster. And while it was publishing, my computer's CPU gauge said it was running at around 90%. I made sure the PPro project setting pointed towards the card GPU.Obviously the MPE and/or CUDA is not kicking in.
I have spoken to PNY (where I bought the Nvidia card) and they said if I have the latest drivers and could actually see something on my screens, then the card is working and...you know...it must be a problem with the PPro aoftware.
Oh, the Mac is a 2010 model, 8-core with a ton of RAM on it.
Thoughts?

You are not understanding how the MPE engine works. The MPE engine does not lower the overall load of the CPU as far as usage. It lowers the instructions ie the types of code/threads it has to handle in a given time period. The CPU has to handle all of the Decoding/encoding of the codecs/ie material that you are using. It will also have to process any non accelerated effects. It also handles all memory management and interrupts that is required by the applications, machine code, and hardware. The GPU handles the scaling, interpolation, and some of the effects besides drawing and GUID code. The CPU has to process the Decode then cache the material to ram so it can cache over to the GPU card Ram for CUDA processing. Once threading is done via the GPU then it caches back to the system ram for the CPU to final encode and adjust further frame data for effects. All of this means the entire pipeline happens faster the more load the CPU can handle focused on specific functions and at what GHz those process through the system during a given time. So basically the MPE allows the system to process more work in a given time period simultaneously essentially. So the higher the load on your CPU the faster your entire workflow will process. In simple terms, this means you want the highest CPU load you can get because that means the GPU, system ram, disks, or board throughput is not slowing anything down. Your at 62%. That means your system somewhere in the pipeline is not allowing the cpu to run at max performance in that given time period. I hope that clarify's what you are seeing and why.
And yes, OS/Application threading and caching is also included in not allowing the CPU to run at max capacity.

Why doesn't Premiere Pro CC recognize my NVIDIA Quadro 4000?

Premiere Pro CC does not recognize my NVIDIA Quadro 4000. The previous version of Premiere did. Does anyone know why? I updated the driver for the Quadro 4000 with no change.

Hi markgern,
It should get recognized.
May i know which Operating system you are using including name and version. Do you have any pending update for premiere pro cc try install updates for premiere pro.

Problems with 10.8.3 and Nvidia Quadro 4000

Hi,
I have not been able to upgrade from 10.8.2 to 10.8.3 because it does not support my Nvidia Quadro 4000 for Mac. It crashes when I try to rotate an attached screen 90 degrees. It does not matter if the screen is attached to the DVI or the Display Port. Anyone else have this problem and is there a fix? I reported as a developer to Mac Developer forums with no answer and they also closed the ticket.

This problem has been solved by 10.8.4 update. So that is great news!
10.8.3 did not fix it so that is why I stayed on 10.8.2 until this latest one came out. Thanks Apple.

Nvidia Quadro 4000 not working properly

Hi all,
I am really hoping that some one can help me with a very frustrating issue with my new Mac Pro and Nvidia Quadro 4000 card.
I purchased my Mac Pro from an Apple store and added the Quadro 4000, I need that card as it is supported by Adobe Premiere CS5 to enable the GPU acceleration. The reason I went to the store to buy instead of online was to get advice about the card as I have not used a Mac for 5 years now. I was told that they are not familiar with the card, but put it in and run alongside the ATI card.
When it arrived I put it all together, except for the Quadro 4000, and it all worked perfectly. I have 2 x 27” Cinema Displays attached. I installed production studio CS5 and then extremely carefully added the Quadro card.
Without going on about all the drama with it not working with the ATI card and then removing that and installing only the Quadro, it is not doing what I bought it to do. Adobe is not recognising the device, I have updated to version 5.0.3 of Premiere Pro, which supports this card.
I think I know what the problem is, but I have no idea how to resolve it. I put the Quadro in and then installed the drivers. My research says this is wrong (there were no instructions in the box and the read me file on the disc just said I need a specific cuda driver), so I removed it, put the ATI in and hunted down all the Cuda (Quadro stuff) files, deleted them, reinstalled drivers and reinstalled the card. No change, it drives one display and Premiere still cant see it.
I have tried to find answers on the internet, Apple are not very helpful as it was a third party item they have no training on (although purchased from Apple).
The only thing I have read is it may need to be on OS 10.6.5, I updated to 10.6.6 and/or because I installed the card before drivers. I have read that I need to sort out ‘Permissions’ but can’t find out how.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really need to get this thing working as I have a very expensive computer I can not use.
Thanks
Phil
Oh, one other thing, it is supposed to run two displays, one via display port and the other via DVI, but I am having no joy here either, and there seems to be no DVI male to MDP female adapter????

You are making it (sounds like to me) harder than it is.
You do not mention which ATI card, but you should use both side by side unless you have the 5870 which is using the two pci 6-pin power connectors on it.
With Mac OS people generally never need to delete drivers by hand.
ATI 57x0 and Quadro work better together. Or even ATI 4870 and GTX 285 in the past. Use the ATI for monitors and Quadro for CUDA and Mercury.
FYI for Quadro 4000 Mac Owners upgrading to 10.6.6:
Included in today's 10.6.6 related apple docs is one noting new Quadro 4000 owners need to Reinstall the Nvidia Quadro driver update after updating to 10.6.6.
To save you a lot of clicks (the doc links to the nvidia product page) - here's the page with the current (as of this AM) Quadro OS X 10.6.5 Driver page which still shows the 11/16/2010 driver date/v256.01.00f03. But the file I downloaded this morning is named "Retail_256.01.00f03v5.dmg" (28.9MB) - dated Dec 17th. The file I downloaded back in mid-Nov does not have the "V5" in the filename and is larger (37.3MB). I don't own this card and not dug into the pkg to see what changed (i.e. did they remove the extra kexts for other models perhaps?) but just a FYI.

Reinstall the 10.6.6 combo update manually is sometimes a good idea (some of us use only combo updates when it comes time to update OS X).

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).

Nvidia quadro 4000 or 5000 in Mac Pro

Hello all,
I have this question that I already make to a sale advisor in a Mac store and he do not know what to answer and also I do it to a technical Mac sales agent and again nothing.
I do not own a Mac pro yet, I am looking to buy one becuase is the only system that can hold (in a stable way) both Mac OS X and Windows 7.
I am a professional working with 3D content creation, CAD design and digital video and I want to be able to do pro 3D content with Windows 7 and also working in pro videos in Mac OSX. The actual graphic cards for the Mac pro 2010 are intended for video games instead of professional production (this is the info posted in the AMD/ATI website when one do the search for Radeon 5770 and 5780, of course they can handle some 3d content but not as the latest generation of Nvidia cards)
My question is:
Can I use a Mac pro with one of those ATI cards installed in the 1st PCIe 2.0 16x port for the MAC OS X and then install a Nvidia Quadro 4000 or 5000 in the second PCIe 2.0 16x port for Windows 7? (given the fact that Nvidia do not have even beta drivers for Mac OS X for those types of cards yet)
Im thinking that I can use the Mac with the ATI and then when swiching to Windows (trough Boot Camp) using the Nvidia Quadro but I am not sure if this is possible and if installing another card will created probs. and if is posible how to relate each card to each OS.
I ask this before having the Mac becuase I am planing to make a huge inversion on it and I want to be sure about this. (The specs. will be 32gb ram, 512gb ssd, 3x2tb hdd, 2x2.93ghz6c xeons)
Thank you all and I will be pleased to heard any comments or suggestions.

The Quadro FX 5800 is launching at $3,499, and its spec sheet looks well furnished: 240 stream processors, fill rate of 52 billion texels per second, 128-bit precision, true 10-bit color support, 102GB/s memory bandwidth (which should translate to an 800MHz GDDR3 clock speed, if my math is right), and "interactive 4D modeling with time lapse capabilities." Nvidia says the Quadro FX 5800 should be well suited to applications like "oil and gas exploration, medical imaging, styling and design, and scientific visualization."

If you wanted to use nVidia's Quadro CX to speed up CS5, it is Windows only, and the Mac only has TWO 6-pin connectors. So even though Quadro 5800 power is under 200W there are no more aux power connectors. Though you can try to add a small 450W PSU for graphics 2 x 8-pin./2 x 6-pin) it gets messy running from the 2nd optical drive bay and tight fit-impossible for cables. Not designed for dual graphic card power.
The GTX 285 EVGA came out for Mac last year but drivers have been a problem with performance and a year later 10.6.4 and nVidia rushed to post a patch but there has been no word now that the GTX 285 went EOL. What's up with that?

NVidia Quadro 4000 First Impressions

I've seen some questions and some discussion regarding the nVidia Quadro 4000 card. Mine arrived yesterday, I figured I would share my initial experiences with it to help give others guidance so they can make the best decisions for their own needs.
First off, if your primary interest (or a significant interest) is playing games, than a Quadro card is not for you. nVidia's high end cards are fine-tuned on both a hardware and software (driver) level in the needs of pro apps and manipulating very large data sets. It happens at the expense of some performance stats that matter to gamers. Quadro cards aren't designed to get you a higher fps in your favorite shooter, they're designed to get you better performance with ray-tracing, real-time 3D environments, and scientific use. I'll leave you to surf to nVidia's web site for more marketing speak on that. In my initial tests, I found that to be completely true. I don't do much gaming, but the couple games I tested performed no faster than the GTX-285 I had in the machine before.
Attempting to run some more tests, I found that RealTech VR's OpenGL extensions viewer (which has some decidedly gamer-centric benchmarks) showed little to no improvement over the GTX-285 (as expected).
Running a few test renders in Cinema 4D, I found only about a 5-7% increase in performance. That might be due to immature drivers, but it may also be due to C4D renders being more about CPU mucle (Maxon doesn't have any specific CUDA-support or acceleration). What I did notice was that moving/camming around in the app was much improved. I couldn't say if that had to do with an extra gigabyte of vram, or if it was some kind of 'Fermi' magic (Fermi's the name of this generation chip technology from nVidia).
I have not yet gotten the chance to give Adobe CS5 (and specifically Premiere Pro and After Effects) a serious workout, though just playing around I noticed that the Quadro card had much more capacity for handling multiple layers of video in real time (I threw a dozen videos onto a main track in varying sizes of 'picture-in-picture' display, and arbitrarily adjusted the speed of some and color corrected others). It handled everything I could throw at it without appearing to break into a sweat, and I haven't yet had time to give it a proper performance test.
Being an early adopter, I have the expectation that on initial release there will be kinks and hiccups, and that as the drivers mature the performance will improve dramatically. Based on discussions with colleagues and what I've seen in reviews, this has been the case with both the GTX-285 and the Quadro FX 4800 card, and probably was also the case on older nVidia cards as well. The Quadro 4000 met those expectations - it feels like this is still a work in progress. The drivers (version 256.01.00f03) are stable (no crashes, no kernel panics, no horrible situations to speak of), but based on my early results I'd guess that they're not optimized for speed, either. On the Windows side, nVidia has driver version 259 available as a 'certified' release, and a higher performance version 260 available, and performance under Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) seems better. To be fair, the card's been on the market for PC's since late July, those drivers are more mature.
I still need to give the card a serious workout with Adobe CS5, but so far things look promising. Anecdotally, I've also noticed that system performance is greatly improved when I'm doing lots of multi-tasking. I often have several different apps running at once, and between the new technology and the additional video memory (my old card had 1GB, this has 2GB), I find I can juggle 20+ apps and dozens of Safari windows/tabs running without the Mac Pro batting an eyelash. That's hard to quantify in a specific benchmark, but it's very welcome considering the way I tend to work.
As the drivers improve, and as my own workflow evolves to make more use of larger datasets and more complex 3D scenes, I see the Quadro 4000 really starting to shine. Heavy-duty CUDA users may be happy to know that this card only requires a single additional power connection, which means that you can install two of these cards into a single Mac Pro (for a total of 512 CUDA cores). If you're doing big scientific work or working with CUDA-supported ray tracing (or other plugins), or doing extremely elaborate things with RED camera footage, that may likely be a game-changer for you. For me, it'll likely be quite some time before I outgrow what this card can do.

As I'd mentioned in another thread, the card began shipping last week. I expect that it will take a couple months before places like Apple and Amazon to dig through the large number of backorders they have (I don't think this card is produced in mass quantity, even on the PC side).
My system setup is a Mac Pro 8x2.26GHz, 32GB RAM, 8TB HD storage, nVidia Quadro 4000 2GB driving the primary display, and nVidia GT120 driving a secondary display. I'm considering getting third party power supply unit that sits in the second optical drive bay, and would plug into the Mac Pro's power supply, and then provide additional power supply connectors that would allow me to plug in my GTX-285 as a secondary graphics card (since it uses 2 connectors, and the Mac Pro only has 2 total).
Even when my machine was using a GTX-285 and the GT-120, I could see a difference in performance when dragging an application window (particularly if it's a 3D app) from main display to the secondary (the GT-120 is a significantly lower power card, with only 32 CUDA cores and 512MB video memory). With the Quadro driving my primary display the difference is much more noticeable now.
From what I understand, there are some technical issues with using ATI and nVidia GPU's in the same machine, so attempting to use with a 5770 may not work. But if you were able to use them together, it would make more sense to have the Quadro card driving your primary display, since it's likely going to perform as well or better than any other card you might be able to pair it with.
I've already given some thought to a second Quadro card down the road. As the drivers mature, and the apps I use evolve to make better use of CUDA and OpenCL, and my own workflow and skills improve to the point where I'm doing more 3D modeling/rendering (and stuff like ray-tracing), then having 2 of these cards in a single machine could really come in handy. Today it appears that all those CUDA cores and VRAM are serving to help make the apps faster and more responsive at design time, but rendering is still very CPU-centric. But tomorrow those apps will hopefully be able to tap into the GPU to help improve render times.

I need to connect my LED cinema display to nvidia quadro 4000 graphics card

I cant find any adapter to connect my "LED cinema display" to the brand new graphics card "nvidia quadro 4000 (for Mac pro)"
As i coldnt find any information since now, ihope someone can give me a hint.

They included the wrong DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter. The correct adapter should have a female Mini DisplayPort connector, not male. You could buy the correct adapter or you could add a F-F Mini DisplayPort coupler

Try calling the, and asking for the correct adapter. They fo say:
"Connect to mini-DisplayPort displays through the included adapter cable"

Nvidia quadro 4000 for mac and os 10.6.8 on After Effects CS6 (11.0.2) Cuda don't work

Hi,
We bought an Nvidia Quadro 4000 for Mac for use RayTrace on After Effects CS6 (11.0.2) with our Mac Pro 5.1 on OS 10.6.8.
And the Mac lost the Cuda driver when we restart it.
We use the Nvidia driver 256.02.25f01 for Mac Os 10.6.8 and we made test on different Cuda driver (4.1.25, 4.2.10, 5.0.37 and 5.0.47).
When we install Cuda driver and start directly After Effects 11.0.2 it’s works (after effects see the GPU processor).
But when we restart the Mac and try to launch After Effects, AE doesn’t see GPU processor and ask to install Cuda driver 4.0 or later.
Do you know this problem ?
Do you have a solution ?
Thanks.
And sorry for my English !

Hi All,
I'm having the exact same problem on 10.6.8 with a brand new Quadro 4000. My CUDA preferences are up to date, but After Effects CS6 is not seeing the card.
GPUSniffer gives me some really weird results, which I've included. Of particular note there is a repeated "just leaking" message, an "invalid drawable" and "Did not find any devices that support GPU computation."
Anyone have a fix for this? We just dropped a lot of money on this card so I could squeeze some more life out of this workstation (Mac Pro 4,1 dual quad 2.66 with 12GB RAM).

How to Install Nvidia Quadro 4000 in Dell R710

Hi All,
I have read a lot about installing the Nvidia Quadro PCIe x16 card in a Dell R710. I know what parts I need to order (Dell GP347 PCI-e Left Riser), but I do not know how to install the 6 pin power cable required by the Nvidia card. Where would I connect it to the Dell R710 motherboard? Is there a place to connect it? If not, is there some type of power supply I can hook the 6 pin Nvidia Power cable and provide power outside of the server? Any help would be appreciated.

This is a bit old now, but thought I would reply as I got this working and very happy with the performance!
In addition to the riser board I needed, there is NO way to provide the power the card needs without an EXTERNAL power supply. There is a really small box listed on Newegg called "ePOWER EP-450CD 450W ATX12V/EPS12V Modular Juice Box-Dedicated Graphics Card and CPU Power supply". Buy it and run the GPU power cable from an empty PCI slot out the back of the Dell Server.
I also purchased NVidia Quadro 4000 2 GB GDDR5 PCIe video cards for each of my ESXi 5.5 servers. Also, I left my built-in video graphic card enabled and it is still primary for my Hypervisor.
Download and install the NVidia ESXi drivers from their website and follow the directions to install them. Reboot.
I use sVGA with my Horizon Desktops and downloaded a trial version of Sketch-Up to test 3D. They have a community of users who post 3D renderings and you can download one directly from the Sketch-up Program. Cruise around and check the performance.
As a side note, I noticed IE worked way worse by using the GPU when Browsing the internet. Go to Advanced Settings in IE, and the top option states "Use software rendering instead of GPU". Making that change makes IE work as expected.

What is better : Nvidia Quadro 4000 or Nvidia GeForce Titan ?

Good morning,
Right now, I use Premiere Pro CS 6 with the GPU Nvidia GTX 570, but I guess that it might be better to replace my actual GPU by Nvidia Quadro 4000. Is this a good idea or not ?
Many thanks in advance.

the encoding of pictures with some effects (zoom, pan, transparency), the encoding time is very long, even with Mercury enable, and I whish to shorten it.
Encoding is a CPU/memory task, not a CUDA task. The video card does not come into the picture at all for encoding.
What can help reducing encoding times is tuning the system, increasing memory to 24 GB and overclocking.
What will help tremenduously is adding at least two disks/volumes to your arsenal. Only a single volume (raid10) is simply not enough.
As to the system being balanced, IMO the disk setup is not enough with a single volume, the memory can be improved by going to 24 GB and the video card is already more than enough. No sense in spending anymore on that.
Did you run the PPBM5 Benchmark ?

NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 for MAC---Issues with Adobe Premeire

Hello,
Mac Pro (Tower)
*OS 10.7.5
*2.8 GHx Quad-Core Intel Xeon
*16 GB RAM
I've had a multitude of issues with Adobe Premiere on this system and I'm not sure what to attribute it to. First of all: I have two MAC Book Pro's that run APremiere, with similiar specs and only 8GB of RAM. These two laptops run APremiere flawlessly and it's because of this reason that I can deduce, that my 'tower' is having issues because of the NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 installed; it's the only difference, besides the RAM, that the computers have. Has anyone had issues using the NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 before? Some of the issues I've been having are (please note, these issues are random, happen at random times and on random projects. The majority of the footage I use is MOV (from DSLR cameras) and MP4's (from a Sony EX-1)):
*Renders crashing
*Slow clip playback
*An oddity: certain MP4 files will go out of sync-on playback from APremiere and even in a VLC player
*AMedia Encoder crashes
Maybe the NVIDIA has nothing to do with it?
Thanks for your time and help.

Maybe the NVIDIA has nothing to do with it?
One way to accrue evidence would be to turn off Mercury Playback in the Project Settings.
I have that card, and turning of MPE often gets me through a session. Some here have claimed that the card is the cause of the frequent Serious Errors, and disabling it is the solution.
That's hardly satisfactory when one of the best features of Pr is the ability to use CUDA.
However, anything going through the card also has to pass through Pr and the OS. Adobe claims that updating to 10.8 fixes some bugs, but according to some here (myself included), not enough.
I had one project recently that I couldn't get the Serious Errors to stop until I re-installed the nVidia driver.
But, your list of problems could be due to corrupt Pr preferences. If you have a Mac, you need to get used to refreshing your prefs several times a day. They could also be corrupt media. That will cause renders to crash.

Nvidia Quadro 4000 is Freezing / shutting down / Buggy with Mac Pro 2009

I currently have two Nvidia Quadro 4000 mac cards and there causing my Mac Pro 2009 machine to kernel Panic and freeze or shutdown my machine.
I dropped it off at the Apple store for them to diagnose the problem for 9 days and they went ahead and confirmed that it was the card which was causing the problem.
NVIDIA PLEASE UPDATE YOUR DRIVERS FOR THIS CARD FOR MAC.
Its ridicules that if you spend $1200 (apple store) that it will crap out your Mac Pro. I'm waiting for a updated driver in order to test the stability with the Mac Pro
I'm almost 100% sure I did the 10.6.6 update with the stock card, then installed the most updated drivers from Nvidia website and then installed the Cuda Drivers, then finally installing the Video card in the machine. After two days, system was acting up.
Once I get my machine back from Apple tomorrow, I will go ahead and give it one more last try to see if it works. I'm mean the cards are amazing with Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder (super fast), but at the cost that your machine will be very buggy.
Lets wait and see what Apple, Nvidia or PNY will do about the big problem. I'm wanting to keep these babies, so make some moves people and fix the issues for the Professionals.

I hadn't been experiencing the problems you have, but I have been having issues, and yes it absolutely is a case of immature drivers. When the card was released in December, nVidia merely did a simple patch job on the 256.01.00f03 driver that shipped with 10.6.5 rather than include an optimized driver that was comparable to the 259.x driver available on the Windows platform at the time.
Since then, nVidia's engineers have been hard at work doing what appears to be nothing for the Mac. On the Windows side, the Quadro drivers have progressed to 267.11. Rather than provide Apple with updated drivers to include with 10.6.6 or this week's 10.6.7 release, they chose to sit back and wait for the 10.6.7 release and then release their own update.
After 4 months, their best and brightest have brought us <drumroll> driver version 256.01.00f03. To be fair, they changed it from "v5" (the patch job to enable Quadro 4000 compatibility) to "v6". The idea was that it would add compatibility for the Quadro 4000 running under 10.6.7, Sadly for nVidia's Quadro engineers, that driver's installer didn't actually work. It took them nearly a full day to fix that, finally releasing 256.01.00f03v7. As expected, there are no improvements in either performance or stability. In fact, what happened to me is that the new driver actually broke compatibility with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5's Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration feature.
Fortunately, I still had my GTX-285 card available, and this evening I pulled the Quadro and re-installed the older GTX card. I really wish nVidia would care enough to release a solid driver update, I really want to like the Quadro 4000. On paper the potential for video production and OpenGL rendering performance should be huge.

PPro CS5 not talking to NVidia Quadro 4000...
