Quadro?

Hello, Im a professional videographer, as well as an independent filmmaker. I am writing because i am about to purchase a few of the new Apple Mac Pro's for my studio and i am contemplating buying the Quadro fx 5600 with the machines. I work with Final Cut Studio extensively (i.e. Final Cut Pro, Motion, Color, Compressor). Also, i work with Maya and Shake part-time. I am wondering about the amount of GPU power that the Quadro 5600 will bring me in my applications; mostly rendering, compressing, and encoding Uncompressed HD. Im working with DVC PRO HD mostly, cameras with genlock and i do all my professional work in Final Cut Studio (with some Shake and Maya) and previously Adobe Premier and After Effects. What i am looking for is speed, reliability, and quality out of these machines. Is the Quadro fx 5600 going to give me exceptional performance increases in render speed, RAM consumption, and effects work? If so, in my situation would it be smart to choose this card over a lower-end "gaming card" like the Geforce 8800GT? I figure looking at benchmarks, opinions and forums on mediocre sites is wasting my time, so a professional could assist me with the issue at hand. Thank you for your time.

Check out the benchmarks and comments in one of the articles.

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT vs. NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M?

I just have a PC vs. Mac question, as I am looking at the new MacBook Pros. Which of the following NVIDIA processors is the best for intense graphic applications? Why does Mac only have 1 option, and is it superior to the PC options?
PC
NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M
NVIDIA QUADRO NVS 140M
Mac
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
Many thanks!

what do you want to do with such devices, work, play, and specifically which software?
usability is often ignored by people who get swayed by paper-based specs, and it is important to know what you are going to do with a machine before making up your mind, not just which processor and hardware has a .01 percent coolness factor above the other.
I am somewhat biased, for I have developed an intense distrust, disenchantment, and pretty much an aversion to what you would call "PC" software and OSes. Twenty years of DOS and Windows have left me no fond memory, if not for the fact that I know how to fix a lot of software and hardware problems (you learn when you are constantly confronted to problems, and problems abound in the world of Windows).
A Macbook Pro is a beautiful machine, and it is hassle free a good 90%+ of the time, you can install Windows if you must anyhow, but Apple doesn't sell for cheap. Mind you, most high-end PCs do not cost much less anyhow, just the low end ones.
The 8600M GT card supports DirectX 10, can play even Crysis on a 32-bit Windows version very well (I play it from time to time, beautiful), but it isn't a 8800 card, nor is it the best card in all of laptop PCs. I do consider the Macbook Pro a desktop replacement, and I have very intensive use of my machine (scientific software for academics and industry, video games, multimedia, you name it).
So if you must play the latest game, and I mean the latest, with the highest frame-per-second count of all your friends, don't go for a 8600M GT, (ii) for a laptop anyways (laptop were never, never meant to compete with desktop-grade hardware, no matter what you local wise arses will tell you), and (iii) buy a console instead. BUT, if you want to play most games, very well, and you are concerned with media editing, usability, stability, reliability, etc., a Macbook Pro is a beautiful thing to have...

Kernel Panic Nvidia Quadro Pro 4000 CC14 MAC PRO 10.9.4 mavericks

I get kernels panics constantly when using CC14 lightroom and photoshop.. And this is causing me to loose thousands of dollars. I have searched for months have lost thousands of dollars in work, have trued to contact support only to be sent to community forums which i get no response...o
THEREFORE.....
Allow me to waste more time by contacting this unresponsive company.
i constantly get Kernel Panics when using CC14 associated with my NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2048 while using cc14 photoshop and lightroom since I updated to Maverick 10.9.4.
I have been searching for fixes for months, i have updated everything, every driver, and this has costed me THOUSANDS of dollars in pay i am unable to receive because my %^&* computer keeps crashing.
Now i am pissed! I have consulted APPLE and even after pushing me up to the top level. they still read off a piece of paper. ! i just wanted to go back to osx before mavericks which i was having NO ISSUES but no one seem to have a clue at apple how to even turn one on.
1. i am NOT doing a master restore and I NEVER had a problem before Mavericks and CC14!!!
2. Every driver is updated every firmware is updated
3. there is NOTHING RUNNING IN HTE BACKGROUND
4. i did an smc and reset pram
5. ran disk utility -- no problems
6. searched for answers for months.
7. and by the way..... photoshop cc14 does not save your work on a crash. it saves what you already saved
I AM TIRED OF WASTING MY TIME TRYING TO GET ANSWERS WHEN I ONLY GET IGNORED.
this is an issue with my nvidia quadro pro 4000 video card and -- adobe and - mavericks.
MY system is high end, mac pro 5,1 Processor 2 x 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Late 2010 20 gig ram, quadro pro 4000 and an APPLE SSD TS512B
solid state
and i spent 10 gran on this system. I am a professional and this is my BUSINESS... my only income. not a kid playing games.
The video card was over a 1000.00! Nvidia? ADOBE?
This needs to be fixed. this is my livelihood

Thanks for responding....of course I mean adobe. A community forum is NOT a company.
I read the link to the thread and this person says an application CANNOT cause kernel panics -- well Apple begs to differ. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14063
I have my own photography studio, ive spent over a half million dollars on my education (2 masters degrees) my equipment, and traveling the world to various workshops. I spend some evening researching new technology to stay on top of my craft but what I dont do and dont have time to do is follow forums regularly.
Therefore i dont know that this person has repeatedly said the same thing over and over in different threads about applications causing KP.
You suggested that I take my trouble shooting somewhere else...trust me this is not the first place ive tried to get answer.s I have been trying to resolve this issue since i updated to 10.9.4 and CC 14 and Nvidia Quadro pro 4000. It has been months of phone calls research, forums, talking to anyone i know that knows anything and I have lost thousands of dollars. My digital lab ran perfect before the updates.
so......
First...I DISAGREE with the guy in the thread because what he wrote is just his opinion. It doesnt matter wjho he works for, it a person converses a fact with NO REFERENCES then it looses credibility. I always include a reference when I make a statement to anyone
second: as i said in my discussion -- i have done everything and the only time i get kernel panics is when using photoshop - nothing else running in the background, and the issue is with the video card drivers , 10.9.4 and photoshop and lightroom CC14.
lastly; I know my video card is fine because Ive had photoshoots where i tethered (as I alwasy do) to Phocus software for my Hasselblad H4d and there is never a crash or kernel panic issue. ever.
I ONLY GET KERNEL PANICS WHEN I USE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP OR LIGHTROOM CC14 AND IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED SINCE I UPDATED TO 10.9.4 AND CC14
apple told me to do a restore -- they were just reading me what they were supposed to say.

Problem with CS6 and Quadro FX 4500

I have 2 Quadro FX 4500 cards; 1 driving dual displays and the other driving a Cintiq 21 UX. Both cards have 512MB RAM operating under Win 7 with 16BG RAM.
Premiere, AE and Phtoshop CS6 see them as incompatible in one way or another even with the latest Nvidia driver: 296.7 which according to the driver specs added CUDA support OGL 4.2 etc...
Premiere: Murcury Playback Software Only
AE: GPU not available - incompatible device or display driver
Photoshop (both 64 and 32 bit ver): Gives message the GPU in not officially supported, does not allow more than Basic support and crashes when loading any image. Nevertheless the 4000 series is indicated as supported and the cards have the necessary RAM
I've added the graphics card to the raytracer_supported_cards.txt file in AE and the cuda_supported_cards.txt file in Premiere. I could not find any similar txt file for Photoshop if there is one. None of these solutions have fixed the issue.
I was able to get everything working when using CS5.5; any help would be greatly appreciated.

>Both cards have 512MB RAM
Not enough ram for CUDA operation in Premiere Pro... Also, having 2 cards will sometimes cause problems

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 4500 for mac and pc question

I am thinking of purchasing a new Mac Pro 3.0GHz Quad-Core desktop with the nVidia Quadro 4500 graphics card. I want to run Solidworks on Windows XP SP2 and also be able to boot into Mac OS X. I have done hours of research trying to make sure it will work but can't seem to find any posts that suggest my system will work as I intend.
I have found out that the nVidia Quadro 4500 needs to configured for the mac (firmware) and that you just can't buy one from eBay and install it. There are PC versions and Mac versions. Also, flashing it to work with a mac is very difficult and may damage the card if you get it wrong. Not something I want to do.
So, my question is: If I buy this Mac Pro from Apple with the nVidia Quadro 4500 card already installed, will I have any problems with it working on the window side of things when I boot into Windows XP? Does anyone have the setup that I am talking about and also running SolidWorks on the Windows side?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Yee Ha!

Hi,
Mac OS X Leopard has Boot Camp included with the software. I have read online (Apple site amongst others) the BootCamp bundled with Leopard has all the drivers for Windows included, so you no longer need to create a disc with the drivers needed for Windows (as you did under the BootCamp beta version).
That being the case, Leopard should have the required drivers for your Quadro FX 4500 to function under Windows.
See here for details:
http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/features/bootcamp.html
Hope this helps

Only the suggestion I heard from HP customer support is change the graphic card w/ PCIe 3.0 support.
I believe PCI slot should be backward compatible w/ 2.0 version.
Does it really matter install PCIe2.0 graphic board on 3.0 slot?
My ohter option is AMD FirePRo V4900, which is one of the certified graphic card for the Autodesk.
However, I'm not sure wether it works with this machine.

Hello masterqueue.
This desktop was a CTO (Configured-to-Order) model. As such, there is a lot of information I do not know about the machine. Most importantly, how large is the power supply? According to the computer's specification page it could have anywhere from a 300 watt to a 600 watt power supply. That is a very big difference.
I'll keep an eye out for your response. Have a great day.
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

I need to know if ECC ram in a HPZ1 is compatible with Quadro 500M, 1000M, 2000M video cards

hello,
i purchased a refurbished hpz1 a year ago, equipped with a Quadro 500M and 16 GB of ECC ram. The cpu is a Xeon e3 1245 v2.
I have lots of trouble trying to use this workstation with certain graphics programs, like Sketchup 2013 and 2014, as well as rendering programs. Anything from program freezing/shutting down shortly after opening to locking up the machine midstream. Yes, I have updated video drivers, several times, but still plagued with the same problem. Not all the time, but frequently.
In shopping for upgrades to the 500M card (like 3000M, perhaps) I have come across video card vendors that specifically mention these older Quadro cards are NOT compatible with ECC ram. I have brought this to the attention of the workstation vendor, IT Creations, in California, and they claim to never hearing of this issue.
I have spent dozens of futile hours over the past year dealing with system instability, issues like bootup screens informing me the ram system chip count has (erroneously) changed, requiring immediate shutdown and booting back up to override the message.
Is it true? CAN or SHOULD ECC ram be used with earlier Quadro cards using MXM3.0?

External Lacie D2 Quadro Drive will no longer mount on iMac.

Hi all,
I'm running an Intel iMac on Snow Leopard, maybe 18 months old.
I've had my Lacie drive (D2 Quadro) for maybe 3 years or so and it has never once caused me any problems.
Lastnight, I accidentally didn't eject the Lacie drive properly before connecting it to my Powerbook.
Since then, the Lacie drive shows up fine on my Powerbook and all files and folders are present, but when I plug it back into my iMac it doesn't mount anymore - the iMac won't recognise it.
I've tried the following to fix the problem:
- tried and tested both Fire-wire ports (both fine)
- tried to disk repair via Disk Utility but the drive is greyed out so won't allow me to verify or repair.
- Ran Disk Utility via Snow Leopard disc on startup, but it's also greyed out.
- Ran Disk Utility by connecting Lacie to Powerbook instead. It verifies and repairs it, saying everything is fine - still won't show on iMac.
- Left the drive unplugged (power and fire-wires) overnight. Plugged in this morning and it's still the same.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,

OK, Let's wait until you get the chance to do the SMC reset then we can try some other steps. The following instructions will be in the SMC reset instructions I sent earlier but I wanted to point them out because the instructions does cover multiple Mac models and some have different processes.
1. Shut down the computer. Make sure you quit all applications prior to shutting down.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Attach the computers power cable.
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Understated,
Sounds like you are in Canada.
Skip MSI; they have not been getting much of a reputation for solid, reliable, laptops for video editing.
Asus is selling rock-bottom priced laptops if you really need to cut cost to the bone.
My first choice recommendation would be to go with an ADK laptop. They are a audio/video editing centric company that has excellent laptops (Sager / Cleo platform) and excellent support for pretty decent prices on high-spec configurations. Unlike the HP/Dell laptops, their 15.6" 1980x1080 has expansion for multiple drives while retaining your optical bay.
HP and Dell are OK too, but more expensive for fully loaded configurations. Both companies provide a really nice base model, but then charge a lot for adding memory, drives, etc.
Dell provides really decent CPU choices, but you need to go to the "large business" section of their web site to see those CPU choices for the M4700.
If you go HP or Dell, get a newmodeus.com optical bay drive caddy to put a 2nd internal drive in your system. Buy the HP or Dell, then move the HD to the optical bay and buy a large SSD for OS, programs, and scratch/cache.
Regards,
Jim

W520 nvidia quadro power consumption

Dear community, I have a short question about power consumption. I did a clean install of windows 7 64bit on my W520 with a quadro 2000. Power consumption when idle with max brightness is somewhere at 18 watt, definitely highter than what I had with the Lenovo default installation. Checking Lenovo's energy software indicates that the GPU is running at full speed all the time so I thought this could be a source of additional power consumption. I installed the latest Lenovo graphics driver from the homepage, but I'm not sure if thats enough. Maybe there is a problem with Nvidias Optimus technology or the switchable graphics? I'd be glad about any feedback and, yes, I know that I'm a little bit on my own with a clean install. :-) Thanks, Branagh

I get these numbers from the basic view. The battery tab does not indicate power consumption when I have the power chord connected. If I'm on battery the wattage numbers match.
But the result remains the same no matter if I'm on battery or plugged, or what power settings I use (setting the display to max brightness and the machine idling): If I force the laptop to be on the Nvidia graphics, power consumption is at arond 18W, if I allow it to use the intel graphics, it goes up to at least 20W. GPU load in the power manager is always given at 100%.
GPU-Z gives more adequate numbers I guess. When I force the Nvidia GPU, the load is correctly displayed at 0% when idle and the core clock goes down to 50Mhz. When I use the intel graphics the load remains at 1% and the core/ram clocks remain at 650 / 533 Mhz all the time.

Update of photoshop CC - trouble with NVIDIA Quadro 1000M display driver. PS freezes

Hey guys,
Since today I've got trouble with my PS CC.
I've updated PS CC yesterday 2014-12-12.
I was doing some drawings today and two times PS freezes during switching layers of or selecting a mask.
A message appeared that there was trouble with the display driver an PS switched off the GPU support because of that issue.
Ok, I thought let's update the display driver and so I've done today. I switched to actual NVIDIA display driver version 314.21
I'm working with an NVIDIA Quadro 1000M on a DELL mobile Workstation Precision M4600 with 8 GB RAM.
Now when I start up PS and press alt+k, my 2 displays showing a black screen for 1-2 seconds.
After closing the general setup window again black screen for 1-2 sec and the top menu bar is showing no entries.
When I move the mouse pointer over the bar, the menus appear again. But the bar is like transparent at the parts where no menues are.
When I unlock the window from the screen an put it back fitting to the screen everything looks like normal.
Till today I hadn't any problem with my notebook in that kind of way.
Maybe someone has or had similar problems.
Would be nice if someone can help me.
thanks

Oh, that sounds very bad. It's not that bad for me. It's not crashing that often at the moment, only black screens at start up or if setting dialog is opened. But I will see tomorrow how often it will crash, during today it crashed 2 times when doing some ridiculous simple actions like switchid to another layer and the other time when trying to edit an mask layer. I will contact the support chat on monday regarding this issue. Maybe there is a solution or an update soon... I keep may fingers crossed for you.

Problem with NVidia Quadro FX 4000 on MSI K8T Master2-Far

Hello everyone, I am new to the forums here. I cannot figure out what is causing my problem.
I have been having performance issues with my new Quadro FX 4000 on my system. I have been in communication with Nvidia tech support for a while now. Here is the discussion I have been having with them. It explains my problem in detail. Be sure to read it from bottom to top though.
*Update*
I have a feeling that my PSU might be causing the low performance, seeing that the Quadro requires two power connectors to attach to it: (http://www.pny.com/support/quadro/install/FX4000AdditionalPowerRequirements.pdf)
Here is my PSU:

I do not know much about PSU's, so any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Response (GL)
Pat,
I have checked the NVBug Database and although there has been Bugs submitted where a MSI Master2-Far motherboard was used, none of the issues were caused by the motherboard. They just happened to have a MSI Master2-Far motherboard.
We have seen conflicts when both ATI and NVIDIA drivers are both installed, but I would hope that the Driver Cleaner software removed the lines in the registry as well.
Did you try the FX4000 in the other system (the one that had the MX 440) ?
I believe you are taking to right steps in resolving this issue.
Looking at the Windows Error Reporting, it seems you have had some app problems.
Looking forward in hearing your results
Best regards,
NVIDIA Customer Care.
Customer (Pat Miller) 02/07/2007 12:19 AM
OK I completed my tests and got some interesting results.
-I installed the GeForce Mx 440 on my computer and it yielded similar poor performance just like the Quadro did (terrible window scrolling, stuttering, horrible gaming).
-I then installed the Quadro on the computer I yanked the Geforce MX 440 from. I installed the most recent drivers, and it worked WONDERFULLY. There was no stuttering, no lagging, and Open GL gaming seemed even better than the MX 440 (I know the Quadro is not designed for gaming, but some Open GL counter-strike served as a nice little test.) Unfortunately, that computer does not have Adobe Premiere or any high-end applications for me to really test the card with.
-After those two tests, I uninstalled the MX 440 from my computer and re-installed its ORIGINAL ATI 9600 SE. It worked just like it did before I first received the Quadro. No window lagging, no stuttering, and adequate gaming.
All of these test yield a few conclusions to me:
1. The Quadro FX 4000 card is not defective, it does indeed work.
2. My computer seems to dislike Nvidia cards and/or drivers (seeing as the Quadro and GeForce gave me terrible results while the ATI worked fine.)
It would seem to be a driver issue, almost like my original ATI driver files are still running. That would explain everything. However, I completely removed the ATI driver AND ran Driver Cleaner to clear all ATI files from my system before attempting to install the Nvidia card.
I cannot think of a reason for these inconsistencies. Tomorrow I plan on preparing to completely crash my computer. Backup my files and completely format my HD's and reinstalled Windows XP Pro, my Mobo software, all drivers, ect.
I will await any ideas or suggestions before I format my computer. I hope these tests along with my system info helps. Thank you very much.
Customer (Pat Miller) 02/06/2007 07:51 PM
Ok,
Here is my system info. I realize that the Quadro FX 4000 has a conflicting IRQ with my onboard gigabyte ethernet, but my old ATI card was the same way, and it never caused a problem. Also, I am unsure how to fix that anyways. Hopefully this info helps us determine the problem.
I am going to try a few tests of my own. I am going to install a GeForce MX 440 AGP card(from my other computer) and see how it performs. Then I will try re-installing my old ATI 9600SE card. If I get similar low performance, than it must be something else besides the card. Otherwise, the card is the issue.
Thanks for the help.
Response (GL) 02/06/2007 12:15 PM
Pat,
Maybe the system info will shed some light.
Please perform the following steps:
1) Click on the Start button
2) Select Run
3) In the Open field, type in "msinfo32" and then press the OK button
4) This will bring up the Microsoft System Information Utility.
Click on File and then Save to save this information to your hard drive. You may give it any name you choose.
5) Once the file has been saved on your hard drive, attach it to this support request so that we may review your system configuration.
Looking forward for your response.

I completely uninstalled my old ATI and Nvidia drivers. I went into safe mode and ran Driver Cleaner also. I freshly installed the new Nvidia driver and I still have low performance.
I am trying to download Viewperf, but it is downloading at about 30k/s, which will take about a day to finish. What else could be causing this? It is possible its a bad card? I got it new on Ebay from a legitimate seller, but it came with the card only.

Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care
There should not be any performance drop browsing the internet or moving windows across screens.
Since you did have an ATI card installed, you may want to verify that all files have been removed.
This also includes the registry since there are applications known to leave files behind.
Once all ATI files have been removed, please run a benchmark software such as ViewPerf.
Viewperf 9.03 can be found on the following location:

I recently upgraded to a Quadro FX 4000. I do a lot of video editing on Premiere, and from what I read, it seemed like the best card to get. However, I am getting very poor performance with this card. For example, just browing the internet and moving windows around yields a very stuttery picture. And I do not notice any different using Premiere.
I uninstalled my old video card (ATI 9600 SE) and uninstalled the drivers for it as well.
I have tried 3 different versions of drivers for the Quadro 4000, including the most recent.
I have checked the power connections, and the card is receiving power on both the ports.
I really have no idea what could be causing this bad performance. Is this how the card works? Did my ATI 9600SE yield better performance for internet browsing than this card does? The only thing I can think of is that the card is not getting enough power because it connects to 2 seperate power cables from the PSU which already power lots of other things (HD's, Disk Drives, Fans).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Here at my system specs:
Custom built PC
MSI Master2-Far Mobo
2x AMD Opteron 244
2G Transcend DDR 333 Registered Ram(1 stick)
2x WD 74G Raptors (RAID 0)
1x Maxtor 250G
2x DVD burner
1x DVD Rom
Quadro FX 4000 AGP
*Update*
I have a feeling that my PSU might be causing the low performance, seeing that the Quadro requires two power connectors to attach to it: (http://www.pny.com/support/quadro/install/FX4000AdditionalPowerRequirements.pdf)
Here is my PSU:

I do not know much about PSU's, so any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

your PSU is good one and should be powerfull enough.
Output +3.3V@28A, +5V@30A, +12V@34A, [email protected], [email protected], +5VSB@2A
can't be power related, since at 1st your PSU must be enough, 2nd same issue happend with your old mx 440 VGA. card malfunction are dismissed as possibility as well since its work fine in another machine.
think its drivers mess. ATI drivers(or part of them) still exist, guess is not completely removed. same symptoms happend many times when switching between Ati to NV, lagging 2D scrolling lag and etc, caused by ATI Smart (part of ATI Drivers) sometimes remain(survive after driver cleaner).
suggest you a new clean fresh OS installation. like Nv support already directed. also ensure in BIOS, in "Integrated Peripherals", "Init Display First" are configured to AGP.
let we know how its going, if problem persist we a ready with a tips to resolve your issue.

Driver please! NVidia Quadro NVS 140M Windows 7 64-bit

Installed Windows 7 RTM (Professional, x64) on my T61. Surprise! There's no driver for my NVidia Quadro NVS 140M, and I can't install the one that I downloaded from NVidia. I'm stuck in 1024x768. Ouch!
What's the plan, Stan?
If there are any driver hackers out there who could help me install NVidia's driver, please speak up.

I'm running now using the NVidia-provided driver for Windows 7 x64. I was able to install it by running the installer in Vista compatibility mode.
For Windows 7 newbies, the specific steps are:
* Download the installer (186.81_notebook_win7_winvista_64bit_international_whql.exe)
* Run this file to extract the files to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO
* For the two files nvudisp.exe and setup.exe in C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO, do the following:
* Right-click the file, select Properties.
* Click the Compatibility tab
* Check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" Select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
* Click OK.
Then double-click setup.exe to run it.
So far this is working for me.

Using High-end Windows 8.1 system with Quadro Card and CC2014 fails on many levels. Help!!

I produce TV spots daily and and I can not afford so many failures. CC2014 is the worst experience for us and we have several systems that prove it's not our hardware.
-Crashes repeatedly (and most times can not be replicated)
-Freezes when queuing to media encoder
-Rendered media has variable results and sometimes has no audio (or the audio is partially there). Have to reboot to correct.
-Sporadic timeline behavior with audio playback being intermittent
-Useless clip syncing function using audio tracks
-Clip movement is frozen and cannot be moved until it's de-selected or the system has to be restarted
-Project bin behavior sends clips and text to the wrong folder.
-All the above happens when Cuda card is turn on or off.
-Some operations can not returned to normal unless we cold boot
-Just found out that the audio filter DeNoiser does not render out entirely, you can hear mid way the clip when it kicks in
I originally paid for my monthly subscription because CC first came out as an improvement to earlier version, and was very stable. Now I'm wonder why I'm wasting my money. Don't get me wrong, I like where adobe is heading but they need to address the problem or offer a discount. I'd rather they fix EVERYTHING!

Hi,
Try to boot from win PE, please verify disk status, make sure partitions, files applied successfully.
Please also check boot files.
In addition, is the machine under UEFI mode?

Mac Pro 3.1 (early 2008) and nVIDIA Quadro FX5600

Hi all,
I am triying to install nVIDIA Quadro FX5600 on a Mac Pro 3.1 (early 2008).
Well, indeed I have been using this graphics card in this computer already, however, a few hours after installing the card, I updated the Mac OS, and there began the problems.
Characteristics:
-Mac Pro 3.1 (early 2008)
-2 x 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
-12GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics cards:
-slot 1: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
-slot 2: nVIDIA Quadro FX5600
The story is a little bit long, however I think it is important to give the maximum information:
1-I purchased the nVIDIA Quadro FX5600, and took the computer and the card to an apple reseller to install it.
2-They installedit, physically, in slot 2, and left in slot 1 the ATI Radeon, the card included in the computer when I purchased it.
3-They told me that after installing the drivers in Mac OS 10.10.2, when restarting the computer after installing, they had kernel panic problems.
4-They installed the card in another Mac computer with Mac OS 10.9.5 to check if the card was compatible with Mac, and it worked perfectly.
5-And finally, "they say", that they repeated the same operation than in point 2 and 3, also in my computer, and this time they didn't have kernel panic problems. So I took the computer at home, ready to use my new graphics card
6-When I arrived at home, I worked about 4/5 hours with the computer, and before ending the day and closing the computer, I installed two Mac updates. One of them was a security update and the other one an iMovie update. The first one worked, however the iMovie one didn't, it gave an error. I decided to give no importance and close the app store.
7-Just after closing the app store, it appeared a message from nVidia controller, saying that there was a new update. So I install it, and once installed, it recommended to restart the computer, so I restarted.
8-When the computer restarted, before loading the Mac OS desktop, they appeared the kernel panic problems, and seconds after the computer restarted automatically again. The same thing continuosly, all the time.
9-The computer's disk is divided into two parts, Mac OS and Windows 7 professional. So I decided to erase all the content in the Mac OS part and install the OS 10.10.2 again from zero (I have a copy in time machine of all my documents).
10-Once Mac OS 10.10.2 (14C1510) installed again, I have installed the Quadro & Geforce Mac OS X driver release 343.02.02 again which is the driver compatible with the operative system.
11-The same problem has occured, when restarting the computer after installing the drivers, the same problem as in point 3 occurs again.
12-I repeated the same operation as in point 9 and 10, however, this time, before restarting the computer after installing the nVIDIA drivers, I installed the CUDA 6.5.46 driver, and the same problem has occured.
The key is that the computer has been working with this graphics card, however, the story has turned crazy...
Anyone has experienced the same problems? Any clue about it?
Many thanks in advanced!

You probably read how that 10.10.2 security update changed the build number of the OS, how Apple is still using really old Nvidia driver from 10.8.2.
So called "Security Update 2015-002" from today will purposely break nVidia drivers! ( 1 2 3)

Mixing ATI and Nvidia in older versions of Windows was a no-no.
With 10.10 I would ditch the 2600XT, it is doing nothing for you except taking up a slot.
you really just could ask and no need to drag 60 lbs and have someone else put a GPU in and attach the 6-pin aux power.
Another site along with MacIntouch to check daily and keep your eye on:

Nvidia Graphics Driver Update for OS X 10.10.2 w/Security Update 2015-002
Nvidia download page for Graphics driver 343.02.02f03 for OS X 10.10.2 (build 14C1510). Here's a clip from the main D/L page tab (other than version info typical boilerplate).
"New in Release 343.02.02f03
Graphics driver updated for OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C1510) Contains performance improvements and bug fixes for a wide range of applications.
Includes NVIDIA Driver Manager preference pane."
See linked page for more info. (As of March 12th post date still links to Cuda 6.5.46 from January 28th but that could change.)

Quadro?
