Quartz Extreme Graphics Card Support FCE 3.5

Newbie so bear with me...
I have a Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 so I went with FCE 3.5 thinking I had all the minimum requirements as advertised. When I went to install it did not highlight for install. I checked the more detailed requirements in the package and the only thing I'm lacking was the "AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card". In the System Profiler under graphics/displays I have:
ATY,RADEON:
Chipset Model: ATY,RADEON
Type: Display
Bus: PCI
Slot: SLOT-2
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x5144
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-77701-124
Displays:
VA1930wm:
Resolution: 1440 x 900 @ 60 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Software
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
As you can see it says Quartz Extreme not supported for the Viewsonic 19" monitor that I currently have. Wondering if there is a way around this. Just bought new HD camera setup/new os/fce so I would like to not spend more money on a new monitor. Let me know, thanks in advance!

Hi Tom,
There is no actual error message displayed - the Final Cut Express HD is not highlighted under Custom Install as shown in the screencapture below:

The manual claims that if something is not highlighted it does not meet the minimum requirements and the only thing I do not meet is the video card. Any ideas? Thanks again in advance.

Final cut pro requires you to have a quartz extreme graphics card

When I open Final Cut Pro, it says final cut pro requires you to have a quartz extreme graphics card. However, I have used the same thing for over a year already without any problems! Please help!
It's an iMac 27inch quad core late 2009

I bet you used Software update to download a few items recently (including a recent system update), and have not yet restarted your Mac. To confirm this, launch software update, and follow the instructions. Once you restart and the install completes, relaunch FCP, and you'll probably be good.
(I just did that to myself the other day).
Hope it helps!

Graphic card support Java3D?

Here you the detail for my graphic card:
http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/k8-series/k8m890/
and here the detail of the mobo:
http://www.asus.it/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=324&l4=0&model=1282&modelmenu=2
I've installed DirextX 9c on my pc.
I'm training on the Java3d libraries, but I got a problem, with my first example:
DefaultRenderingErrorListener.errorOccurred:
CONTEXT_CREATION_ERROR: Renderer: Error creating Canvas3D graphics context
graphicsDevice = Win32GraphicsDevice[screen=0]
canvas = javax.media.j3d.Canvas3D[canvas0,0,0,248x229]
Java 3D ERROR : OpenGL 1.2 or better is required (GL_VERSION=1.1)
Now, the question: can my graphic card support Java3D libraries?
I've tried to use theese (https://j3d-webstart.dev.java.net/test/) example, but they don't work too!
I hope in some suggest. Thanx in advice

Have you tried updating your OpenGL version? Java 3D may need that for somethings that DirectX can't give...?

Final Cut won't start sometimes, says I need a quartz extreme video card

Even though I have a quartz extreme capable video card and use Final Cut studio all the time, sometimes an error message will pop up and won't let me load any final cut application. The message is "Final cut pro recommends that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
I've tried deleting the preferences, and then running applejack. Sometimes it works, but right now I can't get it to load. I'm not even sure where to start troubleshooting this. Any advice would be much appreciated.
My software is all up to date.

No, I have FCE 4 - should have said that - and it worked on my older Intel based MacBook Pro.
As it turns out, though, I think I've solved the problem, adapting a solution to a related problem I found on MacRumors.com. Don't know why this is necessary, but here's the solution I tried:
1. right click on the FCE application icon and select "Show Package Contents"
2. open the "Contents" folder and then open the "info.plist" folder in Text Edit
3. find the line that says: "<key>AELMinimumQuartzExtremeCapable</key>," and replace it with "<key>AELMinimumGeForceCapable</key>", and then make sure that the next line says "<string></string>" without any number specified. Or, if you have some other kind of graphics card that you know is compatible, you could say what that is instead of GeForce. I found it doesn't work just to delete this line completely.
Again, I don't know why Apple didn't build in this flexibility when they updated their standard Graphics cards, but in any case this solution seems to work.

Need Quartz Extreme video card

I'm planning to resurrect my of MDD for my son but the video card need charging to improve the GUI lag.
At the moment I have an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro in my dual 867Mhz MDD but the GUI is sluggish and the video card doesn't support hardware accelerated Quartz Extreme, everything is handled by the CPUs.
I am looking too replace the video card for something that will speed up the OS X GUI;
Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
Does the ATI 9600 Pro support this?
Also what other video card options do I have? I've seen references to the Radeon X800 and GeForce 7800 GS but I'm just not sure.

Hi,
Well the ATI 9800 Pro video card arrived yesterday morning and was easy to install. I instantly could see the GUI was smoother (but no where near my MacPro ATI Radeon HD 3870) but still choppy. And yes, the profiler said QE was supported with Core Image hardware acceleration, which is what I was looking for; less demand on the CPUs for rendering the GUI.
No drivers required, just slot the card in and away it goes. There was some ATI utilities to install but these were not required to make it work, I think.
RAM
I have 1.5gb RAM in the MDD, the memory is quite old now. Maybe its worth replacing it with some PC2700 spec RAM of today. I can't remember if the RAM is properly matched, so I'll look into that. RAM is cheap these days and four 512mb, crucial lists at $17.99 each.
Boot Hard Disk
After replacing the RAM, maybe look at replacing the boot HD, its still running on the original drive from the factory. Maybe a SATA PCI card and have two RAID 0 (striped) boot drives, something like a FirmTek SeriTek/1S2 and a couple of 10,000rpm drives.
Question: Can I boot my PowerMac from a couple of striped drives using Apples software RAID? or will this be a backward step, maybe a cheap PCI Raid card would be a better option.
Question: Can you get a PCI SATA card that supports hardware RAID 0?
Comment
Its kinda find doing all this with my old PowerMac, first time ever its received any kind of attention like this, well maybe just the Verax fans when I first I got this PowerMac in Sept 2002!

Graphics card and FCE

Hi. I have a PowerMacG5 with an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro graphics card. I am considering making the move from iMovie HD to FCE3.5 or 4, but the specs say I need an AGP or PCI Express graphics card compative with Quartz Extreme.
Does anyone know if my current graphics card will work? Thank you in advance for your help!

You should be good to go. Qualifying information is here

How to tell if your graphics card supports MoleHill

If you get rendering issues or only playback in software there is a way to determine if your graphics card should support MoleHill. Please download the exe found here (Win only) http://zp.amsnet.pl/cdragan/d3dcaps.html and run it. In the same directory you will see a 'devcaps.txt' file. In that file there are two lines that tell whether MoleHill is supported:
VERTEX_SHADER_VERSION FFFE0200
PIXEL_SHADER_VERSION FFFF0200
Ignore the FFFE/FFFF values, the values that are important are the 0200 numbers. Those values must be greater than 0200 (not equal to) in order to support MoleHill.
Note that VERTEX_SHADER_VERSION and PIXEL_SHADER_VERSION show up twice in the file, the first ones pertain to d3d8 and will have values around 0104, ignore those, the important values are the second ones.
If your values are greater than 0200 and you are experiencing issues with rendering in HW please post the log and configuration info here and I will log bugs on them.
Thanks!

Hi Tom,
We had to turn off hardware because the graphics drivers, even from mainstream manufacturers like NVidia and ATI aren't well supported and have many issues related to stability and performance. We have 2-3 bugs right now that crash deep within the driver code.
In the near term, we’re focusing our resources on getting hardware accelerated Stage 3D (“Molehill”) on Windows, Mac, and Android – as well as on partner devices like the Playbook. We understand that there are developers using Linux for development, but our efforts are focused on supporting operating systems that are most important to our customers for deploying content, and which also demonstrate the greatest opportunity for future growth for our partners and developers.

Need info about graphics card supported with pre pro cs5

Hi,
I checked one information about supported graphics card about pre pro cs5 on aodbe.com,
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/search_result.html?manuSearchVar=1&modelSearchVar=0 &supportSearchVar=0&brand=&dataFormat=&version=CS5&device=graphic&format=&buttonSubmit=
Under SUPPORT column it is mentioned for ATI and NVIDIA "Legacy support" and "Full support".
What is the difference in "Legacy support" and "Full support"?
I am not able to understand
Vinay

Premiere will use just about any graphics card to write to the screen so you may see what you are doing
For hardware MPE you must use a specific nVidia card... or a non-supported nVidia card with a small hack
For a list of supported nVidia CUDA cards go to the FAQ

Is nVidia geForce 8400: 512 mb Graphic card supports openGL?

Hi Guys, I am using nVidia geForce 8400: 512 mb Graphic card. could some please tell me whether this card is supports openGL? because when I tried in photoshop it is in disable. I can not able to enable. So kindly give your suggestions.
HARI

In the world of video cards, the nVidia geForce 8400 is ancient, slow, and outdated. On a scale where the fastest modern cards benchmark in the vicinity of 3000, the geForce 8400 measured out at 160 (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/).
Do yourself a favor and buy a modern video card mesauring at least 1500 on that scale (see the High End Video Card page). They're not that expensive! Your entire system will pick up speed, and Photoshop can really scream.

L9 & new MP Quad Install Issues: Quartz Extreme capable card?

Hello - so I went for it and got a new Mac Pro and the L9 upgrade and the installer won't let me install it - it tells me that Logic Studio requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card. Anyone have any insight on how to fix this? Thanks!

What? A quad Nehalem has insufficient video capabilities??? That is beyond ridiculous.

Will my ATI Radeon x1600 graphics card support Final Cut Express?

In the fall I plan to attend Cincinnati State, and major in AVP (Audio Video Production), and I wanted to get a head start by purchasing the program Final Cut Express. I checked the system specifications, and apparently I need an AGP graphics card. The problem is I have no idea whether or not my ATI Radeon x1600 card will be able to run the program or not. Thank you for your feedback!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I'm just not sure what is going on - that error is what Mac Mini's and others with onboard video have when they try to run FCE/FCP, and there is a workaround mentioned here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1609878
Of course, your MBP has the ATI card, not onboard video.
I did a clean install of FCE 3 HD ( PPC ) and then upgraded immediately to FCE 3.5 HD ( Universal ) and have experienced no problems with it.
