The Tesla C2075 card & Quadro 6000 card + Nvidia Maximus configuration (CS 5.5.2 update)

Could somebody kindly discuss in more detail the improvement of the Nvidia Maximus configuration? The Tesla C2075 card and the Quadro 6000 card appear to be identical cards. If a PC computer had both cards installed + an AJA KONA 3G card + the Premier Pro CS 5.5.2 update, what would the advantage be in comparison to a computer that only has a Quadro 6000 card + an AJA KONA 3G card installed (no C2075?) Adobe Master Collection would be installed in this PC computer. Thank you.

Here is what one of the Nvidia folks said when a similar question was asked elsewhere:
"That’s right; a Quadro 6000 and Tesla C2075 are not identical but they are very similar and you can expect similar performance. There are a few reasons you might want to use a Maximus configuration for Premiere Pro rather than a single Quadro 6000:
1. Having both a Quadro and Tesla GPU in the system means when the Tesla is cranking full-out on Mercury Playback Engine the Quadro is unaffected, so you can, say, open After Effects or other application that may take advantage of the Quadro, and system performance on that app will be better than if it was competing for resources with MPE on a single GPU.
2. In the future, we expect many users will want to run an animation application (using the Quadro) and a simulation application (on the Tesla) at the same time to provide animators with a level of interactivity they don’t have without Maximus technology. Example video is here. (http://youtu.be/_LagqqsVO28)
3. It costs less. A typical Maximus configuration has a mid-range Quadro (e.g. a Quadro 2000) and a Tesla C2075, which in that instance costs hundreds of dollars less than a single Quadro 6000 and offers similar performance plus the workflow advantage listed above.Of course, some users may want to run a Quadro 6000 and a Tesla C2075 and get maximum performance, but others can actually get the best MPE acceleration for less money with Maximus technology."

NVIDIA Tesla C2075 Disappeared after nvidia driver update

Hi,
I have 2 NVIDIA cards, the primary is NVIDIA GTS 450 and the secondary is Tesla C2075.
After upgrading
linux 3.6.9 => linux 3.7.9-2
nvidia 310 => nvidia 313.18-3
nvidia-utils 310 => nvidia-utils 313.18-1
opencl-nvidia 310 => opencl-nvidia 313.18-1
The cudaGetDeviceCount function in CUDA didn't recognize Tesla C2075,
and cudaGetDeviceProperties couldn't find it as well.
Strangely enough, Tesla C2075 still shows up in nvidia-smi and nvidia-settings,
and some programs using opencl-nvidia interface could recognize Tesla C2075 as well,
the problem is only with CUDA programs....
I tried reinstalling cuda5 and recompiling the binaries,
switching the Tesla C2075 to the primary video card,
but they didn't make any difference.
Any idea on how this could happen?
Now I just down-graded nvidia driver and Tesla C2075 shows up in CUDA programs again....
Thanks.

Strange enough, the issue just disappeared with the latest update,
i.e. linux-3.8.4-1 & nvidia-313.26-1

Nvidia Maximus users?

Anyone using the Nvidia Maximus configuration (Quadro 4000 and Tesla 2075) with CS6 yet? Looks great for enhanced playback and raytracing.

Unfortunately the GTX 670 doesnt provide the desired acceleration function I require in the new 3D raytrace mode in After effects, in addition to the enhanced playback and accelerated performance in Premiere where it works in conjunction with my Quadro 4000. To tell you the truth, I bumped into several facilities / individuals during my sneak peek experience with Adobe that are running the Maximus configuration with dramtic results . Those are the folks I seek feedback from.

After Effects CS6 doesn't recognize my Nvidia Quadro K5000 + Tesla c2075 (Maximus) setup

Hello everybody, could you help me to address this problem? After Effects CS6 doesn't recognize my Nvidia Quadro K5000 + Tesla c2075 (Maximus) setup. What should I do?
Best,
Oscar.

That is not a configuration that After Effects CS6 will use for the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
See the After Effects CS6 system requirements:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-effects.html#After Effects CS6 system requirements
The Quadro K5000 was added to the whitelist for the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer in After Effects CC (12.0).

Can I upgrade the graphic card Nvidia Geforce 6600 Go on Tecra M5-133

Hi,
I want to change Graficcard of my Toshiba M5-133 (Quadro NVS 110M), can I install Nvidia Geforce 6600 Go Graphiccard
instead??
Thank in advanced

Hi
> can I install Nvidia Geforce 6600 Go Graphiccard instead??
No, this is definitely not possible.
The notebook technology is different from the desktop PC and several parts are not upgradeable.
The GPU (graphic card chip) is fixed on the board and the replacement or the upgrade is not possible, unfortunately.
Greetings

Tesla card in Maximus not being used

I spent a few thousand dollars buying a Quadro 6000 and a Tesla M2090, but the later inever gets used at any time by Premiere CS6. I tested the usage with the command below and the GPU and memory is always zero, when playing back, when exporting, etc. The card is simply ignored.
Is there something I am missing? I am exporting a 45 minute video for Youtube only with acceleted effects and it takes about 40 minute to generate the file. Sould it not take much less time?

THE TRUTH, THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH ABOUT PREMIERE AND NVIDIA
I finally have the picture clear. In order to reach this "illumination" I assembleda laboratory with
a) a $25.000 server Dlel R901 with 24 cores at 2.7 Ghz and 128 Gb of RAM and Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
b) a Quadro 6000 + Tesla M2090
c) a Geforce GTX 285
d) a EVGA GeForce GT 640
e) a Desktop computer with an I7 980 with 25 GB of RAM and Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
f) a Mac 10.7.4 with an 8-core I7 990 at 3.2 Ghz
Background: I shoot a 45 minute video every saturday for a non-for-profit institution, as a hobby. That is why I push this so hard. My goal is to shorten the time it takes from shooting the video and uploading it to Youtube. This involves one video track, one title, and some CUDA accelerated effects like RGB curves , zooming plus some audio enhancement.
Some facts: Even the cheapest Nvidia card available, the GT 640, can do realtime CUDA effects, whoever tells you different is trying to defraud you. It does work, at least in my one video-track scenario. The bottleneck is not realtime display, is exporting it to H264. When Premiere is exporting H264 at 1280x720 highest possible quality, it uses the CUDA engine in full. I proved it. It also uses the CPU, but without CUDA, even if pre-rendered, it takes a lot longer to export, several times longer. Some people say that when exporting Premiere does not use the CUDA engine, but they are flat wrong.
Quadro 6000 + Tesla M2090, COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. This is what happens: you would think that having the two most expensive cards in the Nvidia portfolio, the time it takes to export the video would shorten, but it is wrong. The geniouses at Nvidia/ Premiere only use in card at the time, I proved it. If the Tesla is present in the system, they use it above the Quadro, and the Quadro is idle at 0% while the Tesla is running at 90% GPU and it does require cooling or it smells like it is catching fire. All in all, it will not save any time over using the Quadro 6000 alone. However, why would you ever spend the money on either card, when an old GTX 285 can do the same exact job for only 10% more time, I mean going from 40 to 45 minutes? You need to be high on drugs to spend almost $8.000 in hardware for something that a $200 card can do in only 10% more time. It is all a marketing fad. Unless you have 10 video tracks and dozens of effects, no need to spend a dime over $200, even a $100 GT 640 will do it.
THE COMPUTER: does it matter? No it does not. My $25.000 server will still export the same video in the same 40 minutes, using the cheapest card, the GT 640, which being half-length, is the only one that I could fit in my server. In my desktop box with an I7 980 and 25 GB of RAM, it takes the exact same time to export the same video, so save the server for a higher purpose.
It gets even better. I don't use Windows 7, but Windows server 208 R2 with full desktop composition, which is the same as Windows 7 for any video editing purpose. But I also have a Mac 10.7.4, with 25 GB of RAM, built by me, with a I7 990 (8 cores at 3.2 Ghz). Premiere takes around 10 times more time to export the same exact video with the same exact CUDA effects and card on the Mac, as compared to Windows. A complete catastrophe. It uses the Mercury Engine for realtime, but apparently not for exporting the video to H264, while in Windows it does use it just fine. Something is wrong here, very wrong. This time I think Adobe is to blame. Please be advised that hard drives are not to blame on this difference. I am not an idiot. In both Operating Systems I created a 2 GB RAM disk and exported to this device. So please stop arguing that raid cards and other gimmicks can shorten export times. It is unrelated, since there is nothing faster than a RAM disk. On the Mac I even tried to store the source on the same RAM disk as the exported file, and it did not substantially improve the time it takes to export.
Conclusion: if you can find it in Craigslit, buy yourself a GTX 285 used. It is the best bang for the buck, and avoid any expensive Nvidia hardware.

Adobe Maximus with Quadro K5000 and Tesla C2075

Hi there,
i have a Nvidia Quadro K5000 installed in my 3D workstation and wanted to extend the existing configuration with a Tesla Card from Nvidia.
Because i have a Tesla C2075 in my other workstation i was thinking to combine both cards in my 3D workstation as a Maximus setup.
Is it possible to drive the configuration with both cards? Or do i need to have a Tesla K20?
Thanks for your feedback in advance

HT4664 What is the best graphics card for FCPX?

In the nonstop anti-FCPX propaganda is an article of interest — posted 7/9/12 — comparing the benchmarks of FCPX and PP6.
http://www.streamingmedia.com/Producer/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=83582 &PageNum=1
The system used was a 2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro from early 2009 running MacOS X version 10.7.4 with 12 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 graphics card with 1.5 GB of onboard RAM.
In most cases PP6 outperformed FCPX with this configuration. However, in the comments Ben Balser pointed out that FCP X's A/VFoundation engine wasn't ideal on the NVIDA card:
"Quadro is actually not the best card for FCP X's A/VFoundation engine, but great for CS6's Mercury engine, so the test is amazingly flawed right there. Try both on a 5780 card and watch things drastically change. I've done that test myself. Exporting to Compressor uses a MUCH more sophisticated encoding engine meant for higher level, professional transcoding, not simple outputs, which are faster using Export Media…"
Apple lists this card on its support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
So,
What is the best graphics card for FCPX?

Ben,
Thanks for chiming in on that article. It would be good to have a benchmark comparison with the two systems each with a preferred card.
I'm hoping to see some other comparisons on this thread. Also, some links to other articles about best practices and configurations.

I am trying to find out the proper graphic card for mac.

I am trying to find out the proper graphic card for imac. The graphic card which is mentioned in the web sit, that Graphic Card is not available in the open market. In open market NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M and NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M is available and this card is not mentioned in web site. So please help to select a proper suitable GPU.

Are they supportable for After Effects ray-traced 3d renderer.
I am confused because adobe recommended on the following graphic card.
Mac OS
GeForce GTX 285

GeForce GTX 680
GeForce GTX 680MX
GeForce GT 650M
Quadro CX
Quadro FX 4800

Any advice?

Premiere Elements 10 - Is Mercury Engine compatible with Graphic Card Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M?
I do not see this card listed on the Adobe products page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/873/cpsid_87347.html but am hoping someone who is more computer savy at Adobe or Nvidia or somewhere else can advise me.
I'm looking to purchase a laptop with the subject graphics card.

New Graphics Card - NVIDIA Geforce GTX 690

Hi
We want to replace our NVIDIA Quadro 4000 with a newer card.
The NVIDIA Geforce GTX seems to take more advantage of the CUDA Technology - is this true?
And we use this computer only for editing with PrPro.
So we thik about the newest NVIDIA Geforce GTX 690:

This is not certified - would you recommend it?
Which is the best certified card?

The above gentlemen are correct, and there is absolutely no need for a "certified" card they both work fine you may have to add the proper name of the card to the Adobe "cuda_supported_cards.txt file". Take a look at our Premiere Pro BenchMark PPBM5 and see many non-certified nVidia cards on the list

What are the pros and cons of the OEM video cards?

I was configuring the order for a MP, but found out now that I can not run 2 - 24" LED screens unless I order 2 of the standard nVidia cards. I had wanted the faster ATI card but, that would not allow 2 of the new MDVI connections. So, what would I loose by not having the better card?
Can anyone advise me the downside or any benefit of using the nVidia standard card(s)? I am using mostly for photo editing and some video. I read that the video card is becoming more important with the advance of Snow Leopard. What am I loosing short and long term by not having the ATI card?
Thanks.

This area of new MiniDVI... there are adapters, and they sometimes may have trouble with 3rd party monitors but not Apple's (hopefully!).
I hear people that want to use two old DVIs, but you want to use two of the new format display type.... and you don't want to spend $100. The Mac Pro comes with one adapter, yes?
The GT is more like 9500GT or something, or 8600GT (same spec, different name) and if you want to look at a review? comparing the GT120 to others? Barefeats, PC reviews.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 includes two video ports: one Mini DisplayPort and one dual-link DVI port. This allows you to connect both the 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display or another Mini DisplayPort-based display, and a DVI-based display such as the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. Display adapters are available to connect VGA displays.

Getting the name of the installed video card

I'm trying to discover if exists any way in java to get the name (ATI, nVidia, Creative) and other properties (version,memory size,...) of the installed video card where the jvm is running.
Thanks in advance,
Joan

Definitely not directly with Java APIs....
2 approaches...
1. get another external program to do the work for you, and export it to a text file.
then you parse then text file.
On WinXP, there's a program called msinfo32.exe in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo
type msinfo32 /? for a list of command line options.
Looks like you can route it to a text file.
2. Write a low level JNI library in native Windows C++, which somehow finds that hardware specific information from the Windows API.
regards,
Owen

What's the better graphics card?

The Radeon HD 6750M (1GB) from the 2011 macbook pros or the nVidia Geforce GT 650m (1GB) in the current refresh?

Depends what you're going to use it for.
The Nvidia Geforce GT650M will be a faster graphic card.
But the Radeon will have a better video quality.
The way graphic cards are built now however, it's hard to find the difference in video quality since they're all pretty fast.
