TS3354 i have vista  and a nvidia graphics card that says it is HDCP capable.

I HAVE JUST TRIED PLAYING AN HD FILM ON MY DESKTOP PC RUNNING 32BIT VISTA.
IT STATED I NEED WINDOWS 7 AND A HDCP CAPABLE CARD AND SCREEN.
I HAVE A NVIDIA CARD THAT STATES IT IS HDCP CAPABLE AND A FULL HD SAMSUNG LED TV TO PLAY IT ON.
WHY AM I TOLD I NEED WINDOWS 7 ( AND A CAPABLE CARD AND MONITOR ) WHEN I BELIEVE I HAVE THEM...

I would recommend that you turn off and restart your Mac. That should clear it up.

  • Expansion - Mac Pro, Nvidia, Graphics Cards, 3d, CUDA

    Hello,
    Are there any plans to make a Mac that is expandable and upgradable with regards to graphics cards? Specifically Nvidia cards. We are doing more and more 3d work and require Nvidia graphics cards for GPU rendering with CUDA. For doing any 3d work CUDA is a MUST. Even on the fastest CPU's, it's the difference between a 1976 Pinto, and a 2014 Lamborghini Aventador when it comes to rendering.
    Thunderbolt expansion doesn't seem to be a possibility... While technically this should work, there is currently no support for graphics cards in external Thunderbolt chassis (to my knowledge)... and there are no drivers (nor are there plans to make any as far as I know) for Nvidia graphics cards for Mac's. I can only assume it is because there doesn't seem to be any way to expand these new Mac Pro's.
    Without the ability to expand for these graphics cards, we (I and the company that I work for) are only left with a few options (as I see it).
    1)     Switch to Windows (Really?)
    2)     Linux
    3)     Create a render farm from old computers. (Not Ideal for several reasons, not the least of which is the ability to preview before final render.)
    We are approaching the time for equipment upgrades, and we simply can't justifiy spending that amount of money for a computer that frankly will not do what we need it to do. Especially since a comparable PC at a third of the price, will.
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  • Non NVidia graphics card issues with Adobe and Mountain Lion

    It took me a while to figure it out, but now I am certain. If using a Mac with a non nvidia graphics card there will be issues in Mountain Lion while using Adobe products. I tested this with Illustrator CS6 for over a year on 5 different Mac computers.
    Here is what happens
    As soon as I open Illustrator on a Mac without a NVidia graphics card and I attend to apply an shadow effect, Illustrator crashes. If I do this procedure on a Mac with a NVidia inside, all works well.
    I tested this on the following Macs
    MacBook Pro (Early 2009) with NVidia 9600M GT - it works
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011) with Radeon 6750M - doesn't work
    Mac Pro (Early 2009) with Radeo HD 5770 - doesn't work
    The same Mac Pro (Early 2009) with NVidia GT120 - it works
    MacBook Air (Mid 2012) with Intel HD 4000 - doesn't work
    iMac (Late 2012) with NVidia 680MX - it works
    Since I owned all these Macs, I could test it several times with different kind of software updates. 10.8, 10.8.1, 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 did deliver the same result. Everytime the same result.
    Already got in touch with Adobe
    With Illustrator CS5 it worked like a charme, so I assumed it could be an Adobe issue. But Adobe support told me, it's Apple's fault since 10.8 uses different processes for the graphics performance.
    What can be done, to resolve this issue? I cannot buy only Macs with NVidia inside, since the small portable front of Macs is only coming with Intel graphics cards. And is there anybody out there, having this issue? I cannot be the only one, using shadows in Illustrator.

    With Illustrator CS5 it worked like a charme, so I assumed it could be an Adobe issue. But Adobe support told me, it's Apple's fault since 10.8 uses different processes for the graphics performance.
    A typical response.  IMO it's most likely a combination of Adobe's reluctance to fix the issue combined with Apple's desire for advancement and change.  I've personally experienced several things that've become broken owing to Apple changing fundamental aspects of the OS, and the developers of the third-party software in question have either never fixed their software, or are taking their sweet time.  WireTap Studio and Snapz Pro from Ambrosia are a case in point, though they eventually fixed Snapz Pro.  Eventually…
    Frankly, good luck getting either side to do anything about this.  Your best bet is probably getting in touch with AppleCare and seeing if you can get this escalated to Engineering, but I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix from either party.  Or perhaps one of the Apple mailing lists will prove useful.

    Hi All, if anyone can help me fix this error I will be most aprreciative.
    I get this error when I open After Effects.
    Ray-tracing on the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0 or later. For now, ray tracing will use the CPU.
    After installing CUDA 5.0 or later, restart your computer.

  • Apple MacBook Air 11 inch, 13 inch, or Dell XPS 14 with i7 and nvidia graphics card?

    I am a college student looking for either a MacBook Air 11 inch or a MacBook Air 13 inch. I was looking at the Dell XPS 14 with i7 processor and nvidia graphics card. It is similar in price to an Apple MacBook Air 11 inch. I will mainly use the laptop for browsing, a bit of Minecraft, watching videos (netflix/downloading movies), presentations, and documents. I would also need it to be lightweight because I will be carrying it around campus. I cannot choose between these three.....any ideas? I have an iPhone 5 and iPad with retina display (that is what I use currently and it is not working out). I just saw the WWDC14 and I saw how all my devices could connect to the Mac flawlessly.
    Please let me know,
    Thanks

    I recommend the macbook 13" retina. Yes, it is expensive, but if you pair it with 8GB of memory, you should be futureproof for the next 5 years minimum. Why not the air.
    Currently the air sports thunderbolt 1, This is super outdated. Macbook pro has thunderbolt 2 which allows you to daisy chain monitors via display port 1.2. Macbook Air sports display port 1.1a which only allows daisy chaining amoungst thunderbolt monitors which are expensive. $1000 minimum per a monitor where as you could pickup a daisy chainable displayport 1.2 dell monitor for $200. The only reason I am severely regretting my 13" Air.
    The screen, yes, in a few years all screens will sport retina resolutions. It makes a big difference when reading and typing for long periods of time. Text is more clear. Also, 11" is way too small. If you want something that small, get an Ipad Air.
    Battery life, 9 hours should still be enough to get you through the day. I go to school and I could only top out at 7 hours usage at most.
    Gaming, Although I dont recommend gaming on any laptop because laptops aren't meant so much for gaming. Mostly because the heat generated from it kills the life of your laptop. It is up to 20% faster than the air.
    Weight, half a pound off the 13" AIR is not a big deal. Actually the retina is smaller in height and width, so better center of balance when using it on your lap and the black bezel is less distracting.
    Processor, its 10% faster in overall processing speeds generally.
    Dont forget to purchase 2 year extended warranty. Buy that from bhphoto for 180 bucks. No tax and its way cheaper than apple.
    If you still want the air after that, consider getting the 13". It comes with sd card slot, it is handy when you run out of space. And its 10% faster than the 11" even though they have the same processor. The processor's performance is based on the thermal threshold of the computer. The hotter it gets, the slower the computer gets to cool the processor down.
    If you choose the Macbook Pro 13" RETINA(Not the $999 version with the DVD Drive), if you can, wait till late october when they update the computer with better hardware. Well... if you can.

  • Please help ... Ray-tracing on the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0 or later?

    Hi there,
    I'm have a bit of an issue with After Effects and Premiere.
    After Effects:
    Keeps asking for Ray-tracing on the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0
    Premiere crashes unexpectedly
    Can someone please help
    Much-ly appreciate

    Hi there,
    Sorry took a while to get back to you guys. I have been having some issues with Premiere and Aftereffects CC.
    I recently bought an Apple Pro CTO - Intel Xeon E5 3.7 GHZ Quad-Core with 10MB of L3 Cache, 32GB (4x 8gb) 1866MHZ DDR3 ECC DDR3 RAM, 1TB PCIE-BASED Flash storage, DUAL AMD FIREPRO D500 GPUS with 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM, DUAL Gigabit NIC, 802.11AC, bluetooth, 6x thunderbolt2 ports, MAC OS X.
    Issue 1 - Aftereffects CC
    Ray-tracing o the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0
    Issue 2 - Premiere CC
    Warp Stabiliser wasn't stabilising correctly and now doesn't work at all in premiere CC. I even tried to link to aftereffects but it still doesn't stabilise the shots correctly.
    I use to operate PC before with Adobe CS6 and I didn't get any issue stabilising.
    If you guys can point me what's the best way to get it to work correctly that would be magic.
    Look forward to hear from you

  • Switching from ATI to NVIDIA graphic card caused initscript to break

    First off, I want to apologize for having to use a random BugMeNot account but the "What is the output of "date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?" question is literally impossible for me to answer as my Arch Linux system will not boot up.
    Well, that aside, I've run into a relatively serious problem. I used to have an ATI card in my system, using the catalyst driver and catalyst-hook to make sure it would keep working after kernel updates but then disaster stroke. My power supply died and dragged my graphic card down with it. After bringing it to a PC store for repair, I now have the NVIDIA GeForce GTX550 Ti card in it. All fine and well, until I wanted to start Arch Linux to remove my catalyst driver and install the NVIDIA one. I started the system, the initscript started to run, did a small part of it's tasks and while processing UDev events it started to spit errors regarding noveau and refused to boot up. (It only showed those errors for a very short time, so it's hard to get the exact error message. I've typed it over from an image I took with my mobile phone and the blurry image may make it possible for this to contain typos)
    Error message:

    Things I have tried:
    - Starting Arch Linux fallback
    - Starting Arch Linux on runlevel 1
    - Shouting at Arch Linux in frustration
    However, all three things resulted in the exact same issue.
    If anyone knows what to do or has even the slightest hint, I'd love to know.
    Thanks in advance and have a nice day,

    Hm, I'd try to put the nvidia card out and to plug the gfx cable into the socket of your onboard graphics chip, if any.
    Then boot into runlevel 3 (text mode) and uninstall the ati drivers. Poweroff, put your nv-card in, boot and install Xorg and the appropriate nvidia driver (just follow the wikis).
    If you can't boot into rl3 at all however, edit the grub's command line (or "kernel line") and add single at the and. After booting into runlevel 1 as a single user this way, enter init 3 for rl3. Finally edit /etc/inittab accordingly. -- Alternatively you can edit /etc/inittab with booting your Arch cd, and being chroot'ed.

  • Premiere Elements 9 crashes with multiple NVIDIA graphics cards under Windows 7

    I've just installed Premiere Elements 9 and found that it will not run at all with multiple NVIDIA graphics cards active under Windows 7.  Per all the other discussions, I updated the NVIDIA drivers and Quicktime support to the latest versions.  (NVIDIA version 260.99).  I have both a 9400 GT and an 8400 GS installed, to support multiple monitors.  They both use the same driver.  The PRE 9 organizer will run, but as soon as I create or load a project it quickly crashes.
    On a long shot I disabled the 8400 GS card in the Device Manager and now I can run PRE 9.  Of course this means giving up one of my monitors.  Any other ideas?

    Over in the Premiere Pro area (or maybe it was in the Hardware section... didn't pay a lot of attention 'cause it really didn't matter to me) I read a message about using two nVidia cards with no problems (other than no dual-card SLI support)
    I **think** that was with two SAME model nVidia cards
    And, of course, PPro is completely different code, so PreEl may simply not work with two nVidia cards

  • T420s Nvidia Graphics Card & Express Card Questions

    Hello, and thank you for checking out my post.  My apologies for writing a book, but I'm hoping to give as much detail as needed the first go round.
    I just received my custom-built T420s (4170-CTO) and have a couple technical questions/concerns about it.  The details of my configuration are located at the bottom of this post.
    First off, one of the deciding factors of my purchase was the discrete graphics card.  On the T420s I chose NVIDIA NVS 4200M Optimus Graphics 1GB, Intel Core i7-2620M Processor.  I was thrilled to have more than 256 MB of dedicated graphics memory for my games.  Upon receiving my laptop, though, I ran the Windows Experience Index and saw that the lowest score was the graphics card, which is identified as Intel HD Graphics Family and has 64 MB of dedicated graphics memory.  After my heart started beating again I checked Device Manager and found under Display both Intel HD Graphics Family and NVIDIA NVS 4200M listed as working with up-to-date drivers.  When I configured the laptop online there was no mention of hybrid graphics, so I'm not sure why I have an Intel Graphics card on the machine.  My current laptop that I was looking to replace is a T61p with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M graphics card, and only that NVIDIA card is shown under Device Manager and in the Windows Experience / Performance Information.  Thinking that perhaps disabling the Intel card would cause the NVIDIA card to take over, I disabled that through Device Manager.  My screen went black and after feeling quite stupid I rebooted my computer.  The default Windows Display driver kicked in, allowing me to see well enough to get back to Device Manager and enable the Intel Graphics.  I counted myself lucky that I wasn't stuck with a working computer with a blank screen, but I'm still confused about why the NVIDIA card isn't the only display adapter on the machine, and why it isn't the default/main adapter.  Most importantly, will it be usable to run my games?
    My second question is regarding the PCI ExpressCard slot.  My aim for this machine was to have a HDD to store my data (I selected the 320GB 7200 RPM HDD) and a SSD to boot and run my programs from.  Another reason for choosing this machine was the comment on Lenovo's site stating that a user booted his T420s from a solid state drive in the PCI ExpressCard slot, which was exactly was I was looking for.  I need the CD/DVD drive, so I can't put the second hard drive in a caddy.  During configuration I chose the option for an Express Card Slot & 4 in 1 Card Reader & Smart Card Reader.  From what I can tell, the Express Card slot is not connected to the Card Readers and I will not lose use of those ports.  When I opened the computer up to install more RAM, I saw what is labeled in Lenovo's hardware manual as the Express Card slot, apparently empty - which is great!  Now I need to figure out what kind of SSD to look for, and on that I'm kinda lost.
    I'm guessing that my ExpressCard slot is 34mm and PCI form factor rather than USB... but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a not-incredibly-educated guess.  I'm also not sure where mSATA comes into play for me, if at all.  Looking at SSDs on sites such as newegg.com, I'm unsure of what form factor to choose - ExpressCard, PCI-E, mSATA, and/or 1.8"?
    The tech specs of my configured T420s (copy/pasted from the order status) are as follows.  I hope this means more to you than it does to me.

    The T420s with Nvidia GPU has two graphics card that can switch on the fly, if you only want the discrete gpu, just go into your bios menu under graphics there is an option to select discrete.
    With the Nvidia Optimus (which is what you have), it can switch between Nvidia and Intel GPU depending on your application needs. This will allow you to conserve battery or power.
    Expresscard slot 34 mm slot is occupied by the card reader that you ordered.
    What you are talking about within the ram slot cover, is the mPCIe slot, which can be occupied by a mSATA drive.

  • Why can I not see Nvidia graphics card when i click "more info" on my 15 inch macbook pro?

    I've just purchased a mid 2012 macbook pro
    its supposed to have an Nvidia graphics card, but when i click "about this mac" --> "more info" i only see Intel HD 4000 graphics card. Is this ok? Does this mean that somebody opened my macbook and stole the card :- /

    Nope - it's likely just the card in use at the time when you do the More Info...
    ...to check to see if the card is 'there' hold down the option key and select System Information from the Apple menu. Go under Hardware>Graphics & Displays and two cards should be listed.
    Good luck,

  • NVIDIA Graphics card is not found on my U510 ideapad

    Hello,
    I bought this specific laptop because it said it came with a NVIDIA GeForce 625M (1GB) graphics card installed. I have downloaded several drivers, and always get the same error. It says that a NVIDIA device cannot be found on my system. I have the U510 IdeaPad. I have gone into the control panel and checked out the display adapters, and nothing shows up for NVIDIA; just Intel (R) HD 4000. I would like to know how to access my NVIDIA graphics card, because as far as gaming goes, I can do next to nothing with the Intel card. 
    Thanks!

    hi amcalvert,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Can you verify that this card was present before,
        There are models that does not have the Nvidia on it but Intel HD alone.
    You can send me the Serial Number of your computer through private message and let me check your system's Original Configuration.

  • How would I be able to run iTunes through my nVidia Graphics card?

    I would like to run iTunes through my nVidia Graphics Card, because the visualizations when playing music are running slow...
    The option however in the nVidia Control Panel for iTunes has been disabled...
    Two programs - Not Games - have been compared to show what I'm talking about...
    This is iTunes' settings... Number 2. Select the preferred graphics processor for this program - Disabled
    Now...
    Google Chrome's Settings... Number 2.  Select the preferred graphics processor for this program - Enabled
    And I'm able to select the card I want the program to run through...
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanx in advance

    Thanx Nightangelg
    This does present a temporary fix to this problem, but would like to run it from the original iTunes.exe file as well.
    I tested the visualizations again and it couldn't run smoother
    I will send nVidia a ticket as well, although I think it might be Apple that need to enable something in their exe file?
    I am not an expert in program development though, so i might be wrong.
    Thanx again

  • Which Macs have graphics cards that are specifically designed to work best with CS6?

    I'm currently using a late-2009 24" iMac but it just isn't robust enough for some of the the programs included in CS6 (After Effects, Premiere Pro, for example).  I'm planning to buy a new Mac, but I would like to know if there is one or more that has/have graphics cards that are specifically designed to work well with CS6, and if not, were I to purchase a Mac Pro, would I be able to replace the factory graphics card with an after-market card that does?  Thank you.

    If you are not in the 4K business --> I would go for the 32 GB & 27" iMac w/o Retina, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M mit 4 GB GDDR5 (CUDA support) will give you quite a good performance, i.e. with a Thunderbolt connected Raid6 system your 2K projects (including some color correction and other plugins) will work well and you can even use the system as 4k starter/test system.
    If you in the 4K business you could use a full blown iMac Retina system with a GPU AMD Radeon R9 M295X mit 4 GB GDDR5 together with an already mentioned TB Raid6 system. As described from the forum-compatriots, this non-CUDA card doesn't perform too well on GPU accelerated functions of PPro --> but --> search this forum... you will be surprised....some workflows are nearly unaffected....
    If you are in the high end 4K footage busine$$ and you apply a lot of external color correction to your 4k footage (e.g. BM DaVinci) I would go for a MPro with 2 D700 cards.

  • Is it possible to upgrade MacBook Pro 15inch iris pro Retina display version to Nvidia graphics card?

    Hi
    I purchased a MacBook Pro 15inch iris pro Retina display version (£1599) recently.
    Can we upgrade  tit with Nvidia graphics card?
    Thanks

    In USA, you can return a Mac within 14 days of purchase and buy a new one with the desired spec.
    Retina MacBook Pro cannot be upgraded once bought.
    Best.
