Two nvidia cards for triplehead setup

hello everyone^^
i posted in the german arch-forum but nobody was able to help. I already have an agp nvidia 7600gs installed. additionally i want to install a pci nvidia fx5200. both cards use different driver packages. are there any known problems using both packages at the same time? did anybody already deal with that problem and is able to help? btw i already had both cards working together in kubuntu 7.1 with triple monitor. i am quite new to arch, therefore any help is really appreciated.
atm i need a working pc therefore i have to be very careful. the second card is not in xorg.conf and not in nvidia-settings. what to do first?
thank you
christian
ps: sorry for my english

Hi rokziiron,
As long as the card that you have is compatible with the motherboard, expansion slots, and processor of your new computer. You should have no issue with compatibility. I have included the 'HP ENVY Phoenix 810-170st Product Specifications and Configurable Options'.
For the making sure that you are using the correct power, please make sure that the power requirement for the other graphics card does not put you over the Power output wattage. This information is also included in the specifications.
If you do require further assistance with this, please provide me with the make of video card that you are wanting to install, and your old computers model number. I have included the document 'Guide to finding your product number'.
Thank you.

TS1292 Hi I was gifted with two iTunes cards for christmas but I can't use them. They can only be used in the American store and I am Canadian with a Canadian account. What an I do?

I am canadian and was given two gift cards for Christmas but cant use them. I get the message that they must be in the american store
Help

Correct. Gift cards can only be purchased and redeemed in the country of origin. Given that it's the holidays you might consider gifting them to a needy child in your church.

NVidia card for SDI output?

What nVidia cards are "compatible" for SDI output? I am curious, as I have a 4000...
Thanks,

For people that already invested in a DeckLink Studio card, would it be worthwhile to wait a little while, instead of additionally investing in a Quadro SDI? Or is the support for other output cards way down on the roadmap?

Two nVidia cards in 1 Desktop?

I just received my Envy Phoenix 800-170st with the nVidia GeForce GTX645 card. I would like to take the older nVidia card from my HP 8300 (11/2009) and install it in the 800-170st in the second PCI-E slot just above the GTX645 card so that I can run 2 HP monitors using the DVI port on each card.
This appears to be possible with the hardware, but are there any caveats or issues that I should consider before doing this ... heat, power, etc?
I am currently running the second monitor off of the HDMI port on the GTX645, but would like to use DVI for both monitors. The monitors are HP 27xi (new) and HP2709 which came with the 8300.
Thanks!

NVIDIA CARDS for MacPro

I just switched from apple editing to adobe editing.
What nVidia Cards are compatible with a 07-08 MacPro 3.0 quadcore?
I just burmed myself ordering a GTX570.
1,1 profile / macpro 2x 3ghz dual core / running 10.6.8

Lion has drivers for the 500 series, based on what is seen on Netkas and MacRumors. It should work with 570 as well, though may need some small modification to driver Plist. Get ATY_Init, and a 7300GT in slot 4, with the 570 in Slot 2, and you may have success.

Running 2 MSI Cards for Quad Setup but only seeing 2 montiors

I built this computer about 8 months ago and all has worked great till my primary C drive failed, replaced the drive and have been reloading everything but can't seem to get my 2 video cards to work like they did previously.
Homebuilt system, xp pro, abit IP35 motherboard, intel quad core processor, 2 geforce 8600 GT video cards (both have dual dvi out) so I have 4 monitors on these 2 cards).
This is a link to the exact card I have 2 of them in this machine on that abit Ip35 motherboard.
MSI NX8600GT-T2D256EZ
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127293
This is what I have done
I loaded up windows xp, loaded up the abit motherboard drivers etc, updated all of the windows sp3, ie7, all security and driver updates, then I put in the msi disc I got with the cards loaded the drivers for xp, restarted and went into the nvidia control panel to adjust the multimonitor display setup (setup of multiple displays under display options).
I also hit the "my monitor is not showing" option but still didnt pick up monitors 3 and 4, like it did originally when i built this setup.
I then went into the device manager and confirmed under display both geforce 8600 cards were showing and went to both and even tried manually loading the drivers from the cd rom disc (did that successfully) but still after a restart nogo on the 3 & 4 monitors showing up.
This is probably such a silly question but i cant remember how i got it all to load up and work before, and im sorta stumped as to what im doing wrong, i confirmed both cards are fully seated (and device manager does show both cards and shows both are functioning properly with drivers loaded), is there anything I need to check setup or adjust in the bios possibly?
Bill

Figured it out after a bit of sleep and re-thinking it, had to right click on desktop / properties / settings, then under display I had to choose each of the 4 different monitors one at a time and check the "extend windows desktop onto this monitor" box, once I did that for all 4 and hit apply, i was able to position each box where I wanted it and all worked great.
Sorry for the question here I was just getting really frustrated after not being able to figure it out last night.

Powermac 1.25 MDD one or two graphics cards for dual display?

I currently have two displays running off of one ATI card. Would I be better off putting a second card in a free PCI slot to run display number two. I've noticed that the ATI card divides the 128 MB memory between the two displays. With a second card there would be more memory dedicated to each individual display.
Is this worth it or not? I have the extra card which i believe is an ATA 9200 PCI card.

on my mac I have a nVidia Geforce4 Ti 4600 128MB DDR 4x AGP.
it has a dvi port and adc port.
I have a 19" Samsung 900DF CRT connected to a DVI to VGA adpater that came with my G4 MDD.
I also have a 17" Philips 107S CRT connected to an ADC to VGA adapter, that I bought for $28 from OWC.
works great for me. extended desktop. I have photoshop menus and palettes on the smaller monitor and the main work screen on the larger.
when i watch movies and stuff watch the movies on the larger monitor.
when I use iMovie and After Effects, I do same as I do with Photoshop.
If I wanted to, I could put a PCI graphics card in the next slot over from the AGP and run another monitor.
that ATI Radeon 9200 PCI looks good... about $130 from OWC.
but what I got works fine...

Cs6 doesn't recognize NVidia Card for graphics processing?

On starting up Cs6 for the first time, the program said that it doesn't recognize the NVidia GeForce 7300 GT. Is this right? Is this going to be true for the release?

That's a bummer. I had the same problem but can't remember the exact steps I took to fix it. At first it would not recognize my graphics cards because they were different (NVIDEA, RADEON), and would ONLY recognize the NVIDEA 7300. Then I updated all the drivers and swapped the order of my cards around, and changed the slot settings with the Expansion Slot utility (if you are on an older MacPro). After some tweaking they all loaded and are working well but don't have all the extra features that a new graphics card would have.

Are Macbook Pros w/ two NVIDIA cards going to get display switching?

I see that the just-released Macbook Pros have dynamic switching between their Intel and NVIDIA chipsets - will the previous generation's Macbook Pros, with their dual NVIDIA chipsets also receive this upgrade?

It should be a nice thing for the "old" MacBooks...
But I think there's some hardware issue to prevent this feature to be implemented on our MacBook Pros...

I received an email receipt for the purchase of two gift cards for $50.00 today from itunes on my account. I did not purchase these.

They were purchased using someone elses credit card too. I did have a credit card on file and they didn't use it. (Thank God!). So my account, another persons credit card with their name & address on it. So I googled the guy. Found him. I have since placed a call to him to find out the story..but I am betting it was a stolen card. I did place an email with apple. Anyone else have this experience?

It could be this...

5-screen (multi-monitor) nVidia xorg.conf -- my setup

Hi. I would like to share my xorg.conf, since it took forever to get right.
There isn't a lot of information out there for folks using > 2 monitors, or several graphics cards, or esoteric setups including rotation etc. I hope this will be useful; I wouldn't mind contributing to the wiki if anybody thinks it might be useful.
So first up: hardware. I have
nVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti connected to a 24" monitor (in the middle)
nVidia GeForce 210 connected to two 19" monitors, rotated into portrait (on either side of the 24")
nVidia GeForce GT 440 connected to two 15" monitors (above the 24")
here is a picture of the monitors, click for a bigger version
Drivers: I'm using the official nVidia drivers, I couldn't get nouveau to work. Since I am using Xinerama, the XRandR extension isn't loaded -- therefore my setup won't be suitable for people whose screen configuration changes dynamically. But I'd prefer not to use Xinerama, and even to use nouveau if possible; if anybody has a similar configuration working with nouveau, please share
Finally, the actual config itself. Here it is on pastebin.
Rotation
The correct way to rotate monitors in xorg.conf is through the metamodes option of the Screen section. On my Screen 2 and 4 (the two 19" monitors), you can see that
{ Rotation = left }
has been added at the end of the metamodes option. Contrary to some other guides floating around, it is not necessary to specify these options:
# Unnecessary
Option "RandRRotate" "on"
Option "Rotate" "right"
I believe these come from an earlier version of Xorg. They don't have any effect when I put them in my xorg.conf, using Xorg 1.12.4 and nVidia 304.43.
Even when I specified rotate in metamodes, my monitors didn't appear to rotate because I had originally written
Option "metamodes" "CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { Rotation = left} "
instead of
Option "metamodes" "DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { Rotation = left} "
This just made rotation fail silently, with no error message. Make sure to specify DFP if you're using a digital output (DVI, HDMI, DP) and CRT only if you're using a VGA output on your graphics board.
Tips
When you're testing out a new Xorg.conf, you can use
startx -- :1
to start a new X server without killing the current one. See if your configuration works, then switch back to your original X server by pressing Cmd-Alt-F7.
You should also keep a log of different configurations you have tried. You can use a version control system like git to track changes to your Xorg.conf; make sure you document every change you have made, and why, it can prove invaluable later on.
Feel free to ask about this setup. I would like to know something: what is the function of the Screen option in the Device section? On the four Device entries for my nVidia 210 and 440 cards, there is an option called Screen; when I take it out, the setup breaks. Why are they there? And why do they not map to the screen numbers in the Screen section? (They are numbered 0, 0, 1, 1 rather than 1, 2, 3, 4)

Thank you for the reply. I read the wiki page, but unfortunately I am still struggling with my two nvidia gpu, three monitor setup.
The red arrows show the pointer progression through the monitors (moving mouse left to right). When the cursor is on the top monitor, it becomes an X, and the screen is black.
Here is the matching xorg.conf

Based on this post on archlinux, I took a crack at matching the xorg.conf pattern above (monitor/device/screen sections) with my own. I took it as a victory that it actually didn't error (many xorg.conf experiments have in the last couple of days have). Here is my new xorg.conf with 3 screens/3 monitors/3 devices:

This what appears with the new xorg.conf:
"leftAcer" and "rightAcer" appear, but nothing appears on "topAcer" (it appears not to be getting a signal from the gpu). I can move the mouse pointer between "leftAcer" and "rightAcer".
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are a few details about the hardware setup:
GeForce 9600 GT is in the PCI:1 slot. It's DVI out is going to "acerLeft", it's VGA out is going to "acerRight".
GeForce GT 610 is in PCI:2 slot. It's VGA out is going to "acerTop".
thanks!

ATI Primary and Nvidia Secondary for Hardware MPE Acceleration

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this has been discovered yet. I think it is very exciting, and very important for anyone with an AMD (ATI) GPU who wants hardware MPE acceleration.
It is possible to use Hardware MPE acceleration while using an ATI video card as your primary adapter, and a lesser CUDA Nvidia GPU as a secondary adapter not connected to any monitor.
My system:
CPU: 1090T
Mobo: 890GX
RAM: 8 1333
RAID: No
GPU1: 5870
GPU2: GTS 450
As you can see, I have a Nvidia and AMD GPU in the same system. The 5870 is obviously by far the most powerful of the two, and it is what I use to record rendered footage using FRAPS.
Recently, I became aware of the powers of hardware MPE. I concluded that the best way to obtain HMPE and maintain my FRAPS recording was to purchase a GTX 480. However, this was out of my wallets league as I could not sell the 5870.
I was already aware that PhysX (A CUDA physics calculation library) could only be run on Nvidia CUDA GPUs (Like HMPE). Many Nvidia card users used secondary CUDA cards to accelerate physics calculation in games. ATI card users could not use a secondary Nvidia card for physics calculation as the Nvidia driver locked down PhysX in the presence of an active ATI GPU. Luckily a clever fellow called GenL managed to hack the Nvidia drivers to force PhysX to work in the presence of an ATI GPU.
I hypothesised that if I performed that hack, HMPE would gain access to CUDA in a similar fashion to PhysX, thus allowing me to buy a far cheaper GTS 450 and pair it as an HMPE renderer with my 5870. After buying a GTS 450, I failed at implementing the hack and was about to give up.
HMPE worked when my monitor was connected to the GTS 450, but if i tried to start PPro with the 5870 connected to any monitor HMPE was unavailable.
I had two monitors connected to my GTS 450, and was playing around with adding stupid amounts of HMPE accelerated effects to an AVCHD clip. Realising that it was impractical to constantly switch the DVI cable from 5870 to GTS 450 I decided to leave my primary monitor connected to the 5870 and give up on HMPE. So, I reached around behind my computer and did it, but crucially did not quit PPro before I did so.
When the screen flickered back to life, the yellow HMPE preview bar was still yellow. The timeline still scrubbed perfectly smoothly. HMPE was still working with a 5870 as the primary monitor: The PPro window was on the 5870 monitor, and the 5870 was rendering the window!
I found that provided I did not close PPro, I could switch between HMPE and SMPE at will, all while using the 5870 as the primary adapter.
I tested this using a 10 second composition of 3 AVCHD 1920x1080 Clips with CC, drop shadow, gaussian blur, edge feather, Basic 3D, transform, Ultra Key, drop shadow applied, rotatating amongst each other. I could still switch even if the 5870 was the only card connected to a monitor.
Rendering this test clip via PPro direct export takes 30 seconds in HMPE mode with the 5870 and 1.43 in SMPE mode with the 5870.
However: Rendering performance in AME stays the same whether I selected HMPE or SMPE. I believe this is because AME is a separate application that 're-detects' the ATI card and disables HMPE before beginning the encode, in the same manner that restarting PPro while using the 5870 removes the HMPE option. Rendering the clip in SMPE and HMPE modes using the GTS 450 gave the same 30 second vs 1.43 minute result.
Therefore, as long as you are happy to encode via direct PPro export you will still see the benefit of HMPE while using an AMD card as the primary adapter.
I hope this is as terribly excited to other users of ATI cards as it was for me. This has saved me several hundred dollars.
Cheers,
NS2HD

Interesting results. I own a system manufactured by BOXX, a system developer out of Texas who really knows their stuff. I had asked them if it would be possible to purchase a CUDA enabled card and put it in my secondary slot and use it for MPE while maintaining my current (nvidia) card to run my monitors (also giving me the ability to run four screens). They said that no, according to the Adobe developers they were working with, Premiere could only use MPE off the CUDA card if the monitor previewing your work was plugged into that card. I guess they were wrong!
Also, from my understanding, you don't see lesser results with AME because it's a separate program that starts separately, you see the lesser results because it has not yet been coded to take advantage of CUDA.
