What GPU is better for AE6 - nVidia GTX 775m or nVidia GTX 780m

Sorry to ask - I can't find anything conclusive for this question and I've been searching for an answer above. I've check this forum (among several others) and have found some answers, but none of them really conclusively answer my question.
I'm looking to buy an 2013 imac 27inch
3.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB (will upgrade post purchase via crucial)
512GB Flash Storage
and I'm primarily going to animate and video edit on the machine - I just don't know if it's really worth spending the extra cash on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5 or settle for the standard NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5?
Any help anyone?
Best Wishes
James

The GPU doesn't matter much for After Effects itself. If you're using Photoshop or Premiere Pro or some plug-ins like Element 3D, then GPU matters more for them.
The more VRAM, the better, though, so I'd personally go with the card with 4GB.
Details about how After Effects uses the GPU are here:

What GPU to get for CS6 + Are SSDs worth it for editing?

My current computer is an old dell xps 7100
Phenom x4 830 (Yes I know, I'd love to get an intel 3770k or something but I'm pretty strapped for cash)
Some tiny amd gpu, not sure which (can use gpu-z if really needed)
12gb ram
1 500gb hdd
The machine is really slow and the hard drive is filled up a lot, so I'm thinking of re-installing windows (possibly windows 8 for the faster boots and all) and clearing all of the junk. My other problem is that premiere and after effects are really slow, since its a pretty weak processor with no MPE acceleration. I have around $300 to spend on some upgrades, but I'm not sure which one to get.
I was thinking of buying a gtx660, since it has 2gb vram (which is better for more complicated projects I think?) and is really fast and a good value for gaming, which I also do. I could also get a gtx 650 and spend the rest on some HDDs for a raid, or maybe an SSD. Or I could buy a gtx 670 or 660 ti if they're really worth it. I haven't needed to use more than 8gb beforehand in projects, so I don't think i'll need to upgrade to like 32gb or anything crazy like that.
My main question is how much would the gpu acceleration accelerate everything? Would I just be bottlenecked by my cpu and hard drive? And If I did a raid array (raid 0), or got a SSD how much would that speed stuff up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and sorry if I put this in the wrong forum or something. First post here.
PS I read that cs6 is actually slower for exporting some stuff? Should I just use cs5 or cs4? I could just render the few things i need in cs6 first and do the rest in cs5 (like motion tracking and such). Or am i just overcomplicating stuff.

Hi Randal,
You are absolutely correct. I was getting the specs off the data sheet I have here and it was for the OEM version of the GTX 560 which has higher specs. I have so many video cards here, I guess I need to sort them out as OEM and non-OEM cards and keep them stored in different rooms.   lol.
As far as the GT 640, on an AMD system quad core, it did produce faster times than the GT440, even though the GT440 has a wider memory bandwidth.   That one is strange. HOWEVER, on an Intel quad core, the GT 640 was slower. Go figure.
Right now I am running tests with a GTX650 and a GTX 650 Ti.   So far the GTX 650 Ti is better than the GTX650 for rendering. Even though they are both 128 bit cards, they seem to work well in an AMD system.
As far as the GTX 560 non Ti holding back your system, I can see that. I am just finishing up building a new animation rendering system based on the AMD FX-6300 chip, so I am lookng forward to testing the various video cards I have here with it.   It was a budget build system, as I pulled the HD's, DVD drive, keyboard and mouse from an old system. It is NOT being used as a Premiere editing system, just for rendering animations with ProAnimator, Lightwave and a few other programs. But, I will use it to test video cards with.

Two small corrections, Dave:
The non-Ti GTX 560 actually has only 336 CUDA cores, not 384 (that belongs to the GTX 560 Ti). Also, the GF114-derived GeForce GPUs have only a 256-bit memory interface width, not a 320-bit memory interface width. However, the 128.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is correct for a reference GTX 560 (Ti or non-Ti).
On the other hand, the GTX 650 does have 384 CUDA cores (same number as the GT 640 since both are based on the same GK107 core). But it runs at a slightly higher clock speed, has a 128-bit memory interface width and 80 GB/s memory bandwidth (versus 28.5 GB/s memory bandwidth for the GT 640).
In any case, the GTX 560 non-Ti is definitely holding back my i5-2400 auxiliary editing rig.

What antivirus is better for those who work with mac and windows?

In my home I use an iMac, but in college I use Windows, and more than once I found an infected file. I know not affect iMac, but I prefer that viruses are removed. Right now I use ClamXv, but I don't know if it is effective.
Am I to continue using ClamXv? or, do I use another?
If there are others better AV for mac, what is most recommended?
**I have also used Sophos, but it makes the iMac go very slow.
Thanks for your attention.

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to your computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandboxing security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders," for example, are outside the safe harbor, though not all are malware.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
There is an increasing tendency for rogue websites such as "Softonic" and "CNET Download" to distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous installer that also installs malware or something else that you don't want. Never visit those sites, and get all freeware directly from the developer's own site whenever possible.
Software attached to email that you didn't request is unsafe, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
Software advertised by means of spam is unsafe.
Unknown "free" software that a stranger on the Internet is eager for you to download is unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will inevitably result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Doing any of the things alluded to above should make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. New threats are emerging on a daily basis. Research has shown that most successful attacks are "zero-day" — that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based malware scanners do not defend against such attacks.
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not completely effective. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular trojan it is, but do you really care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every unknown email attachment until proven otherwise.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. "Hmmmm, this torrent is a crack of that new game I want. I think I'll download it. It could be a trojan, but the antivirus will warn me if it is." Then they wonder why their Mac is so slow all of a sudden. It's slow because it's running flat out mining bitcoins for a hacker who has already sold their credit card number and banking passwords to a criminal gang. Maybe a week later the antivirus does warn them, but what good does that do?
Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

What organizer is better for Mac, iPhoto or Elements 12?

This is somewhat of a re-post because I could not find a way to respond to a reply.
Right now I have duplicate libraries and want to go to one Library. I am trying to figure out the best way to go. It looks like I can get the same kind of organization as in the Elements organizer with iPhoto Smart Albums but I didn't know if I could import PSD files to iPhoto and Barbara B. says that iPhoto does not like PSD files.
So if I want to be able to save in PSD I need to stay with the Elements Organizer and Editor.
To make my best decision I want to know what I am loosing in general Macbook utility if I eliminate iPhoto and go with the Elements Organizer. I have only had my Mac for a few months but I see that iPhoto drops photos in programs like Keynote very easily. If I stay with the Elements Organizer will I loose some utility or will I be able to drag and drop everything I need to simply?
I am asking the question because I have space problems with my 9K photos now. I only want to delete one of these libraries once and want to make the right choice.
Thank you.

Well, the right one is the one that works best for you. I'll start by saying that in real life I don't use either one, because I dislike asset management programs, so I have no dog in this fight.
The advantages of iphoto are that it's much better integrated into OS X, has much nicer options for slideshows and projects, and is generally a more polished performer than organizer.
The advantages of organizer are that you can save as many versions as you like, that your photos aren't in a proprietary library (you can just file>open in any program to get at an organizer photo), and it gives you more options for working with raw.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Two other options to consider would be aperture and lightroom, too.
It's not something that anyone can answer for you. It depends so much on how you like to work.

Make sure you use a 10.5.6 retail or older 10.5.4, 10.5.1, or 10.5.0 retail if installing 10.5.
Note that Mac will not boot into 9, and will lose access to Classic under the Mac OS X 10.5 boot. For more on updating to 10.5 including the retail disc description, see this tip:

What is the difference between Firefox and Firefox os please. I have a Samsung galaxy s3 mini what one would you recommend would be better for my phone

What is the difference between Firefox and Firefox os, and what one is better for the Samsung galaxy s3 mini, Please could you recommend which one is the best and most suitable for my phone please. Many thanks Michelle Petch

Thank you for your question.
Firefox is basically a browser.And Firefox OS is an Operating System.You can install Firefox in your SGS3 just like an android application.But if you want Firefox operating system on it. then you have to flash the ported Firefox OS on your device. Then it will be a completely different standalone operating system.you cannot install android applications on it.
To read more technical difference read:

What GPU can I upgrade to that will work with my computer?

Hello, I am lookign to upgrade my GPU in my HP H8-1234. About a year and half ago I upgraded my Radeon hd 7450 to a XFX radeon hd 7750. The card worked well, just for what I am doing with it (Gaming) it doesn't work as well as I would like. So I recently ordered a Gigabyte gtx 660, at the time I did not know about the bios locks that HP puts on their computers. So now I have the GPU sitting on my desk, useless. Luckily I can return it with no restock fee. The problem with it is that it boots, and then just sits on this screen that say press ESC to enter setup, or something like that. By the way my motherboard is a m3970am-hp. So I guess I have 2 questions.
1) Is there anything I can do to use the 660?
2) Assuming that the 660 is useless to me, what GPU is better than my 7750, and is compatible with my motherboard?

Hi,
You didn't indicate that you had upgraded your power supply. You need a 500+ watt power supply to power the 660 watt.
If you had already upgraded your power supply then it's possible that the NVIDIA 660 was flashed for UEFI mode. Your PC is running in legacy mode since you are running WIndows 7. You can verify legacy mode is enabled in the bios. If this is the case then RMA the NVIDIA 660 back to the video card manufacturer and request that it be flashed or exchanged for a NVIDIA 660 that will run in non-UEFI mode (legacy mode).

Photoshop on Windows or Mac? What system is better?

Hi I'm thinking on buying new laptop mostly to create stuff in Photoshop, sometimes After Effects videos and to update my community blog [link removed by moderator]
My friend is saying that I should buy Mac Book because it will work better and faster etc. even with 8GB of RAM. Is it true? Windows Laptops with 16GB of RAM are much more cheaper than Apple... What will be better for me? Thanks in advance.

Which Platform is better may change over time. When Photoshop first started you did not have a choice. Thomas developed Display for the Mac and demonstrated it to Adobe and Photoshop history began. That was back around 1990 it was Mac Only I think Adobe began to market a Windows version in 1992. At the time both platforms were nowhere near as robust as they are today. Mac OS 7 and 9 where poor and buggy and windows was full of bugs. Mac were using the Power PC processor and PC lintel 8088 family. Intel the came out with 386 that gave PC mainframe features and Windoes NT and Windows 2000 were developed PC were becoming of age. Steve Jobs returned to Apple and IBM would not produce a power efficient PowerPC for Steve's desired laptop had also use Unix for his Nextstep adventure and knew its virtues. So in a single step he abandoned Apples's OS and the PowerPC. processor. So now Apple Mac and IBM compatible PC are using the same hardware Processors. Both platforms have a robust OS these days both are preemptive multitasking systems. Mac OS base design is Unix like. Unix was developed by AT&T Lucent lab in the 1960 time-frame for the PDP 11. Design to be modular and portable where code would be easy to developed using simple module using pipe-ing data just flows input to output. Apple is more controlling then Microsoft IMO neither are open system but Apple seems more closed then Microsoft to me. This has advantages and disadvantages. Application operation constrain to work the way Apple dictates users get a more consistent environment but less software and Hardware less upgradable. Photoshop on both platform run into problem easily seen just read through this forum. I use windows for I had to at work and a gained a lot of knowledge about windows over the years. I'm not about to change. I also had to use Apple OS 7 and 9 for a little while. If you going to use computers you will have to learn quite a bit about the OS installed on it. All computers need to be maintained and backed up. If you only going to use one application you may be able to get a turn key system. Find the best products for the jobs you need to do. You may find you need more then one machine and OS.

What´s better for work CS6 video production, Nvidia 680GTX Classified or Nvidia Quadro K5000?

What GPU for Creative Cloud 2014?

Hello,
what GPU do you recommend for the Adobe Crative Cloud 2014. I work mostly with Premiere and Photoshop.
Is a Cuda-based card better than an OpenCL-Card (Nvidia vs. AMD)?
Appreciating every answer!
Greetings!

I'm sure that more technically-minded users will give you a more in-depth explanation.
Essentially, Premiere CC 2014 (and now AE CC2014) is optimised to use Cuda (Mercury Playback acceleration ) for certain processes, thereby alleviating the load on the CPU...

Mercury, CUDA, and what it all means

Black Screen (source and preview) when using GPU acceleration (CUDA) [NVidia GTX 780M]

Hi guys!
I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on Windows 7 (Ult) on a machine equipped with NVidia GTX 780M (4 GB VRAM) graphics card. The source and the preview monitors are both black if I select GPU accelerated rendering. There is a yellow bar above the timeline clips, I can hear the sound tracks, but there is no image. If I choose the Software Only rendering (CPU) then I do see the image as well, but the real-time playback and rendering times are awful!
At first, the application would not allow me to use the GPU acceleration using NVidia’s CUDA processing. Once I entered my video card name in the “cuda_supported_cards.txt” file in the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 folder I was able to choose between Mercury Playback Engine Software Only and Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration CUDA.
I tried downgrading the video card driver to the previous stable version and reinstall Pr – no go. How do I make Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 work with my NVidia GTX 780M video card?
Your insight is appreciated!
P.S. I used to work on a different machine equipped with NVidia GTX 670M card (which is also missing from the officially supported Pr CS6 cards list) and I never had any issues of this nature with that laptop.

Hi there,
As stated before, I had the same problem. Apparantly the solution for me was to check the Nvidia settings. My setup has both an onboard GPU and a Nvidia GPU (on purpose specifically for video editing and gaming). Normally the system should switch to Nvidia automatically. However, the Nvidia settings for Premiere where set to favor the onboard GPU. After changing this. everything works fine again!
kind regards. Bart

Update for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB for MacPro3.1 primo 2008?

Has there been an update for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB for MacPro3.1 primo 2008?
I have had the MacPro restarts due to internal problems and the fault report going to Apple shows it is the N NVIDIA GeForce GTX creates the problems.
I am running Apple products like Aperture 3.5.1 iTunes 11 etc…
Besides the cresting the overall performance is SLOW

Dear Ms. Andersen:
Evga handles GeForce GTX 680 MX. Apple has nothing to do with it. However, I can try to help you a little bit
go here for Evga's Mac support: http://www.evga.com/support/download/default.aspx
This is one of those video cards that needs 2 power cables connected to the mother board for it to work propertly. It needs 195 watts of power, which the PCI-E slot will not provide on its own. If you have the power cables connected up okay, then the only advice I can give you is to telephone EVGA and see about a possible replacement. Apple's policy, as I understand it, is to replace same with same, even if you have the money and are willing to pay extra. This is a 3rd party video card and as such, Apple is not responsible for any problems wth it. I don't understand either: based on my knowledge of Norwegian, your screen size is 1280x800 and your bit depth is 32 bit, and you have 2 gigs Vram, so you should have no problem.
maybe you have a bad card
good luck to you

CUDA drivers for Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M

Hi, may I know if my current display card supports CUDA driver and if not would it be possible to download the driver and install it manually from Nvidia's website without conplicating the system?
My iMac specs:
3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Nvidia GeForece GTX 780M 4096MB
1TB Fusion Drive
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Marc

Yes, your iMac does support CUDA. The other responder is incorrect in this situation. I have the same model and installed the CUDA driver with Preference Pane from NVIDIA. I have the Neat Video Denoiser plugin for FCPX and it states that it will be faster and more efficient if the GPU parallel processing is enabled with the NVIDIA CUDA driver for Mac. It works like a charm and is only utilized by apps that can use it. Regarding the other respondent, yes, generally you want to install things from the Mac App Store, but that does not mean there are cases where you need or wish to install special apps, preference panes, etc that are not part of OS X or available in the App Store. The CUDA driver is one of them. It's entirely safe to install and will significantly boost your performance in apps that support parallel GPU computation.

CUDA for Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M

Hi, I encountered an prompt message from AE CC when I start the software saying this:
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.
Therefore, I need some answers on whether I can download CUDA driver on Nvidia Geforce GTX 780M.
I am running on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1, specs are as follow:
3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Nvidia GeForece GTX 780M 4096MB
1TB Fusion Drive

How do you set your comp's to use the standard renderer only?
In the advanced tab of your composition settings. More info here.
If you really need 3d in After Effects and don't have time to learn C4D (although, you should make time because it's a powerful program and it's free with AE), you could get a third-party plugin like Element 3d (which is amazing) or these tried and true methods.

What GPU is better for AE6 - nVidia GTX 775m or nVidia GTX 780m
