What workstation graphics card should i run under bootcamp?

I run Rhino (64 bit) with windows 7 through bootcamp. the software mfg's recomended graphics card is the AMD FirePro v7900 or v5900, and user group recos the nvidea quadro 4000. I am currently using an Nvidea gtx285 and driving two displays from it. Looking to upgrade both memory and video card for optimal performance.

Mixing nVidia and ATI under Windows is usually a no=go.
The FirePro is single slot and 150W so only needs 1 x 6-pin power cable.
Amazon has $790 or $100 more than the v7900 NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac
I take it the GTX 285 doesn't work well enough?
If you don't care about early boot screen there are GTX 570/580 take up two slots.
some upgrade ideas:
Put Windows on an SSD and put your work data files on another drive.
is 2008 model uses FBDIMMs 8 x 4GB is max - 8 DIMMs though is ideal.
Crucial Technology CT2CP51272AP80E 8 GB
DDR3 (2009+) 24GB costs what 8GB FBIMM would.

What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

Hello Andres. I own an Early Mac Pro 2008, and have had the blessing of using both FCP X & Motion 5 for some time now. This is a pritty open question and it depends on your usage and the throughput nessesary to handle your work load. I can share what my set up is, & it may help you deside if this is enough power for you or help you move in another direction. Keep in mind that the buss speed and cpu are a big part of helping FCP X more so than the video card, although the video card does come into play here as well. Now if you are wanting to run Motion 5 as well, the video card is Almost Everything, and you need the biggest and best situation here that the throughput on this system will except. I'm running 14 gig of system ram, and the video card is an ATI Radeon 5870. For FCP X, running 1920x1280p footage optimised in pro-res 422, she can move along with some render time nessesary when dropping on the timeline, also filters, transistions, titles ex, have a bit of a laps time to render, but then she runs ok. This wait is not as much of a challenge with this set up as with Motion. I need a much bigger gpu on the video card for this app. Not sure if this computers throughput is really worth the upgrade. Beleive this though, Motion is demanding on using ALL you can give it. It is a Genious App, and it also calls for ALL THE POWER YOU CAN GIVE HER IN A VIDEO CARD. Conclution: if you are just starting which it sounds like, even a smaller video card than this can work For FCP X. Make sure you have at least 8 gig of cpu ram. 12 or more will help here. Also make sure the card is OpenCL compadible.....& this is in the thread above,,,,,,,,

What is a recommended Graphics card for G4MDD running tiger and sometimes..

What is a recommended Graphics card for G4MDD running tiger and sometimes 9.2.2
I really need to have both in accelerated mode, looking at my stats I currently have 9000 PRO with 64mb ram... don't need it for games but high end graphics applications currently using Starta Pro 2.5.3 on 9.2.2 which for my current purposes is afficient

The 9600 runs like crap in OS 9.2.2 with any ATI software you can find because ATI never wrote OS 9 drivers for the 9600. OS 9 ATI software does not recognize the card. You get a basic 2D monitor output that is soft, dull, slightly off-color, and cannot be enhanced with the Monitor's Control Panel calibration utility.
If you spend any amount of time in OS 9.2.2 or you want to use OS 9.2.2 for any of your old games (even 2-D video clip type games), don't get the 9600.
I have a 9600 installed in my MDD G4 and now have an original Radeon for Mac PCI video card installed as well. When I want to use any of my OS 9 games, I move the DVI cable from my LCD monitor over to the old Radeon card and restart.

Hi there. I am in the process of choosing a laptop to load elements 11 on.Putting minimum requirements aside, is there any advantage in getting a dedicated as opposed to an integrated graphics card, would it run faster on an i5 as opposed to an i3 process

Hi there. I am in the process of choosing a laptop to load elements 11 on.Putting minimum requirements aside, is there any advantage in getting a dedicated as opposed to an integrated graphics card, would it run faster on an i5 as opposed to an i3 processor and does a screen resolution of more than 1024 x 768 make any diference in elements 11? What should I be looking for to enable elements 11 to work efficiently without over specing? thanks folks !

PSE doesn't make big demands on the graphics card, but you want a screen that is at least 800 px tall to be able to use all the features. Some things, like the raw converter, may not appear at less than that.

What mobile graphics cards are supported for either CUDA or OpenCL?

Howdy. I currently render on a desktop, but work requires me to render on a laptop - for that reason, they've given me a small budget to pay for one.
My biggest concern is that I have access to OpenCL or CUDA rendering - there's easily a 10x difference between rendering with it and rendering without it, and they need the rapid response.
I'm wondering what mobile graphics cards can be used for mobile graphics rendering - and if I can do it with Intel graphics. Doing so would make hunting for a laptop significantly cheaper.

I thought the bottom limit was 1GB for CC, so that must be why the sniffer tells you of insufficient memory

HP C309 G AIO can't install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp

HP C309 G Printer wont install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp on a new iMac
Just bought a new iMac. Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side. I am also running Windows 7 on iMac through a program called Bootcamp. When I boot to Windows 7 and try to install the newly downloaded software for windows 7 from the HP site, it begins to load then stops, giving me two error messages. They are both essentially the same except one says software and the other says hardware. The software one says: This computer does not have the necessary USB software support to allow completion of a USB installation. The printer plugs directly into the monitor in one of four usb ports. All the usb ports work on the system when using Windows 7. I have other devices working and plugged into the usb ports while in Windows 7. It is almost like the printer software is unable to find the usb software or hardware. Any ideas

Well, you have a full Window's 7 install so you would really have to go to HP and/or Microsoft to see what is going on. Bootcamp basically is only involved with "booting" and just installs Apple product drivers and such. Just treat the Window's side as if you are using it on a "normal" Window's PC. (As far as problems, crash's, updates, or any other Windows, HP, etc, problems you may have.)
"Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side."
So,,, that means the printer "works" (prints) on the Mac or the installer just worked? Make sure the Printer actually prints in the Mac side as you may have a dead USB port on the Printer. It happens.
If your HP works fine (prints) in the Apple environment you know it's not the USB ports on either the printer or the computer.
You said you already downloaded the newer versions, have you tried using the drivers on the install disk and then update them to the newer ones? Also if you haven't yet, make sure the drivers are for the 64bit version, just a thought.
That's about all my brain cells have so good luck.......

What graphics card should I put in my Pavilion 23t AIO to run Battlefield 3?

The graphics card in the Pavilion 23t isn't suited for gaming, which another person has already told me, so I'm wondering which graphics card and/or other parts should I replace in my computer in order to be able to play games like Team Fortress 2 or Battlefield 3 smoothly.

BH,
It's very likely the user does not know the actual model #. The faceplate on the monitor is 23tm. Needs to look on the backside for the model # or actual product #. Either way, there is no physical means of changing out the CPU or GPU. The AIO series were never meant to be gamer's delight.

What video card should I run ?

I just bought an imac core duo and I cannot open final cut express. I get an error message stating that I need an AGP graphics card. What kind works well and can I install it in an imac?

Changing the video card would not work and in any case I don't think it could be done on the iMac.
You may be able to get FCE to work by reading this article:-
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=335392&tstart=0
However, even if you get it to work it is likely to be slow and unsatisfactory.
Your best course of action is to wait until the end of March when Apple is introducing a new version of FCE that will run on both the old and the new Macs.
You will be able to upgrade (if you have FCE HD) or buy new.

What graphics card should I get?

I have a "late 2004" powermac g5. I've upgraded to Tiger and Ilife 08. IMovie is not running well enough with my current configuration. But that may be a moot point because I just tried out Final Cut Express at the Apple Store and like it far better than Imovie (I even liked IMovie HD better than '08).
I've upgraded to 3GB of ram. My video card is GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 64MB DDR SDRAM . I've been told by OWC (Other World Computing) that I could get a ATI Radeon 9200 with 128MB and it would fit my machine. Can someone tell me if that will be enough for movie editing with Final Cut on my G5? That is, without jerkiness in the video playback while editing?
I also called ATI and was told that I could use a ATI X800 XT mac edition (256MB), but they no longer sell the card. Will that card work in my machine? If so, can I get that card without spending a fortune (Amazon lists it for almost $500)? And how can I be assured that it will work and do the job?
If it's important, I'm currently using a 15" CRT monitor more than 10 years old. Some day I will replace it, though I don't know with what.
Thanks!
Ps. Does anyone if Final Cut needs more video card memory than Imovie? Or less? I've seen Imovie on my machine, but not Final Cut.

I wonder if that could be true for IMovie, too? If so, it would seem that my problem is not due to the graphics card.
The people at the Apple Store Genius Bar told me that imovie was heavy on the graphics card and thought that final cut would be similar.
Thanks a lot for the reply!

What graphic cards can I run on my PC?

I have recently bought this PC and have been using it for gaming. Unfortunately, my PC is only running games like,skyrim, at 20 frames per second or maybe 25. I was recomended to get a better graphics card but I have no idea which my PC can run. This is why I am asking the forum. Here is my computer model: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=5330783&spf...
I have made no modifications...

I would recommend you go here first, study the recommendations, and then consider your choices. Another articles would be here, about the UEFI BIOS. About cards, although the recommendation was a GTX260 (outdated), I spec'd a GTX670, see here with better performance. You still need a min of 500W PSU, and I like to follow the power curves, and selected a PSU in the 600-630W range. I like Rosewill 630 and Corsair CX600.

What graphics card should I get for video editing?

I recently purchased a G5 2.3ghz,Canon GL2 camcorder and Final Cut Express HD. Does any one have any suggestions on a good graphics card? I was thinking of buying a radeon 9800pro or would I be better off with the Radeon X800 XT.

Hi,
Firstly the card may work properly and the monitor may go to sleep after 1 hr or the power option (even it does not have battery) may turn the screen off after 1 hour. What is the model of your machine actually, for example the following link shows one model (HP TouchSmart 610-1150y):
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02861058#N155
Upgrading/replacing video card on AIO machines is relative simpler than on laptops BUT finding the RIGHT card could be very difficult.
Regards.

What upgrade graphic card do i need for a early 2008 mac pro

I have a early 2008 Mac Pro. ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB is what i have now. What is a good upgrade graphic card to get.

The GTX 780 6GB runs fine on the dual PCIe internal power cables -- as does the GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7950. The same can't be said of the GTX TITAN or GTX 780 Ti or Radeon R9 280X -- all of which require an auxiliary power feed to avoid a nasty power down of your tower at the worst moment when too much wattage is demanded of the Mac Pro's factory power supply.
Did I mention that the GTX 780 with 6GB of GDDR5 matches the 6GB of GDDR5 in the TITAN?
The one fallacy to my 'sweet spot' award has to do with OpenCL. In case you hadn't noticed, the AMD Radeon GPUs smoked the NVIDIA GeForce GPUs running Photoshop's OpenCL accelerated Iris Blur filter and rendering LuxMark's OpenCL accelerated Room scene.
- http://www.barefeats.com
So depends on budget, whether you want a PC card for less but no "early EFI boot screen" prior to drivers loading, and what apps and needs you have.
The one thing for sure is that 2600XT should have been retired ages ago and even more so with 10.8.3 and above, it could be trouble or just... PITA/POS.

Is an Intel HD Graphics 5000 graphics card ok to run premier pro?

I'm looking to buy a new iMac desktop. Due to a small budget, I am looking a purchasing the 21.5 inch, 1.4GZ, dual-core iNtel Core i5 with 8 GB memory and the Intel HD Graphics 5000 graphics card. The reason I am buying the desktop is to upgrade my workflow. I am currently using a MacBook Pro with a Intel Graphics 4000. Would buying this iMac be a big upgrade? I am looking for the best I can possibly get.

It's all a great big family http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA but with different capabilities and speeds.
In essence your HD Graphics 3000 should be compatible and capable of running Sims-3.
Nonetheless it might be neccessary for the developer to release a patch/update.

What replacement graphics card for Mac Pro1.1

My NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT card is producing various screen artifacts and freezing on startup,
but not in safe boot mode. From reading this forum and posts for a couple of days I've concluded
that I need to replace my card and am thinking that the +ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Upgrade Kit+
+for Mac Pro (Early 2009 or Early 2008)+ from the Apple site is the one to get.
I should add that I've tried all the usual fixes in case it wasn't a hardware problem. My question is
will the card work with my system (only Apple and Adobe software running OS 10.5.8 and one 20" Dell monitor).
Now I know this question has been asked and answered many times but I seems to work for some
and not for others that's why I ask again mentioning my particular setup in case that has some
importance.
Thanks in anticipation of any advice.

How did you get on with your graphics card replacement?
My original Nvidia GeForce 7300GT is on its way out but I'm reluctant to pay nearly £300 for a replacement. Are there any other options available to me?
