Which graphics card should I get?

Hi Todd,
Hope it is ok to Post here.
Since pp CC has released i am looking for a suitable nvidia Card.
In a recent post i asked for Recommendation for the following:
GTX 660 ti, 670, 760 and 770.
None of this cards are officially listed by adobe. Will i have Problems with it in pp and ae cc?
Any Card you prefer?
Help Would be much appreciated!
Best,
Alex

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your reply.
My final Configuration will be the following:
Core i7-920 Quad-Core-CPU, 2,66 GHZ
25 GB RAM, 1333
SSD Disc, WD 1TB 7.200rpm 32MB Cache
+ GTX ....
I do Not need Speed for DVD Export. But general speed for mp4 and mov export would be good.I Need the GPU to keep processes fast when working with effects such as transitions, Color correction, scaling, multiple Layer and footage, etc. I also use various Plugins such ad red giants.
In AE i do all Types of tasks, also keying.
Which Card you Think Would fit best?!
I thought pp cc automarically recognizes my cards since CC?!
Tranks,
Alex

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 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!

Which graphics card should I buy

Would need some purchase assistance.
Which of these cards gives me the most performance for the money?
I need it for Red Giant software Looks 1.2 and Premiere CS4 (soon CS5) and for rendering out my 720p 25fps and 1080p 25fps CineForm files.
I also use ProCoder 3, will it help me there too?
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 1792MB PhysX CUDA
Or
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 with Elemental Accelerator
Regards
Mikael

I just found this at Red Giant home page, I guess I was not wrong after all.
Rendering
In most cases, the Looks plug-in requires rendering to generate final color-corrected output. With host applications like Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro, you can use Looks as a real-time color correction effect with the dynamic playback capabilities. With applications such as Apple Motion and Adobe After Effects, rendering is required to generate any output with Looks applied. In general, the faster the graphics card, the faster the rendering of media. NVIDIA cards are generally faster than ATI cards of the same level for HD or HDV projects."

Mikael
PS I will go by the Nvidia path now for sure, but keep my other cards ATI cards for later:-)

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.

Which video card should I get?

Just got a BMPCC, and I shoot in raw. I color grade in Resolve and transfer it over to Premiere and I notice that Premiere and Resolve are laggin.
My system:
i7 3960x
16 GB Ram
nVidia 480 GTX
3x raided SSD's (don't know the read our write speed on the top of my head)
Never had problems with premiere till recently. I'm thinking it's the video card, and probably the rams (prob going to upgrade to 32 gb.)
I'm willing to spend $200-$500. From what I've been reading on Google, Cuda works a lot better in premiere then AMD's OpenCL. Obviously, the less the price, the better. I bought the GTX 480 when it was about 2 generations old, but I bought it because of the price compared to performance.
Also, looking to get into After Effects. So any card that is balanced between Premiere and Effects would be great.
Any recommendations would be appreciated!
edit: I'm using all Adobe CC programs.

Which graphics card should I choose?

I am finally going to get a new Mac next month when Leopard is released, after 4 years of wonderful performance by my "old reliable" MDD G4. But with all the new apps from Adobe, and a lot of the new apps from other companies, the old girl is getting long in the tooth and is getting slower and slower. The beach ball is my constant companion.
I do a lot of illustration work and my file sizes range up to 500 MB or so. They average around 150MB. Most are high resolution multi-layer psd files. Anyway, I was wondering if I need to spend the extra money for the ATI Radeon X1900 XT. I am not a gamer, although I do occasional video editing (mainly as a hobby) in Final Cut Express. Any advice/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks Bud, now we can close the topic with your ultra minimalistic post..the circus is complete now
BTW more memory does not change the video performances in some cases; the main memory is used from the processor, not from the video card anymore; that's the reason why the modern video card comes with 512 Mb of ddr3 ram or more; if the application is old it will try to drive the memory on board instead of the one on the video card, so from your point of view it would be irrilevant to have more or less memory; but for sure you wanna have the best amount of ram on your video card; and at this point ATi is the way to go, also because the video chip is a level higher than the Nvidia chip.
I use 3d applications, so i need a lot of memory because when i render is the main processor that do the job, not the video card (that displays the preview and the interface of the application), so in cases like this (and like when you use audio/video applications like adobe or final cut or stuff like that) you want to have a lot of memory, even if is not used by the process due the memory allocation problems, for one single reason: if you load a couple of images or movies in an applicaiton, it is copied in RAM to speed up the process, so even if the program itself can drive only 2 GB, the process goes faster because teh entire material is stored in memory (but treated based on how much data can be handled from the software).
sorry, had to do the clown show once more (now let me get my masks and leave the stage LOL)

I am running Lion and Trying to find which is better as I know from experience not all cards are created equal. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have some comments and a suggestion:
Have you tried your setup with a SD/CF combo card reader (like the Lexar or Kingston FCR-H63)? Does the card appear on the desktop when first plugged in?
Did you need to fool around with any kind of power issues in installing this card in the x4 PCIe slot of the MacPro?
Suggestion. Have you tried one of the fixed in this article to cure the BT issues in MacPro 3,1?
Good luck.

Which graphics card with a new 24"?

I come to the all-wise gurus of the Apple Discussion board seeking knowledge and direction. <lol>
Now that I have the formalities out of the way:
I am considering a new 24" iMac and am wondering which graphics card I should get. What are the advantages/disadvantages between the standard "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory" or the "NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory"?
I will use the mac primarily for home use, creating DVDs, working with iPhoto (only hobbyist) and the like. I would also like to have the ability to extend the desktop by hooking up a mini-DVI adapter and an external monitor eventually. I might run a PC emulation app or BootCamp, but I don't know that I'll be a "gamer".
Thanks in advance for any advice.
-Bret

My two cents is that if you can afford it, go with the upgraded card. You never know where your interest will take you and, while I love my 24" iMac (late 07 model), I do lament about the fact that you can't really upgrade components such as the video card or the hard drive. You can solve the hard drive issue with external storage but you are basically stuck with the video card that you get at the time of order.
I know, not really sage advice but that's my take on it. By the way, the 24" rocks so whichever way you go you will enjoy!

What kind of graphics cards can I get?

I have a Compaq Presario CQ50 107NR
My graphics card is GeForce 8200M G
I need a better graphics card but I do not know what is compatible with the laptop. Can someone give me a list of upgraded graphics cards I can get? I am wanting to play Diablo 3 but my card is too weak.

Hi:
The video adapters are not upgradable without replacing the entire motherboard. The only motherboard I see with better graphics has the GeForce 9200M, which I doubt will be much better.
You would be better off selling or trading your notebook in and buying one with the graphics solution you are looking for.

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.

Which Graphics Card for a 40 inch HDTV LCD or Plasma Monitor for the best

Which Graphics Card for a 40 inch HDTV LCD or Plasma Monitor for the best value and price?
Hi, I was wondering if I replace my current standard graphics card for a MacPro Early 2008 for a graphics card for a 40" HDTV, which was is the best for the price and value? My current card when used with such a large monitor/ TV isn't very good, I think? So thinking of updating...

This sounds like a price match question. Without knowing all the details, it sounds like a yes for the Westinghouse, but I would encourage you to read the price match policy link here:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/Bestbuy.com-Price-Match-Guarantee/pcmcat204400050011.c?id=pc...
If all you care about is 1080p definition and an HDMI input at a $300 price point then this tv should suit your needs. (As a bonus it has 120Hz refresh for smoother action scenes.)http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Westinghouse+-+40%26%2334%3B+Class+-+LCD+-+1080p+-+120Hz+-+HDTV/5772998....

Which graphics card for G4 MDD and 30" display?

Hi folks,
I would really appreciate any help with this as I am confused by what graphics cards are out there. I have a G4 MDD dual 867, 1.75GB RAM, which currently has an NVIDIA GeForce4MX (32MB VRAM) in its AGP slot and an old ATI card (32MB VRAM) in a PCI slot. Each card is driving a 17" Dell CRT display. Not brilliant for a freelance illustrator but it does the job for now....
I really want to get a 30" Cinema display (I am a scientific illustrator working digitally for print, using Photoshop & Illustrator mainly) but I don't know what graphics card I can get that will work in my Mac (it has 3 free PCI slots, but not PCI Express) and reliably support the 30" display at a suitable resolution. I have been trying to research this but have got stumped by the options. I asked in the London Apple Store but they implied I would be better off getting a whole new Mac... rather not spend quite that much money at the moment.
Or would I be better off getting two 23" displays? Which cards can run these in my Mac?
Any help gratefully received - thank you!
Debbie.

Hi Debbie-
You can support a 30" Cinema Display with a graphics card that has a dual link DVI output. The ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC and Mac version has a dual link DVI and will work in your 4x AGP MDD.
The 9600 has two DVI ports, so it will also allow use of two 23" Cinema Displays, without adapters.

Which graphics card will my MBP be using in bootcamp?

Hey guys I'm considering installing bootcamp on my MBP. It has Intel HD4000 and Nvidia gt 650m. I was wondering which graphics card it would be using in bootcamp. THanks

Windows will only use your dedicated graphic card, in this case, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, because the integrated graphic card can't be used (there are problems with the GPU switch in Windows).
After installing Windows, install the most recent driver for your GPU from the NVIDIA site > http://www.nvidia.com
