Why my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M does not support GPU in After Effects

I use Adobe After Effects. How do I get the video card enable GPU?

Although this card is not specifically mentioned in the hardware spec for After Effects this does not mean it wont be able to use GPU graphics rendering.
See the the adobe GPU information page for more details: GPU Features in After Effects

Problem with Matrox Mini, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, Premiere 5.5.2 and After Effects CS5.5

Hello,
We have a couple video workstation PC's in our office.
Premiere and After Effects have been crashing lately with increasing frequency - about every two minutes now.
Here is the setup:
Hardware
Matrox Mini - Matrox Utility release 5.5.1
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 - Driver release 275.33
Intel Xeon X5660 2.8 GHz processors
24 GB Ram
Software
Adobe CS5.5, specifically...
After Effects 10.5.0.253
Premiere 5.5.2
Windows 7 64-bit
We have two 21" LCD monitors in dual display running from the computer, and the Matrox Mini outputs a preview signal to a 15" CRT.
The crashes occur when I have After Effects and Premiere open at the same time. I am editing in a Matrox 720p29.97 timeline in Premiere. I imported several compositions from AE into Premiere through Dynamic Link and am matching audio with the animations in comps. When I switch back to AE to make an edit in the comp, After Effects generates a crash warning and then gives me the opportunity to save the project under a new name. After saving, it closes down completely. The Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel in the system tray crashes during AE's crash, disabling the preview to the CRT from Premiere and AE. Since the Premiere sequence is a Matrox preset - in order to have output to the CRT - this freezes the timeline; the video and audio no longer play. When I save and then try to close Premiere, Premiere freezes and will not close without a force quit via the Task Manager.
In order to deal with this temporarily, I am editing in an AVCHD 720p30 sequence preset in Premiere, which doesn't send a preview feed to the CRT, obviously, since it's not a Matrox preset and the CRT is connected via the Matrox Mini. It's more than a minor inconvenience, since I use the CRT for color accuracy.
It is frustrating, since we did not have this problem until the recent CS5.5.2 update. We have tried changing drivers for the GTX 570 and changing the Matrox utility software to other versions, but no luck.
Is there a combination of GTX 570 drivers, Matrox software releases, and AE/Premiere settings that will make this work? I know there are "Known Issue" posts with Nvidia cards on Matrox's website, which include the GTX 570, but, again, this problem started with the Adobe CS5.5.2 update.
Any help here would be great, and I am willing to provide more information about the system and our crashes if it helps find a solution for the community, as I know this is not an isolated problem after reading Nvidia's, Matrox's, and Adobe's forums. I just can't find a hollistic solution on any of the individual manufacturer's forums.
Thank You.

I've been running with Matrox for years, starting with the Axio LE. I do 75% broadcast work and find that the Matrox works very well with my kind of workflow. Monitoring is critical and since we have to deal with 3rd. party solutions, Matrox was my pick dating way back to 2006. Sure I've had frustrations with it, but I've made far more money off Matrox than frustration.
   Here's my nearly crash-free setup:
Gigabyte GZ-X58A-OC moboard
Intel 990X (only overclocking to 4.0)
24Gb of Kingston HyperX Ram
GTX580 Graphics Card
Matrox MXO2-LE w/Max
Crucial 240Gb Sata III drive (the one that has a nearly perfect score on Newegg's site)
2 x 2Tb WD Blacks Raid 0
2 x 1Tb WD Blacks Raid 0
Win 7 Ultimatte (it's a high-end version of Windows that's great for keying!)
CS5.5 Suite
Boris Red 5
Boris Continuum Complete 8
Trapcode Shine, Form, 3d Stroke, Starglow, and Particular
Optical Flares by Video CoPilot
   The reason I list all of that software, is that it all seems to get along together, including with Matrox! So, I can't say I highly endorse Matrox because I've never tried Black Magic or running an external monitor off of my video card.
    I use After Effects with all sorts of plug ins and rarely have crashes. If I put in a long day I'll have the usual crashes here and there (mainly with PremierePro), but nothing that has required evan a soft reboot of the computer.
   My frustration with Matrox is mainly the delay that often comes with Adobe coming out with a new release and Matrox taking 2 or 3 months to catch up, though when Adobe went from 5 to 5.5, there was no delay at all.
   I think that a lot of the people who trash Matrox probably haven't used a Matrox product in years. But before you listen to me, I must confess that I was an early adopter (and advocate) of SSDs and even today, many people on this forum think they're still a waste of money!
   I'll close by simply saying that I've not left Matrox after 5+ years, but keep in mind I haven't had the bad experiences that so many others seem to have had, but again, perhaps they had those bad experiences long ago.

I have a imac with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB 32 GB CUDA grayed out Can somone help?

After Effects uses your CPU and RAM Primarily, not the GPU.
You only need NVIDIA CUDA for one function: the acceleration of ray-traced 3D compositions. Your newer Maxwell NVIDIA GPU does not contain the OptiX Library necessary for this function so it will not ever work for accelerating ray-traced 3D compositions. Sorry.
The After Effects team is no longer working on this feature and suggests that you use Cinema 4D Lite (bundled) for your 3D work instead. There are also some great third party options for adding 3D elements to After Effects compositions like Invigorator Pro and Video Copilot Element 3D.
Hope that clears things up.
Thanks,
Kevin

What video card do I need to make Photoshop CC 2014 to use 3D? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB graphics.

What video card do I need to make Photoshop CC 2014 to use 3D? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB graphics.

A couple of questions:
1. Have you tried resetting your preferences?
2. If you go to Preferences > Performance - is "Use Graphics Processor" enabled? If not, can you select it?
Your system should be fine to support 3D in PS CC 2014. Once I have more information from you we can move onto next steps if necessary.
Thanks,
Adam

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.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M supported by CUDA?

I'm interested in purchasing an iMac to run Premiere CC
There are two card choices:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M
I'm having trouble verifying exactly which of these is supported and the best for editing.
Thanks for the help!

Why is that 785GT-E63 bios does not allow GPU overclock?

Why is that 785GT-E63 bios does not allow GPU overclock?
while other motherboard on the same price range or perhaps cheaper allows it.
Anyways there are software solution but I hope a bios support would do. My old Geforce 8300 supports overclocking GPU via bios.

From my past experience, I would try uninstalling CCC and install ATI Tray Tool, or ATI Tools and see if you can OC a bit that way - if you do remember dont OC far just a tad as it will likely cause heat issues and onboard GPU is fanless.

For Arabic/Persian on a Mac, the best app is Mellel. But TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice should also work OK.

Why does the GeForce GTX 560 Ti NOT support OpenCL?

From the Nvidia web site it says that the GeForce GTX 560 Ti supports: DirectX 11 > 3D Vision > PhysX > CUDA > SLI >
301.24 drivers have been used and have downgraded to 296.10 to see if that would help, but it didn't.
When I check the performance tab under Advanced it shows that the OpenCL option is grayed out. When I check the Sys info log it also shows that OpenCL is Not availible (included below).
Why is this and when will it be fixed? Now that CS6 is shipping it should be working.

Good for you! I was just about to start typing a reply to the OP clarifying that support for OpenGL depends on the driver for the card, when I read your last post..

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?

3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Nvidia GeForece GTX 780M 4096MB

Thanks!
Best Regards,

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.

Does the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M with 4GB really make a difference

I just bought 27inch late 2012 imac. 3.4ghz i7 32gb ram NVIDIA 680MX 2gb and Im currious does the 780M 4gb really make a difference. I do not play any games. I do have 2 27 lightening bolt displays. I do alot of video editing and photograph. I have all Adobe Products and Apple software but i cannot find any where that the GTX 780m with 4gb will be any better. All I can find is if you play games then 4gb is good.
Any advice would be great!
Thank you in advance,

Certain applications such as Photoshop or Final Cut Pro will benefit from the higher video ram, however the GTX 680M is a very powerful card and the 2GB of ram that it comes with should be more than sufficient for most tasks.
Only extremely large files/projects will truly benefit from having the 4GB or ram that the GTX 780M supplies.
The 2013 iMac offers a performance boost over the 2012 version, however the increases in terms of CPU/GPU power are mostly modest.
The Haswell architecture was designed with mobile use as the primary focus and so areas such as energy usage were the priority.
The Nvidia 7XX graphics cards run on the same Kepler architecture as the 6XX cards, as with the Intel CPU the improvements are there but there is not a huge leap forward.

Why my Logic Studio 9 (upgrade) does not install Soundtrack Pro, sound effects etc..?

I just bought Logic Studio 9 (latest I suppose) upgrade version. Now I figured out that it does not allow me to install for example Soundtrack Pro, Sound Effects etc... How can I install them?
Logic Studio 8 was not installed prior to install because OS X Lion does not allow me to install logic studio 8.
What should I do now? Complete uninstall OS X and only update to OS X Leopard?

Hi
You have either moved the Applications or re-named them. For the updaters to work the Apps must be named "Logic Pro" and "MainStage.

Is the better NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5 worth it?

Just a year ago, having 2GB of video ram was considered pretty massive. Now we can upgrade the standard iMac to this 4GB card (when ordering new). Wondering if anyone has any views about whether or not I will notice any benefit in real world rather than benckmark tests, compared to the 775m card. I will be using Final Cut Pro X, Photoshop, Aperture and some other graphics stuff, but no gaming to speak of and no 3D rendering.

I take your point about future needs, but at the same time, if the 2GB card was the top end just a year ago, then I wonder if the faster card makes a real difference at all.
Mende1, I'm saying that I will be using all those apps snf I'm using them all for my work, so seroius work, but can't ever imagine editing 4k video and no 3d rendering. I will edit in 1920 HD though.

I'm front-end developer and I wonder why version 30.0 of firefox does not support pseudo element :before | :after ?

my firefox browser doesn't show the pseudo element :before | :after and they don't work properly.

Try ::before and ::after.
