DC7700 and Nvidia 8800GTX 768 MB GDDR3 PCI-E

I am wanting to install Adobe CS4 and I need to improve my video card. I am interested in the Nvidia 8800GTX above and wonder if anyone knows of the problems I might encounter? Adobe has the compatible card for CS4, but I want to know if it will work OK on my desk. I watch one on eBay ATM.

System:

-Compaq dc7700 CMT

-Intel Core 2 6400 @ 2.13 GHz + 2.13 GHz

-RAM 4 * 1 GB DDR2 dual mode

-Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit

-PSU 780W

I know that my setup is pretty basic, but I'm not wanting to make something too ambitious, the edition of base PS, photos and image files, maybe (?) some videos.

All advice is appreciated.

Select this option.

Hello

Here's the video cards tested by Adobe CS4.  The article is four months old.

Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

The 450 from NVIDIA is perhaps a bit slower than the 8800 and the 460 is a faster card.

  • Win7 and nVidia 6150SE 430 motherboard

    Are they really compatible? When I run video games like Civ 3 or 4 the processor starts to run high and the fan runs at full speed as the machine is about to take off ;-). The games can be run in full screen mode and even with a window frame and the animation set as low as possible, the set of parameters 'Global' or low nVidia, I still I have this problem.

    I downloaded updates (280) recommended driver from nVidia for compatibility and problems with the windows leaving 'trail' when they were displaced the other. This seems to be a question of resources.

    Can I solve this problem with a separate graphics card? And if yes how heavy duty a card can the system handle?

    Yes, Windows 7 and Nvidia 6150SE/430 chipset are compatible. Probably you are in need of a discrete graphics card to offload processing card video system. If your system has slot PCIe x 16, almost any PCIe x 16 graphics card should work your power suplly provided is large enough to power the new card.

    You don't mention what HP/Compaq computer, you have, so we can only speculate about the extension and power connectors that has your computer. Please provide your number of HP/Compaq exact model or product number for more specific help with your question.

  • Lenovo Intel HD 3000 Z570 and Nvidia GT 520 questions

    I'm having a lot of trouble with this laptop recently, it has the optimus nvidia with the intel hd 3000 and nvidia gt 520, I can't get either the nvidia gpu not working at all I can see in my device manager and it has the message "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) "in the properties of the device, also when I click on the Nvidia Control Panel I get the message"Display settings not available - you are currently not using A display attached to A Nvidia Gpu NVIDIA", I know that there is a switch on the front of my laptop which is supposed to enable the gpu from nvidia, but when I use the switch nothing happens , except that the light next to the switch is still on, the nvidia card worked very well and I had no problems with it, but I restarted my pc one day and BAM, nothing works, I tried a lot with this, I uninstalled my graphics drivers and re-installed both of them, I looked in the BIOS and it is set to "Optimus" I updated the BIOS and all my computer drivers I also tried to reinstall windows today, but it still doesn't work, when I run Dxdiag it recognizes only Gpu Intel HD and not the Nvidia one, it's incredibly frustrating, above, I have not used this card and it is not any visuably wrong with it everything on my computer works perfectly well, that's just the gpu from nvidia , the reason why I am so angry over this is I really need the gpu nvidia working I'm on a college course which requires me to have a good graphics gpu to run programs like photoshop and cinema 4 d and they work better with the nvidia gpu. If anyone has any idea at all so please please tell them to me, I'm willing to try anything at this point.

    Never mind to this subject, but if someone come across this topic and has the same problems. Here's what I did.

    Shut down the laptop computer

    At startup screen press F2 to enter the BIOS settings go to display and change of "Optimus" to "UMA" only save and exit and continue boot

    When back on desktop close the laptop once more and get into the BIOS, even once, once there change everything back to default settings then save and exit. When I did my control panel nvidia and card worked once more and I have not had problems since when restart everything worked again.

  • XPS Intel HD 4600 Graphics and Nvidia Geforce GT 750 2720 m

    Hello

    For about 3 weeks and a few updates to the Windows and Nvidia driver in may 2015, it seems that the Nvidia graphic card is no longer used by the Dell PC XPS 2720.

    I tried to just reinstall the drivers of two first from the website of dell and alternately of each Web site from intel and Nvidia.

    The two cards are included in the device (Device Manager) Manager, but each time, the graphics card intel HD is the only graphics cards that really works and used by the PC for an application or a game.

    I can check with software such as speed of the fan or CPUID, CPUID HW Monitor.

    Similarly, if I forced systematically into the control panel NVIDIA, the Nvidia card for the global or individual parameter, the Nvidia card is not used.

    Normally the Nvidia should be better for 3D application or games.

    Comments, solutions or justifications will be very appreciated.

    Thank you and best regards,

    PS: I have read all the previous posts on the subject and I know that the two graphics cards usually work together and have been in the past subject to a number of positions or problems related to their 'recognition' by the PC. I have Windows 8.1.

  • First 10 items does not work with the latest NVIDIA drivers, and adobe and NVIDIA will not solve the problem, why should I pay a fee to upgrade to the latest elements when you fix it, and I find myself with old drivers that affect the game?

    I have the question well documented with newer NVIDIA drivers impacting on the preview of the videos in the first 10 elements. Download driver of 5/2013 has solved the problem, however, there whims... which I do not think that I would have to pay for an upgrade of the elements to get rid of the question with my video card. What can we do about it? $89 for your problem is not something that I like...

    This is a user to user forum, so I'm not sure how to answer your question.

    Problems with the version 10 and nVidia drivers began about a year or two ago - when version 10 was already on two years and two generations of old. So I'm not sure that adobe is going to offer a fix for an old version of the program. Particularly when the nVidia drivers seem to be originally.

    Certainly, you can contact Adobe Customer Service and see if they go on you some sort of agreement on another version of the program. Or you can take a copy of old or second-hand version 11, 12 or 13 on Amazon or eBay for pretty cheap.

    I heard about people who work around this problem by loading a previous version of a driver from nVidia. But those who seem to be options. The least likely scenario is that Adobe will award a fix for a four-year program.

  • Engine reading Mercury and NVIDIA cards

    I assumed that this has been discussed in the past, but my research turned up empty.

    I run CS4 body for a while but am upgrading to 5.5 organization and I also want to go ATI to NVIDIA to get CUDA mercury reading improving.

    I'm glad I checked that I discovered that only a very few cards consumer (no Quadro) is listed.

  • GeForce GTX 285 (Windows and Mac OS)
  • GeForce GTX 470 (Windows)
  • GeForce GTX 570 (Windows)
  • GeForce GTX 580 (Windows)
  • I want to go with the consumer line because my PC is also used for other things and is not a PC edition devoted.

    If it's true that these are the only ones that work?  Or is that a lot of PC of areas where things work (such as memory and motherboards), but not everyone is put to the test...

    I saw a site where it said that you had to hack a file or something in order to get other cards NVIDIA Cuda to work in the mercury with Pr Pro mode even if they were equal to or greater in power than these...

    Thanks for the help,

    BJBBJB1

    I guess the question is if you think Adobe is likely to reduce the number of cards taken in charge or he hard code in the program.  Personally, I think CS6(+?) could fully support CUDA cards.

    FWIW, I just do the hack with my GTX 560 Ti card and it worked.  I'm running the PPBM right now.  Unfortunately, my AMD Opteron 165 system based, RAM DDR (not number) based has a LARGE number of bottlenecks that kill performance, BUT it's much better with the 560 card than without!

    The previous card, I had was an ATI Radeon X1950XTX.  However, I gave up on them after that they don't provide for her drivers for Win7.  Yes, the Vista 64 drivers worked, but without support, I have a quite expensive anchor point.  IMO, Nvidia, however, is much better than ATI in driver support.  So I will stay with them for a while.  Just my experience, though.  Hey, I have a few old 6600GT cards and Nvidia has drivers for Win7 64-bit available.  And it's an old card.  In any case...

    The GTX 570 should provide more than enough power for the current iterations of first.  ATI provides an 'equivalent' (OpenCL), but Adobe, for some reason, is not support.

    I hear you on Adobe supporting a larger number of CUDA cards.  I know that CUDA programmers and they tell me that the code is not limited by the cards.  You call the driver/CUDA features card and it works.  So I'm at a loss to understand that.  It simply limits their customer satisfaction.  It is not like they are not big enough to test.

    FWIW, the GTX 560 it seems to work well with CS5 and I guess would work well with CS5.5.

    Good luck in your adventures.  As I buy the additional hardware, I'll try to update here.

  • Photoshop CS5 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 Crash

    My profile:

    Photoshop CS5 (x 64)

    Windows 7 x 64

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 (latest driver v197.45)

    Intel i7 920 2.67 GHz

    My card is listed as tested for CS5 and NVIDIA card says that it's compatible with CS5, but today after using it, my screen went blank and the display driver recovered himself. It took about 5 minutes until Photoshop CS5 became responsive and the GPU features have been disabled. I will try GPU in advanced mode and basic instead of the normal mode to see what happens, but it's a shame that I have problems of this kind. I also had problems with CS4 like that.

    What I did to cause this problem: "I clicked on" Place... "to place an object, and that's when it crashed. It happens randomly that I use Photoshop. Please NVIDIA or Adobe to solve this problem. I love the GPU features and I want to run them, but this crash is boring to spend as much on the purchase of this product. I hate to have to pay to contact Adobe technical support, it should be included with the purchase of the software!

    How do I fix this without having to go through the mode based GPU or disabled GPU?

    Well my crash started back with the latest drivers again with the registry tweak and even disabled completely OpenGL. I was going to start to use Gimp but decided to make one last search and then found this thread: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=179747&st=20

    Holy cow, thanks to this thread, I solved the problem! This idea of downclocking the card itself and other questions related power led me to this fix: go to the NVIDIA Control Panel--> manage settings 3D--> global settings and opt for 'Power Management Mode' 'Prefer Maximum Performance' (the 'Adaptive' default setting value seemed to be the culprit). And that's all! The key here is change the setting of "Global", as my individual programs were already set to 'Prefer Maximum Performance'. I have worked very well for 3 days now, and I can cause the error to happen again by changing to "Adaptive".

    I do that and then turned backon OpenGL and set it to 'normal' and so far I've not dropped yet. For all of you who read this, I'll update if I have everything longer blocks, so if there is no more info about me which means this fix has remained strong.

  • Help! PrPro 5.5.2 and nVidia 285.62 on GTX 285

    OK, I had posted about this over a month ago in the main forum and thought that I had solved the problem, but he's back. Unfortunately I can't find my original message to resurrect as Jive seems to have deleted my history of the position beyond two weeks ago... :-(

    In any case, I bought 5.5 PrPro to work with images of RED Epic and installed alongside my 5.0.3 on Win 7 x 64 Ultimate. I ran all the (5.5.2) and then updates on my first startup received the message that I wouldn't have CUDA support because there was no active CUDA installed card. I knew it wasn't a good cause, I used CUDA always 5.0.3, so I checked and found that my drivers have been clearly exceeded. I updated my drivers nVidia nVidia site, rebooted and restarted the PrPro. Everything worked very well. Until I had to export my first video. During export I constantly got a nVidia Driver error, saying that my system resources does not match what was required by the program (something on this topic could not get small enough packages for the video to process card), and he had to close. Closing the box pilot error nVidia also force PrPro quit. I discovered that I had no problem to run without CUDA, and could successfully export my video. However, I can't afford the time to run without CUDA because it significantly speeds up processing time, especially with multiple layers of epic sequences.

    So finally, I did a full clean and reinstall the entire system, starting with the most recent non-beta drivers available for the nVidia card and put only 5.5 on the system and fully updated in 5.5.2. He acknowledged my CUDA card and there is no problem. I worked offshore and on the (very light work at Christmas) until today when I dug in my big epic project and started doing some basic settings the scale and speed on some clips and a few CC primary with the CC RGB and Three-Way CC. I often get the same error message from nVidia that I was me before I did the wipe and re-install and it kills my workflow and productivity. I turned CUDA backtrack again this afternoon to get this a chronology finished and exported, but I really need this back.

    , What has changed on the CUDA support between 5.0.3 and 5.5.2 who screwed up things with my GTX 285? And what should I do to fix things and get them operational back? Before the clean and reinstall I tried several versions of the nVidia drivers, roll a few back as far as I could go and keep CUDA support and the new drivers beta that Ann and others had recommended. Unfortunately for buying a new graphics card probably is not an option since I have already spent over $ 2300 in a few months on hardware and software upgrades.

    As a reminder, my other features of the system are as follows:

    Intel Core i7 920 2.67 GHz (no overclock)

    12 GB OF RAM

    250 GB SATA OS/programs

    500 GB SATA-Graphics/Pictures/other stuff/pagefile

    3-disk SATA RAID-5 2 TB project video files

    4 drive SATA RAID-5 8 TB (PCIe RAID card) video data files

    Project files to export/still Video 1 TB SATA

    4 TB eSATA backup (not currently in use)

    400 GB eSATA backup project (not currently in use)

    This additional technical information of my card GTX285, taken from the nVidia system information dialog box:

    Driver version: 285.62

    DirectX support: 10

    DirectX Runtime Version: 11

    CUDA cores: 240

    Graphic clock: 648 MHz

    Processor clock: 1476 MHz

    Memory clock 1242 MHz (2484 MHz data rate)

    Memory interface: 512 bits

    Total available graphics memory: 4 095 MB

    Dedicated video memory: 1024 MB GDDR3

    Video memory: 0 MB

    Shared system memory: 3071MB

    Video BIOS version: 62.0.58.00.03

    IRQ: 30

    BUS: PCI Express x 16 Gen2

    Then this morning when I arrived I supported the allocation of memory PrPro back up to 6 GB (6 GB leaving for other programs) and so far I had no accidents, despite some heavy CC and cutting... Hope that this trend continues. I'm still working with 4 k files on a timeline of 1080 (even if the timeline is a timeline of RED, and it's the same settings with respect to everything else).

    If I can verify that this is a memory problem, I'm going to submit a bug report at first... unless 12 GB is really too small to work effectively with such things, I find it hard to believe that since I have never had a problem with this before with 5.0.3 or earlier...

    Firmware BIOS of the server is the last.

    Already tried to deal with the pciHole.start parameter and no go.

    Tried to change the size of memory VM at different levels and still no go.

    Virtual machines worked very well with 5.1U1.

    Any ideas?

    Try changing the possible PCI slot.

    Are there no other setting in the BIOS that apply here, the designation is different from each supplier and is located in different places so take a look in all possible places in the BIOS.

    Also make 100% sure you have the latest version of the bios available at HP.

  • Qosmio X 300 - 16 d - thermal buffer/paste solution for processor and Nvidia MCP

    Can anyone suggest a good thermal solution (specific) for the Qosmio X 300 - 16 d CPU and the Nvidia MCP?

    I ask because there is a slight complication with the D 16 (a SLI configuration)... the heatsink for the CPU and the Nvidia MCP are connected in the same thermal module, but while the CPU heat sink is screwed, the chip Nvidia MCP is not - there is a large gap between the chip and the radiator.

    I'm guessing that a form any thermal pad should be used here instead of the grease/paste? Someone know what thermal pad was used by Toshiba for this, or point me to a high quality replacement that is suitable to be used?

    As far as I know the thermal grease 776 (part num: K000055600) could be used.
    But there are different cooling hang as mentioned by Akuma.

    There is a fan thermal 1 DUAL - VGA (K000061940) and thermal fan 2 dual VGA (K000061950) as well.
