  I want to build a pc for better video editing with the soft first Adobe pro and Adobe after effect. Should what kind of material I buy for it. If you suggest me pls. my budget is about $2500

  You will have problems in the construction of a 99 X system for this budget. You need 32 GB of ram if you do that will be a large part of the cost with DDR4 right now. If you have a room on the X 99 budget would certainly be the way forward. The 5960 X is the best processor out right now but $1100 will probably push your budget. The 5930 K would still work and a much better price for your budget. I suggest: 970GTX with this budget as well. Forget the Xeon V3. They are out of your budget and not worth the price with this budget in mind. You can get a system much better with the I7 Haswell E chips.

• I have mac pro 3.1 and it is insufficient for what is his is. I need an internal card with more flexibility to the inputs and outputs as used in windows systems.

  A sound card internal Mac pro 3.1 what they do?

  And if yes where can buy one?

  I need more input and output it attach to my PA and recording, hardware as I do with a windows PC.

  The mac comes with a microphone and a single output with terrible impact when it is connected to my sound stuff.

  A few people responded to your post above. Might be better to explain what your needs are, rather than starting a new discussion here.

• How can I require more RAM to my graphics card?

  I'm pretty sure that this question is thrown around a lot, but I can't really find an answer that helps my situation.
  So, I have a HP Pavilion p6-2480ea and I have 6 GB of RAM, but only 32 MB of this is dedicated to my graphics card. So I was wondering if I could dedicate more RAM for my video card? I have an Intel integrated graphics card, so I don't know about if it will hinder me.

  Thank you.

  Normally this parameter is in the BIOS on a desktop computer.  Now remember that the OEM motherboards have luxury may not allow the user to this area of the settings.  Check that setting (award shared with the integrated video graphics card memory) if there is no box for this setting, it might be a better option to add a video card to the system.

• How can I enable the GPU option on a new mac pro with 2 AMD D700 graphics cards?

  I recently bought the new mac pro, and I saw the option GPU is not activate and acknowledges that the CPU one, which is frustrating. Does anyone know how to enable the GPU option?

  Thank you

  See this for more details about how the GPU is used in After Effects:

  http://blogs.Adobe.com/AfterEffects/2012/05/GPU-CUDA-OpenGL-features-in-after-effects-CS6. HTML

  Note that your card will be used for all the features of GPU - but the 3D rendering acceleration traced the beam - requires a Nvidia GPU. This is a deprecated feature that you don't need to worry about anyway. There are a lot of better alternatives to the use of 3D in After Effects, Cinema 4 d, including the who now comes with After Effects:

• Mac Pro 2008 RAM Upgrade

  Hello

  My Early 2008 Mac Pro (3,1) currently has 6 GB of RAM (two 1 GB sticks) and two sticks of 2 GB and I bought a pair of used ram (800 MHz DDR2, who works with the Mac Pro 2008 according to the announcement on Ebay) to take up to 8 GB. I have a Kingston 2 GB key and a broken stick of the same type to complete the configuration. I followed the instructions on the Apple support page and inserted the two sticks of working and broken in the memory card top of the page, and when I turned on the machine, it is detected that the map background (which had the pair of 2GB that was already in the machine) about this Mac. After the reinstallation of the new RAM, the fans in the machine began to turn to the maximum, and the machine hung on the Apple logo. I tried a few different configurations (including the replacement of one of the existing 2 GB sticks with the new work), which caused the machine hang or the memory card, they were to not be detected. I have now deleted the new RAM temporarily, and the machine works fine.

  Any suggestions as to why this is happening? I'm under El Capitan 10.11.4.

  installing new RAM check the smaller units of new RAM by itself, has increased the confidence that we CAN work, prior to mixing and matching with your RAM existing. This reduces the problem to the size.

• Mac Pro and Ram ECC, basic questions

  Hi all

  one of the reasons why I bought a mac pro opportunity was the ecc ram.

  When the motherboard firmware and os work perfectly together, ram ecc can not only detect the ram errors, they can be corrected completely transparent and invisible to the user.

  But other scenarios can be implemented too...

  -the system can cancel all user processes and stop the system immediately.

  -the system can say "(ram erreur détectée, décidez vous-même à un) continue, b) stop, c)..."

  -the system can correct the error of ram and continue, and perhaps somewhere in a "count of the errors of ram' system can be increased early warning"ram module xyz contains errors, please share.

  So my question: what will happen in a mac pro (2010/5.1, with 10.11.4) when a ram error is detected?

  Greetings from the Germany

  Chris

  If only some errors, then the user is not notified.

  However, if there are so many errors that they may not be correct which usually results in a kernel panic with many banks to report errors.

  Sometimes errors are detected during the self-test on startup and a few times it will be diagnosed led illuminated by the stick of bad memory. Also if you open System Profiler/About this Mac and go to the part of the memory, it does not say OK

  

• Fusion on Mac Pro - dedicate a guest only NETWORK card (and have the OS ignore)

  As the subject says. Such a thing is possible?

  I don't know if I'm looking in all the wrong places, or just to ask the question properly.

  Here's what I was wondering:

  I have a Mac Pro with two network adapters. I want to use one for the host (OS X) and the other only for the guest OS. And using it for the guest OS, I want OS x to ignore it completely.

  If possible, how to apply such a facility?

  1 OS X > system preferences > network > Hardware icon > set order of Service

  • In the Service order worksheet, have the NIC priority placing the card NETWORK to use for the host at the top of the list, followed by the NETWORK card dedicated to the virtual machine, and then click OK.

  2 OS X > System Preferences > network

  • Select the card NETWORK dedicated to the virtual machine, and then to configure IPv4: stop selection, then click on apply.
  • Then to configure IPv4: check the DHCP with manual address.
  • Then for IP address: use a reserved address of 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 IANA Internet Assigned Numbers Authority () and then click on apply.  It's the range of addresses for the automatic private IP addressing, which normally would be affected if the NETWORK adapter does not have a connection but not to worry, it will be... only for the bridge of VMware which will be defined in the next step.

  3 target Virtual Machine settings > network adapter > Bridged Networking, select the NETWORK adapter chosen for the use of the dedicated virtual computer.

  • Now the Virtual Machine will acquire its network router for the LAN Host Configuration information, or you can assign an address appropriate static IP, mask, subnet, gateway and DNS server IP addresses in the configuration of NIC in the guest OS if you wish.

  Note: If this doesn't work for you, even if as described, it works for me, you may need to manually select to configure IPv4: and use a reserved in the meantime address previously mentioned with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask while providing the appropriate Host router LAN Gateway and IP addresses of the DNS servers.

  Another problem can occur if using a WiFi NIC dedicated to the virtual machine, some WiFi routers will not fill several IP addresses to the same MAC address.   If this is the case for you, then you will have to use wired Ethernet for NETWORK adapter dedicated to the virtual machine!

• The Mac Pro to buy - base 4 or 6 for Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop CC

  Hey there, I'm new to this forum and I wanted to ask a question on the current Mac Pro.

  I am with the purchase of a new Mac Pro, but I honestly can't work if it's interesting to go to 4 or 6 core version.  I do not think that Illustrator CC takes advantage of multi-hearts, but I think possibly Indesign CC and certainly made photoshop CC.  I could be wrong completely well things may have changed.

  I'm a graphic designer and especially work in the press.  I create posters, brochures and event work sometimes large format.  Recently, I worked with files around the mark of 500 MB to 1 GB, in photoshop, indesign, and Illustrator, who is about as big as they get ever size wise.

  I'm not rendering or doing anything too crazy, especially to throw about 100 MB + files with all of these 3 applications open with multiple layers, possibly Office apps too in the word of the background, powerpoint etc.

  I have heard conflicting views on that and I hope to come to some kind of conclusion.  This question was asked before in the past, but without a final resolution.  Whenever I saw a mod Adobe join the conversation its usually a copy and pasted minimum spec link or something like that.  Not a clear jump off of the fence, comment "I would recommend this configuration, it is best for your workflow.

  I realize more ram would be nice... biggest SSD etc... but its more the actual base machine I am interested by picking, assistance are additional cores worth? bells and whistles can be added later and I have a good idea that has chosen here.

  Future proofing would be the reason to get the kernel 6. It won't be a big difference now with these specific applications. If you add multimedia video/motion against still only down the road then you would like the 6 core.

• MacBook Pro 2014 - failure of the graphics card for the 2nd time in 2 years - no guarantee

  Hi all

  end of 2014, I bought a new 13 inch Retina Display MacBook Pro mid 2014 model (A1502, EMC2875). A few months later, the graphics card has failed - no obvious reason. Apple replaced. Now, the graphics card has not yet. Still, the mac worked perfectly well (no overheating of the noise, nothing) and all of a sudden - no understandable reason or external actions, the graphics card has failed. Unfortunately, I do not have a guarantee of more. At least, I can access my documents by connecting two Macs, so I hope that the material is not affected.

  My model (1502) apparently only has a single integrated graphics processor.

  My questions:

  • After some research, I discovered that Apple used to have these problems with the 2011 edition. They have implemented a replacement program. Does anyone know sth on this subject?
  • What graphics card would you recommend? How much such a graphics card? Where could I buy a cheap?

  Of course, I don't want to reuse the same type - guess I don't have to explain how @* #&! I'm after two times the same problem within two years after the purchase of a brand new MacBook Pro...

  I would appreciate any recommendations and links!

  Best regards

  Rahel

  -As you say, your Mac model uses the graphics processor integrated in the CPU chip. So, there are ios no replacement possible. The CPU is soldered to the logic board

  -The problem with the 2011 MacBook Pro was with the discreet Nvidia, not the graphics unit integrated in the CPU graphics unit.

  -When you went to an Apple store just says the genius of APple?

  This is the Office Mac Pro forum. I asked that your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop.

• I want to buy a better graphics card for games - what graphics cards are compatible with my pc

  I need help on graphics cards is compatible with the motherboard in my PC...

  I need a better graphics card, one for games with 2 GB of video ram. Need help choosing a graphics card on my PC.

  PC name: Pavilion Slimeline s5730y

  Hello

  Yes. and Yes.

  The issue of power supply is theoretical, as, once again, is not necessary to insert a graphics card on the system board.

  You have zero options to upgrade graphics card.

• Can I get a better graphics card for my laptop?

  Hi, my name is Mitchell and everything a few years ago, I had a laptop computer Hp Pavilion G6.  I use my laptop computer mainly for homework, but now ive started playing games on it and ive noticed that I can play games because the graphics card is not the best.  Instead of making a new pc game, I wanted to just update the graphics card on this subject?  I'm able to buy a graphics card for this and it installed?

  Hello

  What is your G6? G6 is a series of many portable models and normally we cannot upgrade the video card on 99.5% of them. Not only G6, other series laptops from HP and other vendors as well. We can only upgrade video card on some REAL games and machines of class work station.

  Kind regards.

• Best graphics card for Photo editing

  Hi all

  I am a professional photographer. Currently, I use Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4.1. I'm having a new computer built just to edit my photos. The Council will be an ASUS P9X79 with memory intel Core i7-3820 and 16 GB. Construction computer technician would like a recommendation of the fastest and or better graphics card to edit images.

  All my work is done in RAW of a 5 d MII. 21 million pixels.

  Processing speed has always been a bottleneck for me and Lightroom 4 did not help.

  Can you please recommend the best or fastest graphics card for this system?

  Thanks, Jim

  James,

  Lightroom doesn't have much in terms of graphics cards when editing images. It would be nice if it makes use of the GPU, but it doesn't. Photoshop can, and some Lightroom 'plugins' as things NIK do use fancy graphics, but I think that again, you will not need top of the line chart. In any case, it will probably not make LR turn faster.

  I have a Core i7-2600 with 8 GB, and LR is smooth and delicate with 12 megapixel images, so your new machine looks like it will work pretty good LR.

  With Intels Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) active is not serious so I think with a lot of computers HP, no option in the BIOS. Shirt: you can not do this, the system will work to himself.
