enable open GL
Hi sorry for the basic question but I am not sure what is going on. I recently installed Quadro FX 380 to get a better open GL support. When I open AE and do to the display settings (I believe that is the one) Open GL is greyed out. It says that no supported hardware is found. Also in Avid I am told that my card is unsupported. Any ideas on what I am not setting right? Is there something in the Nvidia control panel that I need to adjust? Right now I am stomped on why my card is not being recognized for Open GL support.
system XP 32
CS3
Quadro FX 380
directx 9
display driver 6.14.11.8208 -

Here’s a list of supported OpenGL cards:

Hi, the card I have replaced or is the newer verison of the quadro 370. I updated the driver and I was able to select the open GL. I Should have thought of that in the fist place. I havent been able to do any work yet to see if it runs smoothly yet. I will let you know if anything negative comes up. thank you

Don’t know if it’s still Dave LaRonde’s stock answer, but from everything I’ve heard, OpenGL doesn’t work in AE, regardless of your card.

Dave overstates this issue.
I agree with Dave that you should never use OpenGL to render for final output.
I agree with Dave that you should probably not leave OpenGL rendering always on for previews.
_But_, the OpenGL – Interactive setting actually works quite nicely for making rendering faster during interactions—i.e., when you’re dragging things around. The fidelity is poor, but that’s OK when you’re in the middle of dragging something across the screen; and the OpenGL renderer turns off as soon as you let go of the mouse.
Also, the GPU accelerates some effects behind the scenes.
So, while I agree with Dave and many others in saying that it’s not worth spending a lot of money to get a top-notch graphics card for After Effects, I have to point out that there are some values in having at least a reasonable stock GPU with OpenGL features so that you can get these moderate-sized benefits.

Ok thanks, I am removing this card anyway, I have been having some problems since I installed it. I researched some cards that my system suppose to support and that others are having succes with. thanks
