Quadro 4000 for Mac with CS5.5 problem?
Hi Todd/All,
Just bought and installed a Quadro 4000 for Mac, for use in CS5.5 and also for Freeform Pro….
I installed all latest drivers and 10.6.8 update, etc BEFORE installing card. However Now I’m up and running with it installed PPro isn’t seeing it (Mercury Playback option is greyed out) Any ideas?
Something it *could* be is that I also still have installed my ATI Radeon 2600T, due to the fact that I need 1 x DL DVI output and also a DVI>VGA output for my plasma. Quadro card only has single link DVI for 2nd port and their supplied DVI>VGA adapter doesn’t fit! So currently got both monitors being driven by ATI card and was just going to use Quadro for GPU accel for now. Should this work do you know?
Another thing I noticed when I initially plugging my 30″ ACD into the Quadro the OS/dashboard/Expose, etc was REALLY sluggish.
Is there any way to test my Quadro is installed correctly?
UPDATE: PPro is now not seeing my Decklink 3D Extreme card for playback either. I have options to capture via BMD, but no external monitor/export option…?
Thanks,
Jim. -

Hi Jimmy,
Do you have the very latest CUDA driver?

There was an issue last week regarding what you’re describing which should be fixed with the above link.

Thanks guys,
I think what I’d done was install the drivers the wrong way round or something – the GPU driver wasn’t registering for some reason. Appears to be working now.
Quadro is ripping through everything I throw at it now! No more waiting for renders just because I scale a clip up by 1%! Joy.
However I have had a couple of mac ‘screens of death’ since installing it. Rebooted just now and seems to be ok touch wood. I wonder could it be anything to do with me having my Radeon x1900T running at the same time? I can’t get the Quadro to see my Cinema Display, so just using it as a GPU slave and running monitor off the ATI…is this a bad idea? Also, I’ve noticed that the ATI card will only run 1 display at a time when Quadro is installed (it used to run a 30″ ACD on DVI and then a 720p plasma via VGA).
Does this sound like an ATI/Nvidia conflict to you guys?
Last thing – Timewarp missing from PPro CS5!? What is the alternative now? A bit frustrating that when I open up an existing CS4 project in CS5 it just deletes any reference to timewarped clips with no warning – so I couldn’t even try to recreate the warps with Twixtor or the clunky time remapping in PPro.
Is there a work around for this?
Cheers,
Jim.
