GTX680 problems (Mac)

[Peter Garaway]

Hi Morten,

When you say ‘Premiere CC does not accept it’ what do you mean exactly? Also how is it incorrectly rendering? What are the results your seeing and what were you expecting?

Lastly which driver do you have installed? 5.5.25?

Thanks,

This is a killer graphics card for anything Adobe CC. In Premiere Pro CC the GTX 680 MAC performance is stunning. Be sure you have both the NVidia driver 313.01.02f01 (current as of 8/28/13) AND the NVidia CUDA driver 5.5.25 (current as of 8/28/13).
The NVidia driver will install a driver manager in the OS X system preferences. The driver manager gives you the option to switch between the NVidia driver, or Apple’s built-in OS X Mountain Lion driver for NVidia cards. Once installed, icons for both the NVidia driver manager, and the CUDA driver will appear in the system prefs panel. You must be running Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Hope this helps.

THX. Upgrading to the latest CUDA and 10.8.4 Driver put the machine up to speed.

But I still have problems with improper rendering of Lumetri Looks with feathered masks.

I have created a custom “Vignette” in Speedgrade, and saved as a LOOK for applying in Premiere.
Works great on another machine running an older ATI card, but is rendered incorrect with the GTX680.

Funny thing is – if I apply another Vignette filter on top of the Lumetri filter, for example the Creative Impatience Vignette filter – even at 0% opacity, this will fix the Lumetri rendering, but I loose performance.

Try selecting Render Max bit Depth and Max Render Quality for Preview settings under sequence settings. See if that fixes that.

I have the GTX 770 (from macvidcards) and it works beautifully – except for similar problems as you describe. I’ve had to create custom fades to black (for christsakes!) to get them to function properly with GPU hardware acceleration turned on. I’ve also had the same problem with the Quadro 4000 (Mac). Very frustrating.

Love PrP CC though.
