I have been looking for a board like this. People who actually know a thing or two about OpenGL. I do hope someone here can help me.
Dis is da skinny…
Company got me the swankiest Dell precision t7400;
XP64
Dual Quad Cores
With a Quadro FX 5600
and two dell 22" monitors
etc.
It’s not really performing as well as I think it should. I primarily run After Effects, and the box to turn on HW accelerate comps in the prefs is greyed out. OpenGL works very poorly and when I drag through my timeline (W/O OpenGL, just Adaptive Res) the image pixelates to point were I can’t really see it.
Nvidia Drivers are:
178.64
6.14.0011.7516
Bios 60.80.13.00.01
And
DirectX 9.0c
AFter a very nice Adobe tech support person guided me in the right direction to AE troubleshooting techniques I was able to get the HW accelerate box to re-appear (trashed the prefs and it came back) Wether or not it helped was another story but at least I knew how to repair it. Anyhow worked all day, went home and came back this morning to find an error message “After Effects: Hardware accelerated view have been disabled because they are not compatible with remote desktop.” We had not run remote desktop, all I know is due to financial mandates we have to have a screen saver that locks the computer after 10 minutes of inactivity, and the minute the machine locks, I lose HW acceleration. Now yes I could run a program to stop the screensaver, but that would be against the financial laws of the company for a public company so it’s not an option.
Steps to produce:
Start After Effects CS3
Go to the Edit->Preferences->Previews Menu and enable OpenGL
Go to the Edit->Preferences->Display Menu and check "Enable Hardware Acceleration of Composition Layer and Footage Panels
Quit After Effects to save the preferences file
Restart After Effects
Hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Lock workstation
Hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and enter password
When windows comes back I get an error message stating:
“After Effects: Hardware accelerated view have been disabled because they are not compatible with remote desktop.”
I have disabled remote desktop and the error still happens.
The worse part is, now if you go into After Effects preferences you can no longer select the Hardware Acceleration of Composition Layer and Footage Panels checkbox (because it immediately write to the preferences file stating HW acceleration is not available
I have tried many different Drivers, I have moved the card to a different slot, I have tried CS4 (Which reports there is no openGL card,) tried one monitor, and disabled all strat-up progams, etc…still have them same issues.
Ran realtechVR Opengl extension viewer and here is the result…
