Z800 Desktop Workstation
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I posted this question to Adobe. It is finding a graphic card that will work in the Z800 workstation and also work with Adobe

Post Question:

With the video rendering and playback option there are no choices, area is greyed out.
"Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)" or "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" or "software only" option - there are no choices.

 

I am unable to update my card's drivers, NVidia Quadro 2000. Nvida has no support on the card installed - in the HP Z800 Workstation.

 

The installed graphic card work in the Z800 however the graphic card will not work with Adobe CC 2021.

 

The graphic cards recommended by HP, on their HP Z800 site, are graphic cards that work with the motherboard that came with the machine. That the newer graphic cards will not work in the HP Z800 because of the newer technology. 

 

What graphic cards will work with Adobe CC 2021 and HP Z800 running Windows 10 64 Bit? I would sincerely appreciate a reference to a list of graphic cards that will work in this HP computer - so that I can render and playback using a graphic card that is supported by both CC 2021 and HP Z800.

That graphic card supports CUDA 2.1 and OpenCL 1.1 and NVidia's older windows driver   will have CUDA and CL library.

 

Adobe hardware acceleration is discussed here

Reading between the lines they are going to support apple and metal and are doing the minimum they can with cuda and opencl.

 

I have licensed software (Acrobat) that they refuse to activate and the last "lifetime" Acrobat I bought, 2016, they are not fixing any bugs on although it is still activatable the last time I checked.
