The 660 Ti Thread: Questions and Answers Here!

I get a very weird Flickering distortion that happens in Final Cut Pro X 10.0.9

When I add any kind of effect to the video it just starts spazzing. Anyone has any idea what it could be?

I know that its not officially supported by Final Cut Pro X but I have a hard time believing that it runs perfectly except of that one issue.

Also if anyone has a work around or ANYTHING I'd really appreciate it. It's been driving me nuts and I haven't been able to find a solution.

Hi all,

for what it is worth, I have a standard 660ti EVGA model, 2GB. It works fine with most everything in my build, including FCP X. There are some oddities such as a fuzzy screen appearing before logging in at startup, but otherwise fine, is CUDA recognized by Adobe software and is a decent performer. Kind of wish I had gone for a 680 instead but there ya go.

I am running Mountain Lion btw, Mavericks is just ugly. =]

Has anyone gotten CUDA to function with the 660 Ti in Mavericks 10.9.2 or 10.9.1?

Not tried, but would be good to hear if so for when I try upgrading to Mavericks.

Maybe thats my issue. I'm running Mav. Everything works just fine except Final Cut for me.

Ok heres an update.

So after close examination, it seems to just be inconsistent. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. But it is dependant on the session. If it works fine during a session it will continue until I put my CPU to sleep. If it doesn't work it wont work until I put my CPU to sleep.

And putting my CPU to sleep doesn't guarantee that it will or won't work during the next session... It just randomly works or randomly won't.

But to fix or cause the problem I have to put my CPU to sleep.

Could that be some sort of power management issue? Sometimes my PSU will send the GPU enough power to run Final Cut effects after wake up... sometimes not?

Any ideas?

I am getting this amazing checkerboard crash on a consistent basis with my Hackintosh machine. See attached image. Most often it occurs when dealing with images with in Adobe Premier. However it has occurred at other times, like in the attached example during rendering.

Machine Specs:
Processor: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2048 MB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP4-TH
I am also using a Dual DVI 2k monitor (if that matters)

I have seen some other people post in this tread with similar issues, but I couldn't find a clear answer, many people seem to eventually give up and change some hardware and it goes away.

Any help is much appreciated.

Just installed 660 TI 3GB in. After disabling IGFX and editing my smbios to Mac Pro 3,1, everything seems to be working quite well OOB using 2 DVI-D ports: Sleep, Wake, QE/CI, Flash, Dual-Screen, etc...

I took the liberty of testing it out on my system. I just tried a few effects and transitions for fun and everything seems to work just fine here.

I'm running Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 on Mavericks 10.9.4.
