No GPU Transitions installed

[MT02MHT]

I have just installed E5 (from dvd) and it went smoothly.....until on starting the program I see there are no GPU transitions installed. I know they should appear in the Transitions folder under GPU. I have been through all the folders - definitely no GPU.
My graphics card is NVidia 8600GT.
Please help me

Hello
I have that graphics card as well and the GPU transitions work fine here.
1 .What driver version is your card usings? I'm on 175.16
2. Is it the only graphics card in your computer.

I would do a driver update on the card.

Driver update for sure.

I have installed driver 6.14.11.7516, uninstalled E5 then re-installed it, and still no GPU is shown. Any ideas?

Have you had any other issues with the card interacting with other software or hardware in the system?

Here is a long shot. Uninstall E5 and then Go to the device manager and pick your display adapter.
Right click and uninstall the card. Reboot the system. It should reboot as straight VGA. Load your driver and reboot.
Now reinstall E5. Hopefully, you should have GPUFX installed.

Jerry, whilst waiting for a reply I noticed I had service pack 3 waiting to be installed. I did that and guess what.........I now have GPUFX.
Thanks to all who contributed. I hope my solution helps others.

Whoa there....

Hey Jerry - does that last post mean that Service Pack 3 HAS to be installed for the GPU transitions to be available? Most of us have been holding off with SP3 since SP2 is working so perfectly with E4.x and we don't want to upset the nicely riding applecart. What say you to this with everyone's input?
Cheers,

Definitely SP3 is not a requirement, as I have GPUfx with SP2. However, SP3 probably installed an update that helped in Jerry's case.

I do have SP3 installed, however it was the original poster who added it to make things work. I have yet to purchase the update.

Oops, my mistake. Thx for the correction.

[MT02MHT]

As the originator of this thread I must say that the only thing that actually got GPUFX into my system was the installation of SP3.
I tried all the suggestions in the thread without success. Perhaps this could be a sticky to try if GPU FX fail to install.

It should've installed OK, but GPUfx will not appear in the list if EDIUS cannot determine whether your GPU meets the minimum requirements.

It can also be settings in your BIOS. For example, I run two cards but had to default the BIOS as I messed things up the other day and computer would not boot. Once it fired back up everything was working fine but I had no GPU in EDIUS 5. Went and changed a setting in the BIOS then re installed EDIUS 5 and away it went.

I'm having the same problem !
I can't see the GPU Transitions.

I have 2 video cards installed:
1. NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600
2. ATI Rage 128

Don't laugh at me, I know they are a bit old, but I found the GeForce5600 on the Edius Hardware Compatibility list (http://desktop.thomsongrassvalley.co...patibility.php), so it should work fine ! (I don't expect the ATI Rage to work with GPU... It is very old)

I have updated my NVIDIA driver, but still cannot see the GPU transitions...

You have mentioned something about a BIOS setting for working with 2 video cards. Could you be more specific...?
