Upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2 and now get an error message that my video card does not meet the minimum requirements. Five minutes ago it worked fine before I upgraded to Mountain Lion and the new Aperture software. What the heck? more

Jul 26, 2012 11:33 AM in response to trademark13by The hatter,What video card is installed? might be helpful to know.
What are the hardware requirements for Aperture 3.x, too.
ML you should have more than say ATI 2600XT, so 8800GT or ATI 5770 (not sure but doubt the ATI 4870 is fully supported) - just a couple examples.
Well, nothing of note in tech specs:

Jul 26, 2012 12:37 PM in response to trademark13by trademark13,Good point. I have an "early 2009" Mac Pro (MacPro4.1) Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHZ. Graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120.
Any thoughts? Thanks you in advance.

Jul 26, 2012 1:02 PM in response to trademark13by The hatter,★HelpfulThe GT120 is low power and low end but has two DVI and 512MB VRAM.
Trouble is I could not find any real hardware specs and what there was was minimal specs.
I think that card even support FCP-X which surprised me but others say it was fine.

Sep 25, 2012 11:57 AM in response to trademark13by Michael Roberts12,I notice in your original post that you stated a MacPro 4.1.
Your later message, copied from About this Mac says MacPro1,1.
I find that strange.

Sep 25, 2012 12:43 PM in response to trademark13by trademark13,Michael,
I only left ONE message, although I do have TWO MacPro's. The one I was leaving the message on IS a MacPro 4,1........but WHAT purpose did your message serve. It certainly was of no help to me.
To all others, thank you for your input. I'm still not sure what the problem was, however, I resolved it by changing my out my video card> I installed an ATI Radeon HD 5770 and no longer have an issue.
Thanks again.

Sep 25, 2012 1:26 PM in response to trademark13by Michael Roberts12,My apologies.
I read the posting from leighton and mistook it for your information.
You listed a 4,1 and Leighton a 1,1. That was the source of my error.

Not sure why this is thread jacking. I have the same issue that the origonal poster had, and was merely adding my comment.
On suggestion from MacSales (OWC) I have ordered an ATI Radeon 5870 card, and will be installing today.

Im the guy with the 1.1 machine. lolI discussed this issue w tech support at OWC, but they were unaware of the issue. However, we felt there may be a RAM issue with the Graphics Card, and so we elected to order a new ATI Radeon 5870. The HD 5770 (as you know) is also fine, but I elected to get a slightly faster card.
Btw, I WAS able to run Aperture 3.4 initially on my OLD card, but after three days I mysteriously got the message "graphics card does not meet...". Not sure what changed in the three days, but as I have multiple Aperture libraries, some with 100k images, I suspected that might have been the issue. However once I got the message, I was no longer able to open ANY library.
Cheers
