I'm setting up a new desktop that has a NVIDIA NVS 310 card in it...I've done all the steps to update from NVIDIA, I've done clean install...I'm still getting unsupported vide driver when using Premeire Pro 2020 or After Effects 2020 (that I know of, maybe other apps too).  Please help

I'm very sorry to say this, but that NVS 310 is now totally obsolete. It is based on a Fermi-architecture GPU whose driver support had already been completely ended by NVIDIA itself back in 2018, with the very last driver released for it dating all the way back to March of that same year. And even if it weren't, that GPU would still fall far short of Adobe's minimum VRAM requirement (the NVS 310 has only 512 MB of VRAM, compared to the 2 GB minimum / 4 GB or more recommended by Adobe), not to mention that its performance would remain horrible even when compared to modern-day integrated iGPUs (it has only 48 CUDA cores while most of the GPUs that we normally recommend for a modern mid-range PC have over 2,000 CUDA cores, plus its memory throughput is only 14 GB/s compared to the 300+ GB/s throughput of even today's midrange GPUs that we normally recommend for a 4k editing system).

what would you recommend for a Intel XEON E5 1603 v3 2.8 ghz processor ?  Machine has 32 GB RAM and running Win 10 pro

As I replied in another thread that originally involed the GeForce 210:

 

"That CPU is only a 4-core/4-thread CPU with no Turbo boost and a clock speed of a measly (these days) 2.8 GHz. As such, you're stuck in no-man's land with regards to the CPU to GPU performance balance. If you want to remain in the Quadro camp, try to find a Quadro P1000 for that system. If you're willing to go GeForce (consumer), on the other hand, maybe the GTX 1650 SUPER. Anything cheaper gets you either too little VRAM or an outdated GPU architecture, while anything higher than the models that I mentioned are seriously overkill for that CPU."
