![]() OpenGL is used for everything in After Effects except the new ray-trace engine which is CUDA driven. If you are not happy about the co-operation between nVidia and Adobe, choose AMD and live with that. Those who know don't tell, those who tell don't know. You can't tell anything about Speedgrade, since it has not been released. nVidia delivers around 400 times the value of the 7970 in rendering. The AMD Radeon 7970 is about the worst card to get performance wise compared to a limited nVidia card for 25% of the price that delivers around ten times the performance. ![]() It is about equal to saying this car weighs less than another car, and thus it is the best car. This ONLY relates to OpenGL compute power performance and that is utterly irrelevant. The GTX 680 is one of the worst cards you can get in terms of raw compute is the first generation of Nvidia cards that has had its compute power artificially capped (one would assume to sell more Quadro cards) You are mixing Open GL and Open CL performance and CUDA performance. ![]() (That analogy is similar to a car that's equipped with an engine that's mismatched to the weight of the vehicle.)Īnd yes, a 1700W power supply that's outputting no more than 350W most of the time is like putting an 8.6L V12 engine in a Ford Mondeo/Fusion. ![]() This is the situation if an even lower-wattage PSU from the same manufacturer is used - one that turned out to be unable to handle a typical editing system configuration. On the other hand, if a given car ships with an underpowered engine as its entry level engine, then it will be significantly noisier and less efficient - and it may very well be ill-suited for highway driving because it cannot reach typical highway speeds reliably. Is the entry level engine noisier? For the same engine type generally not. Is the entry level engine less efficient? For the same engine type it’s generally more efficient. Is the entry level engine less reliable? No. Take a C class Mercedes and compare one with an entry level engine and one with an upgraded engine. The OP has a Seasonic PSU and they are Mercedes class let’s say so I suggest a better analogy is this: Swapping out a PSU is akin to getting an upgraded engine and not using a completely different car from a cheaper manufacturer of a smaller format! WD Caviar Black SATA III 1TB (video files) WD Caviar Blue SATA III 500 GB (data files) WD Caviar Blue SATA III 500 GB (programs) Intel i7-2600 (not overclocked, stock cooler) I can look at tech specs and marketing hype until I'm blue in the face, but it's not helping me decide what I really need - and how cheap I can go Also, cards only seems to be made by PNY. It seems to fall between the 570 and 580 price-wise, but it's a different line. Or there's the the Quadro 2000 or 2000D for about $400. Or do I need to go to the GTX 580? At $430 for the 1.5GB and $480 for the 3GB, it's signficantly more money than the GTX570 so it better be significantly better than the GTX570. is 1GB enough ($300 for the EVGA version) or do I need 2GB ($340)? Would the 570 be good enough? What the heck? Can somebody help me wade through this alphabet soup of cards, and what supports what? But on the " officially supported" page, it lists GeForce GTX, Quadro FX, and Quadro cards. Looking at this page, they really push the Quadro GPU and Quadro SDI Output cards. I'm especially confused with Mercury Playback, AfterEffects, SpeedGrade, and what is truly needed. if so, which card? I really don't want to spend more than I need, but I also don't want to go cheap and end up with a solution that's not much better than what I have. Question #1 is w ill I really need a dedicated video card, or is the HD2000 enough for what I want to do? Of course faster = better, but how much faster will it be for my money, i.e.Given that I currently have a homebuilt PC (specs at end of post) with only integrated Intel HD2000 graphics, I guess ![]() While I do mostly SD editing, my son wants to get into AVCHD editing and especially using AfterEffects. I'm currently using Premiere Elements, but am looking to buy the CS6 Suite with Premiere Pro. ![]()
