  • GTX 570 OpenGL, AAE CS5

    Hello,

    first sorry for my english.

    All my works i do in AAE. And now, I just wanna buy new PC with graphic card GTX570, and use it in AAE CS5…
    And this card isn’t compatibilite with CS 5.5 and i can’t find CS5 compatibilites, but i think it’s same…

    https://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/extend.html

    So, my question is. Work’s OpenGL in AAE CS5 on this GPU (GTX 570)? Because this card isn’t compatibile with it…

    And what you think. Is this GPU good choice? Because QUADRO is expansive and this is gaming card …

    btw: please, post me compatibilites on CS5 …

    Thank’s a lot!

    AE will not make much use of OpenGL even in CS5.5. Some of the newer 3D plugins may use that (like Freeorm Pro), but unless you have major projects using those specific plugins you do not need to worry that much about the graphics card. Any newer card from NVIDIA will do.
    What you need is RAM- as much as you can afford and fast processors- that’s what will make AE work faster for you.
    So the GTX 570 is fine for AECS 5.5.

    Thank’s for reply.

    I wanna buy:

    INTEL Core i7-2600K
    16 GB RAM (1600 MHz frequency)

    So i hope, that GPU (GTX 570) will work’s fine.
    But, why is this compatibilites important? https://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/extend.html

    GTX570 isn’t in that list and as you say OpenGL works…

    See this video for details of what OpenGL does in After Effects:

    After watching that video, you will understand why Dave and Tudor are saying what they are saying.

    Anyone know how that GTX 570 rates for PP and in general? Preferably in terms understandable by a person who is more tech savvy than average, but not an IT person either. It’s on the PP Mercury support list so I’m just asking is it just barely spec-worthy or pretty good?

    I’m considering a GTX 570 for my wife’s new puter, which will by no means be a dedicated video/graphics station, but at the same time, considering my line of work, I’m not willing to spend on any hardware that can’t handle my work tools decently if needed. So, does that card seem a reasonable choice for the purpose?
