Thanks for the heads up Steve.
A couple of questions for you: How does the Mercury Engine work without your optimum NVidia assets in place – i.e. how does it perform CPU wise as opposed to GPU? Is there still a considerable performance hike or will one be required to upgrade hardware?
Also: In terms of 64 bit performance, does the whole Adobe Premiere Pro kernal itself now utilise the +4Gb RAM benefit? (CS4 had to split the operation into separate processes)

Yeah They 64bit used to be only Photoshop CS3, now all the CS5 can use up to 12gb ram and more. The Mercury rendering Engine takes advantage the Nividia card to speed up the editing

I really like the idea of ditching my current realtime card in favor of the Mecury Engine. Less wait time for updated drives and such. I am just wondering though, how would one go about viewing the Source and Program monitor full screen? Would you use firewire to a deck and then to the monitor or is there a way to hook up a second monitor to the Nvidia card?

Just like most of the quadro cards helping in 3d graphics to render and process effects faster, the Mercury Playback Engine which exploits the full power of those Nvidia Cards will do the same thing. To enable you preview the rendered Video on your normal external monitor through firewire, decklink or any other i/o. Your system is okay now but you will gain some speed with the MRE based Card. I know that with time ATI with come out with a card to take advantage of CS5 MRE. All the test swere done with extreme quad systems with hyperthreading.
Let’s wait for the CS5 to come out and see how your system copes and I know people will do various tests to see the advantages.

Steve,
Thanks for the information. I had posted this question to PNY regarding the FX3800.
“If I am running the new Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and I get a Quadro FX 3800 can I connect a computer monitor and an HDTV to the card and then view my Source or Program window from PPro full screen (NOT A WINODOW) on my HDTV?”
This is the response I got.
“Yes you should be able to do this provided you enable the full screen overlay within the adobe program.”
Is this accurate?
