  Switching to Premiere – Need Advice

  Posted by John Griffin on May 1, 2012 at 3:45 pm

  Hi All,

  I am in the process of switching to Premiere from Sony Vegas and need some advice on this video card stuff.

  First my PC Specs:

  Asus x58 Sabortooth MB
  i7 920 processor
  12GB Ram
  1TB OS drive
  500GB storage drive
  500GB render drive

  and today installed a 2TB raid 0.

  For external monitoring I am buying the BlackMagic Intensity Pro.

  The current video card installed is the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and I run dual 24″ monitors.

  I’m not up up to date with the cuda technology and just what it does for me, but do know that the card I have is not listed for PC in the Adobe tech notes. So what do I need? Please help.

  Thanks,

  John Griffin

  Can you wait for a month or two? Ivy Bridge is just coming out. Native Pcie3 support, less power more performance, cheaper to buy, own and operate. Of course YMMV because it’s not out yet.

  I was going to jump on the 3930k chip but then found out that it is just a gap-stop before Ivy Bridge. No native support for Pcie3 on the SB-E chipset AFAIK. Of course 6×6 HT vs 4×4 HT processors are another thing;) 12 processors on the 3930k would rip through encoding.

  Computer is ok except for the grafics card.
  MPE requires a NVidia card.
  See this list:https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html

  Thank you all for the responses. I had reviewed that list before posting, so I guess I was looking to see what everyone was using or recomending. I had also looked at the adobe performance charts for all the cards.

  Seems all the cards have dual display ports with 1 avi, so are you all using the two display ports for dual monitor setups?

  Also am I right in getting the Black Magic intensity Pro for external monitoring or will one of the nvidia cards do it all now?

  Sorry for all the questions, just want to do this once and get on with my projects.

  Thanlks Again,
  John

  I’m not using dual monitor setup, but you should be able to no problem.

  Black Magic intensity Pro should work just fine.

  Download the 9.5 driver (that enables CS 6 display output)
