  adding graphic card to adobe list/will fcpx also play along?

  Posted by Rob Katz on December 2, 2014 at 3:38 pm

  i am a newb when it comes to this arena.

  i have an older mac pro (2008/8-core/3,1/gt8800/512) that i’m debating adding a graphic card and ssd for a boot drive.

  i presently cut in fcp7 but am making the move to both fcpx and adobe cc when i finally upgrade to yosemite.

  (this transition is my big end-of-the-year winter project)

  i have read that adobe “prefers” nvidia graphic cards and there is a list of “approved” cards:

  i have also read that is is “easy” to add a given card to the list and then have premiere pro see the nvidia card.

  do i have the above correct?

  here are examples of cards that i’m thinking of adding:

  https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc…82E16814487027

  neither of these cards, evga nvidia gtx 650 or gtx 750, are on the adobe list but i understand they can be added.

  will these cards works with adobe cc-specifically premiere pro?

  lastly, will these cards also work with fcpx?

  how do know if these will work with each platform other than web-based anecdotal references?

  thanks in advance to those who care to add to the conversation.

  be well.
