CS6 GPU Question

[Michael Garske]

Thanks for that. It’s unfortunate it looks like they are intentionally crippling the GTX series to mark up prices for production cards.

That’s a strange thing to say after looking at a graph in which the GTX cards are performing better than other cards.

I’m just looking at the 600 series cards. Based on that and other sources I’ve seen the 680 performance is sub-par to the 580 despite its increased specs. Nvidia has said that they’re “focusing on gaming” for that line of cards.

Hey Todd,

Thanks for the article – didn’t even know about the swap buffer! This really seems like a great update to AE (which is the point, I know!).

Would a GTX 660 2gb really not work?

I just upgraded my 64-bit windows 7 workstation from a Quadro FX 580 to a GTX 680 and im having some serious anti-aliasing issues in After Effects with things such as Trapcode MIR, and Element 3D… everything seems really jagged and almost no anti-aliasing at all. I’ve updated to CS6 11.0.1 and tried to change the 680’s anti-aliasing settings but nothing seems to fix the issue… anyone else had this problem? any ideas?

Wow, those Barefeats performance figures are just amazing.

I’d like to keep my Mac Pro 2008 a while longer, so I’m dying to get my hands on a flashed GTX 580, or 570 maybe. Can’t really figure out if the performance gain is significant enough from one to the other, but I definitely need one of them for my GPU-based rendering..

But the sad part is that apparently I can’t buy a card from you, because according to Macvidcards on ebay you don’t ship to Denmark, which is where I live. What a bummer..:-( Is there any way I can get you to make an exception from that policy? Please…:-)

Thing is, I do need the boot screen for occasionally booting into Windows, and of course the best GPU/CPU transfer speed is a must as well, so… Anyway, sorry to post a request like this directly here in the forum, but I just couldn’t find any other means to get in contact with you. Hope it’s allright..

Cheers
Martin,
