Cuda Card for Premiere Pro CC
Hello, I’m at a bit of a loss trying to sort out all of the new and old information about Cuda acceleration for Premiere Pro CC.
I have a 2009 Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core with 24 gigs of ram. I’m normally editing 4k Red Epic footage which isn’t much of a problem until I start adding effects
It seems like things have been changing rather fast in this area between Premiere moving to Premiere Pro CC and Mac going to Mavericks. Many of the resources I have found suggest the PC card GTX 570 from https://www.ebay.com/usr/macvidcards that has been modded/flashed for use in Macs and then adding a line of code in the list of cuda cards for premiere but that was back before things have updated.
From what I understand in Mavericks and in Premiere Pro CC with the newest firmware most PC Nvidia cards will work (just no boot screen) in mac without being modded and without needing to add code to Premiere’s Cuda list. Does this sound right?
I’m a DP and am usually just using my editing machine to work on my reel with an occasional project, therefore I’m trying to keep things on a tight budget. Are there any other cards I should be considering?

Correct. I think starting with 10.8.2 (or .3) you could add a number of ‘PC’ GFX cards and they would work though w/o a boot screen. And in the latest version of PPro CC there is a drop down to select the GPU and PPro will use it even if the GPU hasn’t been verified with PPro.

There is a Mac version of the GTX680. You get boot screens to. I’m using it and it makes my old Mac Pro fly in Premiere CC.

Thanks for the info guys. I’m looking at this card:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130825
In stock.960 CUDA Cores
2GB 192-bit GDDR5
PCI Express 3.0 x16From what I can tell the $500 cards have just a slight performance advantage over this one.

The performance difference is based on the media used. Red will push the GPU’s far more than AVCHD or DSLR. A Titan for example will be barely used at all with H264 media but makes a huge difference with Red. I would really suggest the 680GTX since your running 4K Red. Remember the ram space per frame on 4K media is far greater than 1080.
