    I still need to see if you all find that much difference between the GTX 600 series and the 700 in video playback performance. I am looking to purchase soon, and if the difference is minimal would go with the lower card. Cost is an issue and that is why.

    Thanks guys!

    I don’t think you’re going to see any visible differences in the preview window between these two cards, but I guess it depends on what types of clips you are using (MOV, MTS, AVI, etc.).

    If it were me, i’d would purchase the best card that fits my budget that is on the Sony approved/tested video card list.

    You will not see real difference between the GTX600 series and the GTX700 series video cards right now with Vegas Pro 12, as the Kepler cards are not fully supported for full GPU acceleration in Vegas.

    I have tried the GTX 650, 660, 670, 760 and 770 and didn’t see more than a couple of seconds difference with my rendering tests between the cards.

    Thanks Dave,

    How about preview? that is really my only concern. I render with CPU only…

    Thanks

    For Preview, the GTX 760 and 770 gave me a better fps than the GTX 600 series. The GTX 760 and 700 fps was the same. Dave
