Mercury Playback Engine MacPro

So more research shows that Mavericks OS 10.9 does not support CUDA and NVIDIA at this time.

Hi Wendell,

Sorry for the inconvenience. NVIDIA is currently working on drivers that support CUDA on Mavericks 10.9 with some of the older NVIDIA cards such as the GTX 285 and the Quadro 4800.

For others interested, the Quadro 4000, K5000 and GTX 680 ect… work with CUDA in 10.9.

Best,

Thank you Peter. What is the best card for a MacPro 2009 quad core using two Mac 30 inch monitors?

[Peter Garaway]

Others would probably have more insight here. I would GTX 680 is a great all around card. But it depends on the type of work your doing.

If you want more feedback I’d suggest starting a new thread with your question in the title or you can also ask here https://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/hardware_forum?view=discussions

Thank you. Specifically Premiere CS6.

Peter on a MacPro for the most part nearly maxed out… Just want the fastest card that works in a Mac for Premiere Pro – Photoshop…etc.
Thank you.

Agree with Peter – GTX-680 is the class leader for Premiere Pro CS6 in Mac land.

Thanks guys.

How dramatic of a workflow change is there to running Pr/Ae with the Mercury OpenCL/Cuda being driven by a GTX 680 vs. a Radeon 5770?

[Ericbowen]

The 680GTX has far better performance so the workflow options expand significantly depending on the media you deal with. In another words you have a far higher performance ceiling with the 680GTX card before rendering the timeline for preview becomes a must.
