More GPU power for AE in ner future

[Chris Brett]

Hi Tom — just been doing quite a bit of study on GPU stats and it appears that bandwidth vs number of cores is the key issue.

— my techy geek mate who is assisting comments thus ” not impressed by that new gfx card is that yes it has a lot more cores, but they have NOT scaled up the memory bandwidth to match, so for CUDA tasks it will suffer from the same problem as the 600 series, ie. not remotely enough bandwidth per core to feed them all properly.

This is why benchmark results I’ve been looking at consistently show the GTX 580 to be faster than the GTX 670, despite the fact that the 670 has almost 3X more cores. ”

— Anyone else think this / have any thoughts on this one ?

Hi Chris. At this point its a theoretical until the cards are released and can be tested. My GTX 570 performs quite well for use with PrP, AE and Blender. I will wait to see test results and make a decisions about the cards performance at that point 😀
