More GPU power for CS6 users

[Steve Brame]

I guess I’m behind the times in the GPU world. I’ve always been under the impression that the Quadro line was considered the powerhouse GPU, better suited for editing and such. I have the Quadro 4000 as you do Tom. Is the Quadro line losing favor to this new GeForce line?

I remember just a few years ago that we were cautioned against a card that was advertised for ‘gaming’ being used in editing, because the GPU demands for each platform were radically different. Now I read the new GeForce descriptions, and I see ‘gaming’ several times.

Actually, the thread title was supposed to have a question mark at the end. Thats what I get for typing before coffee.

Until this unit is tested with CS6, Im hopeful but wont speculate.

I could be wrong, but this card uses SLI tech on-board to enable both GPUs. Adobe doesn’t support SLI, instead opting for the Maximus approach to enabling multiple boards. So, not sure if this will work any better than a 580. Same scenario with Resolve.

With over 3000cuda cores this card will dwarf all other cards but will it be a Mercury Playback Engine card, The MPE list stopped at 580 for the Geforce.

Another big IF is: Will there be a version/support for MacPros?

Using a GTX590 with 1024cores with a blackmagic card will be great so I am trying that option
