    nvidia 560 Ti 2GB or 650 Ti 2GB?

    Posted by Matt Buckley on January 15, 2013 at 8:39 pm

    I’ve tried finding the answer to this one but I’m at a bit of a loss.

    I own an nvidia 560 Ti 2GB video card and purchased a 650 Ti 2GB video card thinking it would be an upgrade. As far as gaming goes, it’s actually a downgrade due to the memory downgrade (128-bit down from 256-bit on the 560 Ti). I was ready to return it…

    However, the new card is Kepler-based with more CUDA cores. I’m wondering if anyone can help determine if this should actually be better in Premiere Pro CS6?

    560 Ti 2GB:
    256-bit memory, 384 CUDA cores

    650 Ti 2GB:
    128-bit memory, 768 CUDA cores

    I guess I’m just not quite clear on the role of the CUDA cores. It would be easy to assume that more is better.

    Thanks for your help!

    I answered my own question using the benchmark project on this thread:

    https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1019120

    I used the linked AE CS6 project to test rendering speed on both cards:

    Common:
    AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition OC’d to 3.9ghz
    8GB DDR3 RAM
    Windows 8 64-bit

    First video card:
    GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5
    core clock 880MHz
    384 CUDA cores
    AVI render time: 9 min 55 sec

    Second video card:
    GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 128-bit GDDR5
    core clock 1071MHz
    768 CUDA cores
    AVI render time: 4 min 14 sec

    Interesting find. Across the board with game performance, the 256-bit memory in the GTX 560 Ti sports a noticeable performance improvement over the GTX 650 Ti with only 128-bit memory. But when it came to rendering this project (as AVI), the newer card was twice as fast. Maybe it does have a lot to do with the CUDA cores in this case.

    Hope this helps someone else!

    Useful thread, thank you.
    Already know that CUDA cores adds more when rendering video, but the numbers speaks it out loud.
