    Sorin Nicu Graphic Cards does not let you go and render any faster
    than normal using Sony Vegas, it is wise for you to remember that!

    Yes i am really happy because i meet all the deadlines breathing down
    my neck on a daily basis ahead of time, because i dont bog down or bottle
    neck my workflow with over the top Cards that causes issues with other tools
    i use also.

    I am in this field for a long time Mr. Sorin, and i know what i am speaking
    about and i know what works and what’s hype…

    That’s not my experience.

    And I know exactly what works for a desktop. It’s not hype.

    Well suite yourself Mr. Sorin. You seem to be the experienced Sony Vegas
    forum moderator here, not me…. All the best.

    By the sounds of your questions, I would advise finding someone to build your computer for you. If you know nothing about basic stuff like PCI Express slots, you are going to struggle with building your first system, especially making BIOS settings.

    Yes, I have a friend who agreed to help me.

    Hmmmmm, so that means Photoshop cannot render certain filters if you do not have the appropriate GPU? Or, perhaps it takes a fraction of a second longer to render the image using the CPU? If the latter, then I’m still having trouble seeing much advantage to the GPU when I’m working with one image at a time.

    Since I have CS6, I will try liquify and warp to see if they work, and if I notice any delay.

    John,

    I did try the filters with my ancient GTX 660. Warp, liquify, paint and other filters work just fine, and, to my eye, they produce instantaneous results. I see no lag at all when I use them.

    [Bob Peterson] “so that means Photoshop cannot render certain filters if you do not have the appropriate GPU?”

    No, it means that if you have the appropriate GPU Photoshop will take advantage of it otherwise it will use the CPU.

    [Bob Peterson] “Or, perhaps it takes a fraction of a second longer to render the image using the CPU?”

    We’re not talking fractions of second… we’re talking 10’s of seconds. If you sit an edit in Photoshop all day, the difference between waiting 1 second for it to apply an FX and 15 seconds for it to apply an FX can really make a difference throughout the day. Photoshop also has a 3D engine so I’m sure the OpenGL rendering helps with manipulating 3D models for painting.

    I don’t think anyone would go out and buy a better graphics card just for Photoshop. But it of have one, it will speed up rendering some FX.

    Take it from me John, there is no 15 second delay and one does not sit for long periods of time waiting for it to kick in. I just tested this yesterday. The only reason to consider a graphics card for Adobe processing is if you are using Premiere Pro. I’m guessing most of us here are not in that category.

    [Bob Peterson] ” I’m guessing most of us here are not in that category.”

    Well, there are situations it helps. For example when you have a short deadline for the 200-300 photos you just took at the wedding or fashion show. Or whatever…
    Most of home users don’t have that need.
