will adding a second Nvidia4000 speed up rendering
i’m running PP CS6 on a 12 core Z800, 24 GB ram, Nvidia 4000 and AJA K3G. I was wondering if i would gain more render speed by adding a second Nvidia4000 ? Thx

I don’t believe so. If anyone else can chime in, I think Adobe is currently only optimizing for one gpu card in terms of Cuda. With that said, the gpu only renders so much of the process; this is independent of the fact you may be using gpu optimized plugins like colorista or neat video.

Angelo is right — you will not gain additional render performance adding a second Quadro 4000 in Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro does not support multiple GPUs. (I should note here that After Effects’s new 3D ray-tracing renderer does support multiple CUDA GPUs, so a second Quadro will improve your performance there.)
However, Premiere Pro does support the Maximus configuration: a Quadro GPU plus a Tesla processor. Here’s some linkage:

The answer is no. Folks have tried using an Nvidia Quadro 2000 with two Nvidia Tesla C2075 cards with success, yet that requires a motherboard that can handle the bandwidth, number of cards and a program that can take advantage of the setup. My understanding is that at the moment, you can do similar speed work with just a single Nvidia Quadro K5000 card (PNY VCQK5000-PB.)
