If you want to experiment, replace your Quadro 2000 with an AMD card (R280 for example, if you have the required power connectors)and use it to connect the display. In this way you will have OpenCL from AMD for timeline acceleration.
You will still be able to use MainConcept encoder with the CUDA (from remaining Quadro 4000).Personally I am using a GTX480 (Fermi) modded in Quadro 6000. Not the same like real thing – more cores but less memory – but very stable and per formant.
Using GPU-Z to verify the GPU utilization, I realized that the video card is NOT the bottleneck – it doesn’t reach 100% at any time.
Previously I was using a Quadro 2000 and that was maxed out during rendering, so as of now I know that adding a faster card won’t do anything for me.My CPU is not reaching 100% either, so at this point I blame the HDD’s for being the bottleneck. I just purchased a RAID card and I will try to populate it with HDD’s to see if I get any improvement.

FYI, I have bought recently on eBay a Dell T3500 with a six-core (12 threads) Xeon X5650 and 15GB ram for $330. It also came with a Quadro FX3800 video card (older but is working in MainConcept encoder).
Now, the cheaper Xeons are actually not that different from I7… so depending on what you are looking for, the I7 might be a better choice. -
I read in some Amazon comments that they had other fakes in past – like fake Ray-Ban glasses.
They corrected eventually the issue (silently). -
[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.

Export it at “30fps”. It’s further away from 24…

Dell T3500, Xeon X5650, 15GB DDR3, Quadro6000 + Quadro600 video cards.
I don’t have issues with V13, and I have applied the last update without problems.
If you want me to test one of your files, I can (maybe format of the source file matters). -

That’s not my experience.

And I know exactly what works for a desktop. It’s not hype. -
[Steve Rhoden] “I am a happy trooper with this approach for tons of reasons that are too many to be listed here.”
I guess time is not money for you. You must be really happy… not to have a deadline breathing down on your neck.OT: Personally I consider my time the most precious resource. Ultimately… is the only thing that money can’t buy. Not even if your name was Steve Jobs.

Get any Fermi nVidia card – GTX480, GTX670… to work with the MainConcept encoders.
Personally I have a GTX480 modded in Quadro6000 (less memory but more cores) and I cannot max it’s utilization out with a six core i7 (I suspect that my HDD in RAID 1 is not fast enough for it).
Also, a Quadro 4000 was probably expensive and not worth it if bought new three years ago, but now you can find on eon eBay for $200.I guess ATI card would be fine too, but even if I had a faster card it would not help.
Lack of CUDA keeps me in nVidia court. -
My six core CPU cannot max out my old Fermi GTX480 card (with 480 cores, modded as Quadro 6000).
I am not sure where the bottleneck is…
