Geforce GTX model for Premiere Pro CS 6

Hello all,
I might overstress this topic a bit, cause it is probably asked too many times already.
Please, be patient with me ;-). But I'm a bit confused, what I found on the community board so far, or the responses are already too old. The official Adobe hardware compatibilty for PP CS 6 is not very helpfull as well, because the list seems to be a bit too old.
I'm starting to look into setting up a complete new Windows-System and want to use Premiere Pro CS 6, not CC or newer.
I'm looking for a Nvidia Geforce GPU card, that is on the market and can make use of the GPU accelleration within Premiere Pro CS 6. It should run stable, without a lot of trouble or limitations because the GPU is too new and therefore not fully supported by PP CS 6.
First I thought, about the relatively new GTX 970, but I've red in this community post that there is still some trouble with getting Premiere Pro to use the GPU acceleration. For me, even it's not so clear about which PP versions they talk during the post. And it looks like, that there are some limitations, what'S possible with this card.
I think currently about a system with the following components:
- Intel i7 CPU with 6 cores either with Haswell-architecture (2011-3 Socket) or Ivy Bridge (2011-Socket)
- 16 GB DDR4 Memory (for a start)
- Samsung 850 SSD disks.
- Windows 7 64-bit
I'd be very grateful, somebody could share his/her experience and name some GPU models, that fit into the system and is capable to make use of the GPU acceleration feature from Adobe PP CS 6 and of course are still on the market.
Thanks in advance.

@ cc_merchant:
Yes it is indeed very confusing for a newbie, when you don't find newer cards on the official Adobe compatibility list. That's exactly my point. I don't want to spend so much money for something, that won't work in the end.
So thank you.
I'm looking for NVIDIA GPU models, that deliver good performance ( for a reasonable price below 500 USD) and that community members use successfully in their environment together with Adobe Premiere Pro 6 and may be are able to give some good advice how to successfully bring it to work.
Bill Gehrke,
I'm very interested in your experience with a GTX 970 card, cause that would be my first choice. Mainly on the great power consumption/ performance ratio. But here in the community I've seen a post where a lot of people struggled to get this card running because of the new GPU architecture with Maxwell CUDAs.
That's, why I thought to take GTX 760 or 770 and overcome the issue, that were reported there. Just to be on the safe side.
Can you post a link or explain me, how you configured Premiere Pro 6 and the GTX 970?
Are there still any disadvantages with this new card with Premiere Pro 6?
Would be great, you could let me know.
Thanks again for all other posts so far.

GPU for Premiere Pro CC, Geforce GTX 760?

Hello!
I am looking into purchasing a new GPU for running Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC. I have gone over the lists of approved GPUs for each software, and I noticed that the Geforce GTX 760 is an approved card for After Effects, but not Premiere Pro. I was wondering if anyone could explain the performance issues I might encounter using the GTX 760 with Premiere Pro? From what I have read, it seems that the Mercury Playback Engine will have to run off of the CPU if an improved GPU is not installed in the computer. Is that indeed the case? And if not, are there other features in Premiere Pro that might not work well with the GTX 760?
Thanks!

Adobe's approved list virtually always lags behind hardware releases due to the time it takes to test/certify new cards
My understanding is that PPro CC will use that card without problems

GTX 760M 2GB DDR5 or GTX 850M 4GB DDR3 for Premiere Pro

I'm hesitating whether to buy Asus N56JR or N550JK.
Asus N56JR come with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M 2GB DDR5
Asus N550JK come with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M 4GB DDR3.
For the Memory, I will upgrade it to 16GB RAM
Both come with Intel Core i7-4700QM Processor & 1TB HDD 7200RPM
My question is for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop, which one is recommended?
Thank you

I have N56JR and I use it for Premiere Pro, After Effects osv. It Works perfectly, but you must remember to set the nVidia card for the programs, or it will use Your other, Integrated intelcard, and that doesn't work that well (to say the least). But Yeah, everything is smooth and Works fine.I think you must set the Premiere Pro for CUDA engine too..

Optimal Hard Drive Configuration for Premiere Pro CS5 and Pro Tools

I am in the process of upgrading a workstation that is used primarily for multi-track audio recording in Pro Tools to use the following Adobe CS5 products for production of promotional videos in HDV (and AVCHD for the web) as well as printed marketing materials for bands and musicians: Premiere Pro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator and Soundbooth.
Since Premiere Pro is probably the most demanding application of the group, I have been studying the suggested hardware configurations on this forum with great interest, particularly HARM's suggestions (including his Generic Guideline for Disk Setup) to determine which hard drives to purchase and the optimal manner in which to configure them.
I am upgrading an HP Z800 with dual quad core 2.44 GhZ processors with hyperthreading (16 virtual cores), 12 GB of memory and an overclocked GeForce GTX 470. Without setting up a RAID configuration (which I cannot afford at the moment), I would like to use the 4 available HDD bays in the Z800 in the optimal manner for Premier Pro, using currently available drives. I am currently considering purchasing a 300GB VelociRaptor to use as my C drive because of the extended load times and demands placed on the drive by ProTools and the associated Waves plug-ins.
I would appreciate suggestions to improve my following plan: C (300GB WD VelociRaptor) for OS and Programs; D (1 TB WD Black Caviar) for Media and Projects; E (1 250 GB WD Black Caviar) for Pagefile (approx. 18 GB) and Media Cache; and E (2 TB WD Black Caviar) for Previews, Exports and Pro Tools audio files.
I have great respect for the knowledge of the members of this forum and eagerly await your suggestions.

I very much appreciate the responses to my email because I know that all of your time is valuable and that you have chosen to use some of that valuable time to help an unknown individual. This forum is remarkable because of the wealth of knowledge available and the willingness of so many to assist others.
I now wish to narrow my questions to save you time and so that I can get specific advice. I may not have not been clear that I have already upgraded to the HP Z800 with dual quad core processors and overclocked GTX 470, primarily for the improved performance it will provide in ProTools. My question now is how to optimize its performance for Premiere Pro CS5. Based upon my research, I am considering the following two upgrades, but I am open to other suggestions if they would provide better results at a similar cost
1. I am considering purchasing a 600GB WD VelociRaptor ( WD6000HLXH) for my C drive on which I would place OS (Windows 7, 64 Bit) and programs in an effort to reduce loading times of large programs. I have two questions: (1) Are members of the forum seeing a significant improvment in program loading times with the VelociRaptor because I am still not convinced that the price performance of SSD's justifies their use; and (2) There are so many models of VelociRaptors now that I want to be certain that I am purchasing the best version for my needs. In addition to the usual 10000 RPM speed, this model has 32MB Cache and a 3.5" form factor as well as a SATA 6.0GB/s interface (which I doubt my motherboard can take advantage of but it might extend the useful life of the drive with future configurations).
2. I currently have available for installation in the Z800 the following drives: (1) WD 2TB Black Caviar; (1) WD 1TB Black Caviar; (2) Hitachi 1TB. I believe that the Z800 can accept up to 5 SATA hard drives which I will have if I purchase the Velociraptor. Although I am reasonably knowledeable when it comes to hardware, I have never set up a RAID configuration. Therefore, it would be helpful if someone could recommend one of the various RAID configurations and brieflyexplain why it would seem to be best for my needs. I can then focus my research on understanding that one configuration.
I was planning to follow Scott's suggestion for my current 3 drives: OS and programs on C (WD 600 GBVelociRaptor), media and projects on D (WD 1TB Black Caviar), export files and Pro Tools files (all live musician tracks, no samples) on E (WD 2TB Black Caviar). However, I have been reading about the benefits of a RAID configuration so I am interested in further suggestions now that I have clarified my questions.
Thank you all for your help.

GTX 660Ti crashes premiere pro at random times.

We got this macpro for our company and it came with 2 x 2.8ghz quad core, 16gb Ram DDR2 FB-DIMM and an Nvidia GTX 660 Ti.
At first it ran fine but i coudn't activate the gpu rendering in PPRO and AE (both CS6 and CC now).
So i looked online and added the card to my terminal list as everyone must have done with their own cards so that Adobe can recognize it.
It started fine and GPU rendering worked but after a while both my monitors would crash and show purple rectangles all acrross the screens, as if the graphic failed (see picture attached) and I could not do anything but restart the machine and sometimes loose work I'd be doing. It never happens if PPRO and AE are closed but once I work on adobe softwares, there is no guessing when the crash will take place, it happens when you least expect it, especially before I saved anyhting. GRRRR
So for a while I took out the card from my terminal list (both from AE and PPRO) and it worked just fine even though I could not use the GPU rendering which tends to be annoying, especially with the amount of work we deal with.
I saw in a few forums that some people managed to get their GTX660Ti to perfectly without flaws.
Therefore I am writing this dicussion to ask if annoying had this issue?
Is it because i'm stuck on DDR2 ram cards? and i cannot update this card to work in AE AND PPRO
I have the latest cuda driver 5.5.47; im on OSX 10.8.1 and I will upgrade to Mavericks very soon but I need to know if there is way to fix this issue....
Any help or guideline will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Please try installing CUDA package from the below link and then try to change the Renderer in Project settings>General to Mercry Playback Engine GPU acceleration CUDA. This card is not in the supported list of card for Premiere Pro and After Effects CS6 so this suggestion will work only for CC. If you have any further issue try downgrading the CUDA drivers to 5.5.28 and check if it works for you or not. Please restart the machine once you have downloaded and installed CUDA package.

GPU Acceleration Cards For Premiere Pro CS5

Hello:
I am ready to invest in a GPU accelerated graphics card that will speed up playback and use the Mercury Playback Engine in GPU mode.
From what I could find on the Adobe site, these are the cards that are supported for Premiere Pro CS5
Supported NVIDIA video cards for GPU acceleration (CS5):
GeForce GTX 285 (Windows and Mac OS)
GeForce GTX 470 (Windows)
Quadro 4000 (Windows and Mac OS)
Quadro 5000 (Windows)
Quadro 5000M (Windows)
Quadro FX 3800 (Windows)
Quadro FX 4800 (Windows and Mac OS)
Quadro FX 5800 (Windows)
Quadro CX
Can anyone give me a recommendation from your own experience? Is the list of cards above still valid?
Thanks,
Rich Locus

So... before I go out and spend $650 on a GeForce GTX 680, it is this simple to make it work in CS5?
Yes.
(1) Make sure the card has at least 1GB of VRAM (which the GTX 680 has).
(2) Edit the cuda_supported_cards.txt to add one line: GeForce GTX 680 (starting in column 1)
(3) Install the card?
Do step 3 before step 2.
Also, you can simply delete the cuda_supported_cards.txt file
and achieve the same result.
Will Premiere Pro recognize that I have the card and immediately take advantage of the GPU capabilities, or do I have to change options?
You will need to specify:
"MPE GPU Acceleration" in your Project Settings:
If you do not have a supported card (or have not applied the hack),
this option will be greyed out.

Using a GTX 670 with Premiere Pro CC

This is a similar question to one that's been asked many times before, pertaining to earlier versions of Premiere.
With CS6, some cards not on the supported list could be added via a "hack". Can a similar modification be made for Premiere Pro CC ? And if so, how and where ?
Something related to Premiere- I also wonder if Speedgrade can support my GTX 670.

After some searching around, I found this page from Adobe > http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/06/adobe-premiere-pro-cc-and-gpu-support.html
According to that page, selecting non certified cards now only requires a simple change in the project settings.

Graphics card HELP for premiere pro CC

So I've spent hours reading numerous forums in regards to what graphics card is best suitable for premiere pro cc that isn't overly priced (I.e. Quadro k4000 and 5000) I'm trying to stick in the 400-500 range for the PC I'm in the process of building. I need to know anyone's recommendations for a GOOD graphics card that isn't so expensive? I know they exist, I'm just not sure which fits best for premiere pro CC as well as the rest of adobe CC. I mean I hear people mentioning AMD vs quadro and GTX 680, etc. I know there's a list of approved cards from adobe, but that isn't what I'm looking for. I want one that will give excellent performance without emptying my wallet costing so much. Please, any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks guys!
-Andy

Actually, I tend to agree with cc. That i7-4770 cannot be overclocked at all - not even in a limited manner (outside of the normal turbo boosting) - to start with (the maximum multiplier on the Haswell i7 CPUs is permanently locked to its nominal stock setting or its maximum stock turbo setting, depending on how the motherboard BIOS reads the settings). Second, that i7 has only four physical cores (albeit with hyperthreading). Third, no single non-RAID 7200 RPM hard disk has a sustainable maximum transfer speed above 190 MB/s even on the outer tracks (where the transfer speed is typically highest). As a matter of fact, I tested my auxiliary PC that's equipped with an i5-2400 and 16GB of RAM, and tested it with both older-generation GPUs (a GTX 560 non-Ti and a GTX 560 Ti 448-core), and while the GTX 560 Ti 448-core did perform about 50 percent faster than the plain GTX 560 (39 seconds versus 59 seconds - or put it in converse, the GTX 560 performed one-third slower than the GTX 560 Ti 448) in the MPEG-2 DVD test of the PPBM6 suite, the real-world improvement does not come anywhere close to the benchmarked difference (with either GPU, the i5 system took between an hour and an hour and a half to convert 40 minutes of HD material to MPEG-2 DVD using the VBR 2-pass method). This means that with such longer material, the CPU and memory performance comes more into play.
Oh, did I forget to mention that Western Digital and its HGST subsidiary are the only brands that offer a consumer-level (desktop, as opposed to enterprise) 4TB hard drive that spins at 7200 RPM? (Seagate's 4TB hard drive spins at only 5900 RPM while Toshiba does not currently offer a consumer-level 4TB hard drive.) Outside of WD and HGST, you'll have to buy a much more expensive enterprise-level drive to even find a 4TB drive that spins at 7200 RPM.
And unfortunately, at current street prices, the lower-end GT/GTX 6xx series GPUs are just too expensive for their performance. In fact, the GTX 650 Ti Boost and the GTX 660 are both priced too close to that of a GTX 760 for their own good right now (unless you go for a card that's equipped with the less desirable 1GB VRAM configuration based on either of those GPUs).

Advise for PC Build for Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Affect Effects..

I'm new to Adobe CS6 products and I'm looking to build a pc that would perform well in these applications. Partially, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Affect Effects. I would rather not to have upgrade any of the coponents for the next 3-4 years.
I would like to keep the budget for the PC itself under $2,500 if possilble. I would also like to have a very effective system for the price.
One of the problems I'm running into is the gpu. I can't decide between the gtx 570 2.5 gb for around $300 new, the gtx 580 3 gb (arond $500 new), or the gtx 670/680 4gb. Does the gtx 680 run great in photoshop and premiere pro? I noticed it's not offically supported in either at this moment. And would like to hear more about it's compatiablity or lack there of.
Right now, I'm thinking about a setup like this:
Intel Core i7-3820
Asus P9X79 Motherboard
GPU (between 570 2.5gb, gtx 580 3 gb, or gtx 670/680 4gb)
32 gb of Corsair Vengeance Ram
Samsung 8300 256 gb SSD (for programs and operating system)
x3 Western Digital Caviar Black 1 Tb

aka, would buying a gtx 680 4gb make sense (to you) for a $2,500 USD build?
Not with that budget. It is too expensive within that budget range and goes at the cost of other much needed components.
With the currrent state of things (without further updates from adobe) would you run the gtx 680 with premiere pro or would you prefer the gtx 580?
Again, with your budget limitation you are better of going for the GTX 570, that performs almost equally well as the 580 or 680, but saves a lot of money.
With the budget in mind, would a i7-3930k be a worthy upgrade ove a i7-3820? Would this help performance more than the upgrade from a gtx 570 2.5 gb to a gtx 680 4 gb?
Both Yes.

GTX 770 in Premiere Pro 5.5 not performing well.

I bought a GTX 770 to improve the mercury playback performance in Premiere Pro 5.5. So far I see no improvements at all over my previouse 9600 GT card. Am I wasting my money and should I send it back, or are there some settings that I´m missing? I have added the GTX 770 to the cuda supported card list and switched on mercury playback in Premiere. I have also checked that cuda is enabled for Premiere Pro in the Nvidia control panel.

I have this setup:
CPU: i7 920, 2.67GHz

I guess, from what I can read of the table I belong in the GTX 650 segment, so I´m not that much of. Anyway after reading the link John posted it cleared up a couple things for me. CUDA only accelerate some effects while I thought it would enhance everything. I tried putting Magic lantern 5D3 raw footage in the timeline and was hoping it would play smoothly. I was also hoping the dynamic link from after effects would perform better with nativ 5D3 HD material.
The slow CPU (unless heavily overclocked) and the low amount of RAM are your two bottlenecks. In addition, the version of Magic lantern you used might not support GPU acceleration in Premiere Pro CS5.5 (if it doesn't, then the renders will be entirely in software-only mode).

Notebook qualified for Premiere Pro CS4

For $100 more the laptop has 6gb ram and NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 2GB graphics with Optimus... would the difference in running PP CS4 be only marginal, or would it result in extremely worthy improvements?
I use a desktop for editing but want to be able to use a laptop while I'm mobile, so I just want to assure I purchase a notebook that won't crash often or run too slow to bear while using PP.
also wondering if a notebook with a drive that's only 5400 rpm would be acceptable if I'm also using an eSata?
Thank you for your insight in advanced.

I second Harm's and John's recomendations. That XPS 15, as configured as listed above, does not meet Adobe's practical minimum requirements for either CS4 or CS5. In fact, CS4 actually demands far more RAM than it it constrained to use (as a 32-bit program), meaning that it will never perform well regardless of the platform because CS4 relies extremely heavily on the pagefile due to the lack of total RAM support.
And even if you plan to upgrade to CS5.5, that laptop suffers from several limitations:
1) The i5-2410M, like all other mobile i5 CPUs, is only dual-core. And given that no desktop dual-core system performs as well as even a mediocre quad-core system, the dual-core laptops will likely be even slower than most of the desktop dual-core systems.
2) The laptop has only 4GB of RAM. Unfortunately, the XPS 15 (in most configurations) does not support more than 8GB total of RAM. This means that you'd have to max out on the total RAM capacity just for Premiere Pro to even run acceptably well - and then, only if you choose a quad-core i7 (as in i7-2xxxQM).
3) Because mobile hard drives are typically slower-performing than their desktop counterparts, consider an SSD instead as the laptop's system drive. But then, you'd have to put up with only one eSATA port and two USB 3.0 ports to connect an external hard drive.
4) The GeForce GT 525M is barely adequate for CS5.x (if you choose to upgrade Premiere Pro to the latest version): It uses only DDR3 memory (current fast GPUs use (G)DDR5 memory), and it has only 96 CUDA cores. As such, it would be nearly two times slower than a fast mobile GPU.
5) Dell often includes a fair amount of bloatware pre-installed on their systems - and the bloatware seriously degrades system performance. What's more, some of that bloatware cannot be easily uninstalled - and some parts of the bloatware are left on the system to screw up overall system performance even if the main bloatware apps are uninstalled.
Put them all together, and you might very well end up with a system whose overall performance ranking is at or very near the very bottom of the PPBM5 results list on the PPBM5 site. In fact, even if you use CS4 and run PPBM4, your ranking would still be very near the bottom of the PPBM4 results list on the PPBM4 site.

Where can I find Plugins / Transitions for Premiere Pro CS5 (not Cs 5.5 or 6) ?

Hello,
I am searching and searching for transition packs for Premiere Pro CS5, there are lots for 5.5 or 6 but none for 5. At least I could't find them.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Chances are most plug-ins working for the later versions will also work for CS5, but you can check with each company if you're not sure.
