Graphics cards for CS6 GPU features

What graphic card is now the best for CS6 GPU features? (price maximally 200USD, system W7, I work only with 2D ). Thank you

You need to look at what card would best suit the rest of your system.  Balance is important, and you'd be wasting your dollars putting a really high end card in an otherwise mediocre system.  So what do have currently have, and what are your other system specs?

  • Graphics Card for CS6

    I have an NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT.  Is this powerful enough for the new fetures in CS6 Production Premium?  What card would you recommend for under $500?

    Everything else needs no discussion. These lists are scripture and dictate your choice - if you really want to use these GPU features. And a 9800 wasn't even supported in Premiere Pro CS5, if I remember correctly, so you're quite behind the times, anyway.

  • Compatibility with new graphics cards for CS6

    Hi,
    I'm a video/photo editor and I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card to one with mercury playback.  I noticed on Adobe's requirements page that cs6 only supports the geforce gtx 500 series but I want to upgrade to something more recent like the geforce gtx 700 or 800 series. I'm wondering if I upgrade will adobe automatically support it or will I have to go into adobe's coding and add it in?

    Ask in the Premiere or whatever forum.

  • New Nvidia Graphics Cards for Premiere GPU Acceleration

    Hi! I'm looking for a new laptop. Under the list of the cards usesd for GPU Acceleration in Premiere (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.edu.html), none of the new GTX 700m's are listed. Is the list of acceptable GPUs out of date and the 700s do work, or do the 700s really not work? Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    For Premiere Pro CC we made some chnages to our GPU support. See this post by Al Mooney.
    Also, some customers may be aware that in the past there was a not-so-secret way of enabling non-supported GPUs by the ‘hacking’ or removal of a text file. This is no longer necessary in Premiere Pro CC. As long as you have a reasonably modern card with at least 1GB of VRAM, you will still be able to enable that card in the Project Settings dialog. A warning message will appear letting you know that your card has not been certified by Adobe, but once that dialog is clicked through you can use your GPU. The team does try to certify as many GPUs as possible, but we can’t test everything, so this is a way to let you decide if you’re happy using an untested configuration.

  • Premiere CS5 - Graphics cards for GPU acceleration

    Hello everyone
    In the system requirements under "Supported NVIDIA graphics cards for GPU acceleration" are the following graphics cards listed:
         GeForce GTX285
         GeForce GTX470
    why are only these two GeForce Cards supported?
    Why are the other NVIDIA cards like
         GTX460
         GTX480
         GTX560
         GTX570
         GTX580
    not listed?
    What about support of SLI configuration?
    What is better, a 2 x GTX470 configuration or a single GTX580 ?
    Thanks for your responses in advance.
    Regards
    Urs

    The guys at Studio One did some tests and wrote this interesting article:
    http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm
    It seems that the RAM speed (DDR5 v/s DDR3) is more relevant than any other factor...
    The GTX 470 has more cuda cores than a lot of the more expensive cards... go figure?!

  • Passive graphics card for 2-monitor setup

    I am looking for a graphics card for use with 2 monitors in a dual monitor configuration that has:
    Passive cooling
    1 x DVI port
    1 x DisplayPort
    I'm aware that CS6 can  make use of some of the more advanced graphics card features, such as Open CL, but I don't understand the technicalities of this, nor what this implies when choosing a card.  I will not be doing any video-editing, video playback or gaming. 
    My questions are:
    Would a card such as the Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 Ultimate provide full support for CS6, without being overkill? (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1088&pid=1240&psn=&lid= 1&leg=0)  -  I thought that the "low active power consumption and Dynamic Power Management" features seem a good idea, since the card will never be used very intensively.
    Or would the much cheaper Zotac Synergy Edition GeForce GT 210 be just as good for my needs. (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1088&pid=1240&psn=&lid= 1&leg=0)
    Or are there other types of cards that would be more appropriate?
    And finally, can you connect a single-link DVI device to a dual-link DVI port?  (If so, I would like the DVI port to be dual-link, for future compatibility.  If not, it will need to  be single-link, for my current hardware.)

    For the benefit of anyone searching on this topic in the future, a posting of this question on Silent PC Review (http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=65413) yielded some extremely helpful responses.

  • Will 3rd party graphics card for MacPro1.1?

    Hello, all! ^^
    I'm looking for a replacement graphics card for my MacPro 1.1 and now narrowing down to:
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT or 8800 GT now.
    I'm looking at used ones now and wondering if 3rd party cards with those chipset above will work or,
    if it has to be exactly Nvidia Geforce cards.
    Can anyone help, please?
    Thanks! ^^

    Upgrade OS X to Snow Leopard and replace the GPU with Apple's ATI 5770.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor

           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Best graphics card for the MAC Pro 4,1

    I am using the 4870 card, but, is there a better graphics card for doing photography with Adobe CS5 Extended and Lightroom 3?
    Thank you.

    While recently discontinued, you can probably get your hands on an nVidia GTX 285 fairly easily. It's not only faster than your Radeon HD4870, it has double the video memory, and more importantly it's on the shortlist of cards that are support hardware acceleration of the Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe CS5. That's a HUGE feature, if you use Premiere or After Effects, it's probably worth the price of admission right there. I've got one in my machine, works wonders. Aside from a zippy system, lots of basic stuff that used to have to be rendered in order to preview no longer require it.
    The nVidia Quadro FX 4800 is also a bigger/faster card, and provides even more powerful support for the Mercury Playback Engine in CS5, but it's also vastly more expensive. As I type this the price is $1799 at Apple, and $1399 most everywhere else (Apple store managers, if you're seeing this you might want to check for a price drop).
    That's the current max, but it's possible that new graphics cards are right around the corner. In the spring nVidia introduced their next generation of GPU, there are a range of new GTX 4xx series cards on the mainstream line, and just last week new Quadro cards were launched for the high end. Adobe does not support either of them for CS5's Mercury Playback Engine hardware acceleration at this moment, but Adobe employees have said that it's coming in an update soon.
    It's also likely that the ATI Radeon HD 5770 & Radeon HD 5870 will be released for the Mac. My understanding is that the 5770 performance is on par with your HD 4870, and the 5870 will blow it away. Both the new ATI cards also boast two mini displayport plugs as well as a DVI out. Neither card is likely going to get support for hardware acceleration in CS5 anytime soon (not really Adobe's fault, ATI are still in their infancy on the high performance/OpenCL front compared to nVidia).
    My advice, if you need something now, chase down a GTX 285 and you won't be disappointed (especially in CS5). Otherwise, you may want to wait it out and jump on the next generation if/when it becomes available.
    Hope that helps!

  • Best Graphics Card for Photo Editing

    Hello All,
    I am a professional photographer. I currently use Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4.1. I am in the process of having a new computer built just for editing my photography. The board will be an ASUS P9X79 with an intel Core i7-3820 and 16 GB memory. The technician building the computer would like a recommendation of the fastest and or best graphics card for editing still images.
    All of my work is done in RAW from a 5D MII. 21 megapixel.
    Processing speed has always been a bottleneck for me and Lightroom 4 has not helped.
    Can anyone please recommend the best or fastest graphics card for this system?
    Thank you, Jim

    I would focus on your PS CS5 requirments. If you intend on using a wide gamut display at some point I'd give serious consideration to graphics card that will truly support 30 bit display data (10bit/color) in PS CS5/6.There are only a handful of graphics cards that actually support a 30 bit data path with PS CS5/6. Some links:

  • Graphics card for Satellite L450-188

    Are you able to buy an advanced graphics card for this a TOSHIBA SATELLITE L450-188 instead of the bog standard one which comes with the machine because the frame rendering rate when i watch DVD's are appalling and also I am doing a Graphics A-Level so i need to use Adobe Photoshop's 3-D features but as expected the graphics card is not fast enough or big enough to support it please could somebody help??

    Unfortunately, the laptop is not designed for Cpu and Gpu upgrade. Thats' why it's recommended to think well before purchasing for what purposes you will use it. In the most laptopsthe

  • HT4664 What is the best graphics card for FCPX?

    In the nonstop anti-FCPX propaganda is an article of interest — posted 7/9/12 — comparing the benchmarks of FCPX and PP6.
    http://www.streamingmedia.com/Producer/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=83582 &PageNum=1
    The system used was a 2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro from early 2009 running MacOS X version 10.7.4 with 12 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 graphics card with 1.5 GB of onboard RAM.
    In most cases PP6 outperformed FCPX with this configuration. However, in the comments Ben Balser pointed out that FCP X's A/VFoundation engine wasn't ideal on the NVIDA card:
    "Quadro is actually not the best card for FCP X's A/VFoundation engine, but great for CS6's Mercury engine, so the test is amazingly flawed right there. Try both on a 5780 card and watch things drastically change. I've done that test myself. Exporting to Compressor uses a MUCH more sophisticated encoding engine meant for higher level, professional transcoding, not simple outputs, which are faster using Export Media…"
    Apple lists this card on its support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    So,
    What is the best graphics card for FCPX?

    Ben,
    Thanks for chiming in on that article. It would be good to have a benchmark comparison with the two systems each with a preferred card.
    I'm hoping to see some other comparisons on this thread. Also, some links to other articles about best practices and configurations.

  • Graphics Card for Xserv G5

    Please help!
    Apple can't.....
    We have a G5 Xserv, that we desparately need a Graphics Card for. Apple say they can't supply it (their most useful suggestion was to buy one of the new core-duo machines as they ship with a graphics card as standard!).
    Xserv G5
    2GHz PowerPC G5
    2GB DDR400 ECC SDRAM - 2x1GB
    1000GB ADM (2x500GB Serial ATA)
    I believe we need a PCI-X card?
    Any ideas where I can get one or what the alternatives are? It can be a very basic card - nothing hardcore required in terms of graphics performance. If it could only draw the desktop in black and white, it would do!
    Thoughts?
    Xserv G5/2Ghz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The Radeon 7000 PCI card is based on the same GPU that Apple once shipped as the BTO Xserve video option - ATI RV100 - so it is worth a try.
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/DeveloperNotes/Servers/XserveG5/2Architecture/chapter_3_section7.html
    Any basic ATI should be supported by the OS because ATI was Apple's default video provider for much of this time period.
    Note that using a PCI video card will limit the speed of any PCI-X cards you also have installed, but that shouldn't effect your actual performance probably.
