GTX 680 4GB and slow render/export

Hopefully someone can help me out.
I used to have a crappy old graphic card and recently upgraded to a EVGA GTX 680 4GB (CLASSIFIED model).
My systems specs are:
i7 930 @ 2.8Mhz
EVGA GTX 680 4GB
Win 7 64 Ultimate
24GB DDR3
PP CS6 (6.0.3) installed on SSD drive
Scratch disk - Source/Export are seperate drives (both 3TB USB 3.0 drives)
I am currently editing a music video with DSLR 1080p footage. At most, 2 layers of footage, basic transitions and some sharpening/color correction layers. Nothing that my old card was fussy about.
The MPE (GPU CUDA acceleration) is enabled in Premiere Pro. I do see a difference when building my clips, the timeline stays mostly yellow instead of completely red. My CPU isn't freaking out as it used to with my old card, so I do see a performance increase at that level. However, if I try to render my timeline or export, it takes so long! To export my 3 minute music video clip, I takes approx. 43 minutes (in 720p).
I know each video project is unique, but similar projects processed with my old card appeared to be exported/rendered faster than with my new card.
What am I doing wrong? Any obvious pointers?
Any help/tips will be appreciated.
Thank you so much!

so even with a powerful GTX 680 4GB these rather basic video edits (color correction/de-noiser) will take that much time?

Todd has some stuff he wrote in help files about this stuff... spread out over various areas of forums ( ae, pre pro, etc. ).. and basically what you're getting out of cuda with cool card is very good and fast ( using graph card ram, gpu etc ). So really ...it does make editing faster and smoother etc...
BUT when you get to the export stage you're using the CPU , not the GPU anymore...although I think you can play around with pre rendering stuff and maybe then use 'rendered' files ...and gain a fraction of time on export.. I'm not experienced much with this at all...so what I'm saying is based on what I've read over the last year or so here in the forums etc.
What you call " basic" and simple really isn't so basic and simple in terms of what the program(s) is doing.. as the stuff has is really math intensive ( cpu is working it's little heart out )...and you are getting the product..but it's gonna take the time it takes using what it can use....
sorry, but there's no magic solution to making changes and then switching from gpu to cpu final export etc.
I just bought a custom made computer I call the " pig " ( it is HUGE )..and working with mov h264 native ( which is great cause before that had to be converted to avi etc ).. in the long run I save ton of time editing native with pig, but exports are slow even with pig...its fact of life , but cs6 and pig is doing well with it so far...

NVidia GTX 680 4GB video card - Comments.....

I will be installing my new GTX 680 4GB this weekend... does anyone know if I will see a significant boost in speed & performance (in PP and/or SG). I have 8-core (mid 2010) MacPro w/ 28G RAM (on Mountain Lion). My stock 5770 is basically unuseable for any serious work. I'd love everyones thoughts on this.... PLZ!!

It depends. You will want to pay more attention to the effects you use so that you stick with the CUDA accelerated ones as much as possible. And certainly, make sure you are using the harware aqccelerated Mecury settings.
I don't know if I see an increase in speed, but since I no longer have to render except once in a blue moon, I would say the performance is far superior.
I only have the 4G GTX670, not quite as powerful, but I have no complaints.

Msi gtx 680 4gb waterblocks

what waterblocks can I absolutely fit on my MSI gtx 680 4gb?
looking for an answer from a MSI rep or someone who has personally fit a block on this specific card (yes i'm aware of the ek cooling config site, i'd rather not use EK if possible)

If you are looking for MSI tech answer ask MSI: >>How to contact MSI.<<
None the less this is a custom PCB design and no full cover water block is offered for that.

GTX 680 4gb GOP bios?

I have a MSI GTX 680 4gb Twin Frozr OC, I was wondering if a GOP bios was out or what I would need to do to get it working, I'm running windows 8 and I would like to take advantage of the quick boot times.

You will need to request this from MSI.
They do not have a GOP Vbios available for the 4GB Hynix version of that card yet.

GTX 680 Lightning very slow

Hello there,
I'm stuck with the installation of the graphic card MSI GTX 680 Lightning, which is very, very slow. For sake of comparison, it does not score even 9000 in 3D Mark, while my previous Radeon 5770 reached 17000 without any problem.
I tried several actions:
Remove drivers with drive sweeper under safe mode.
Installed updated drivers.
Reinstalled Win 7 64 bits
None of that make any difference. If I return to the previous card, the system works well again.
My PC is:
Processor: Intel Quad Core i7-960 (chipset Intel X58 (Tylersburg 36S) + ICH10R)
Mobo: XFX MB-X58I-CH19
Memory: 12 GB (Kingston 4096 MB PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM triple channel)
HDs: SATA 3 Gb/s SAMSUNG HD321KJ and SATA 6 Gb/s ST2000DL003-9VT166
PSU: Corsair TX850
Operational System: Windows 7 64 bits Ultimate
Graphic card: MSI N680GTX Lightning 2 GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3
Does anybody have any idea on what should I do to make it work?
Could it be some incompatibility with my mobo?
Best regards,
Antonio Intini

What does gpuz say? (Can you post a screen shot)
Have you installed Afterburner? Is it throttling or anything when using kombuster?
Can you upload a copy of your vbios somewhere for svet to take a look?
<<<NVFLASH>>>
with syntax from cmd:
nvflash -b myrom.rom [ENTER]
then upload myrom.rom somewhere and give a link to it
Are you using the newest applicable bios for your mobo? (Since the booting is an issue this may be easy)
**EDIT: I have been having issue with LUCID MVP since I installed my 680 (not lightning though) I am not sure if that mobo is equiped, might want to try uninstalling if it is and see if it is better.
Hello Xmad,
I updated my BIOS today with the latest file from XFX. Good news: the processor speed is now OK, though SM2 and SM3 in 3dMark are still bad:
Overall score: 11715 (target 19200, but it was not above 8000 before the BIOS update)
SM2 score: 3791 (target 7300)
SM3 score: 5530 (target 10000)
CPU score: 4836 (target 4700) -> great!
I tried to use NVFlash, but it does not run in Win 7 64bits - do you have a version for 64 bits?
Apparently the graphic card works well with Kombustor benchmarkings:

Any suggestion of a next step?

Multiple video tracks and slow render

I have two video tracks. Everytime that I move the video on either track it has to re-render all the affected areas of the movie, but all I need it to do is switch to the highest video track. I don't need it to render at all. I'm sure I never had this problem before. Was this introduced by a newer version of Final Cut or have I introduced a new setting? This version is much slower on my C2D than it ever was on my iMac G3.

Check item properties for your clips and see if they match item properties for the sequence. They should be exactly the same.

I just created a slide show with music and tried to export it to a thumb drive to play on another computer. File seemed too large and slow to export, so I deleted the music. Now, I can't get the music back on it and don't know what to do...

Can't export my slide show. Is the file too big? Tried to export without music. Now, can't get the music back into it.

Lagging pixels on video while editing and after render-export. -How do I fix this? the original media is Crystal clear.

Hello guys,
I am trying to edit some gameplay footage I captured using "AverMedia Game Capture HD", but whenever I import the media (at 1080i),
There are pixels that hang on the video player, mostly when the camera is turning left to right,
and on occasion, some random color blurs that bloom out of nowhere.
I attached a image so you can see what it looks like:
Here is what the video looks like after it is rendered and exported.
Along with the visual pixels, it also displays horizontal lines. (possibly due to my export settings, I was in a hurry just to test it)
Both the capture device and final cut pro x are upgraded to the latest firmware/updates.
I am using HD AC Component cables (blue green red) both for in and out connections between ps3 - cap device - tv.
The capture device automatically records files to mpeg-4.
The resolution of the tv, and recorded footage is in 1080i (1920 × 1080) and the quality looks great when I play it through quick time or any other media players:
Any tips or info? I have been using Final Cut pro x since it was released. I am not a professional but I have used it for some very important jobs thorugout the year, but I am really stumped with this.
Overview:
-Media info
File Type: mpeg-4
Codec: H.264, AAC
Dimensions: 1080i (1920 × 1080)
Thankyou for the help!

Alright, lets get the good news out first:
Converting the file definitely fixed the pixel issues.
However, there where frequent "blips" of some frames that disturbed the video.
Also, the converter created a 5GB file that was originally around 300MB!!
It put a serious load on importing, rendering and transcode analysis, however the video played back smoothly, it would be perfect despite the large file size and frequent frame glitches.
This is all due to my lack of knowledge in video property conversion.
At this point, I feel that I am asking for too much, but I am really stumped...
I can try so many possibilities, but this would save me allot of time if I could get the help:
What converter settings should choose to have the optimal video file that,
plays back smoothly,
plays In HD,
is compatible with fcp,
and can still stay moderately low on file size?
Here is the current info on the RAW video file:
Here are the previous settings I used to convert:
(slight improvemnt, but extremely high file size, and still has some frame glitches)
What should I have (not?) done with these options?
(I admit I chose these settings and had no Idea what the heck I was doing)
Again, thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
EDIT:
For reference, This is the new glitch issue I see:
Here is the normal frame,
Here is the next frame when a glitch apears.
It seems to be replying a previous frame in the video.
Also, the horozontal lines do not show during live playback, only when the play head is paused, or when scrubbing.

Is there going to be support by the nvidia web page concerning gtx 680 M and the software features provided for it ( e.g. Drivers, Mac version of 3D TV Play)?

By now there were no imac features to be found on the official nvidia-webpage, though there was full support for windows based products.
I'm certainly satisfied with the product quality and therefor think it would deserve equal maintenance and usability.
yours sincerely

In general, Apple does Not support your using any downloads from their video card Manufacturer's websites. Apple provides you with all of the firmware and driver Updates from Nvidea that they feel are stable with Apple's hardware and logic board in the iMac. The required Updates are provided to you by the OS X Updates Apple periodically provides. iMacs are NOT like a PC in this manner. You do not have to and should not be downloading software from the nVidea site.

When or is it possible that Media Encoder and Encore will get GTX 680 CUDA support?

...and will it really make a difference?
Ive got the Creative Cloud deal, so my software is up to date (CS6) as of 8/16/12, and after installing my new GTX 680 4GB card and enabling it in Premiere and After Effects, I see a nice performance gain over my older GTX 550 ti 1.5GB.
When I drop a finished H.264 Blu-ray file into a sequence and export it from Premiere into AME, my graphics card shows about 40-60% regular usage throughout the encoding, no matter what format I am exporting to. But if I just drop the same original H.264 file into AME and set it to the exact same encode output preset, then the graphics card is not used at all.
Also, when you run GPUSniffer in the Encore program folder, you can see that it will not accept this card for GPU utilization. Ive looked all around for the Encore list of cards database it is pulling from, and Ive concluded that it must be in a compiled DLL file, so unlike Premiere, you cant modify it to detect the GPU. AME does not have either the list of supported cards or the GPUSniffer program in its program folder, so both of these programs will need the GTX 680 added to its list of supported cards by Adobe directly with an update, like they did with After Effects CS6.
I can only imagine that transcoding in either programs would benefit from CUDA accelleration, like a few other transcoding apps out there already use.
If Adobe is listening, the #1 thing I (all of us?) want in CS6 is for all transcoding products (Premiere direct export & projects, After Effects, Media Encoder direct file import, Encore) to utilize GTX 670 680 and 690 cards for accelleration out of the box. I dont want to use some 3rd party transcoder to get GPU aided transcoding, I want my CS6 Master Collection to be able to do it. Not too much to ask right?

Hi, I have written a 'proof-of-concept' (i.e. unsupported beta) NVidia H264-encoder plugin for Adobe Premeire Pro CS6. If you are interested in trying it, go the following forum-post:http://forums.adobe.com/message/5458381
Couple of notes:
(0) GPU requirement: NVidia "Kepler" GPU or later (desktop GTX650 or higher, laptop GT650M or higher.) The plugin uses the new dedicated hardware-encoder (NVENC) introduced with the 2012 Kepler GPU.
(1) the "ideal" best-case speedup (over Mainconcept H264) is roughly 4-5x on a consumer desktop PC (single-socket PC, Intel i5-3570K). Naturally actual results vary on the source-video/render.
(2) Interlaced video encoding is NOT supported. (I couldn't get this to work; I think it's a GPU-driver issue.)
(3) Only uncompressed PCM-audio is supported (no AAC/AC-3 audio.) Also, multiplexing is limited to MPEG-2 TS. If you want to generate *.MP4 files, you'll need to do your own offline postprocessing outside of Adobe.
(4) In terms of picture-quality (artifacts, compression efficiency), NVidia hardware (GPU) encoding is still inferior to software-only solutions (such as Mainconcept or x264.)
In short, don't expect the NVENC-plugin to replace software-encoding any time soon. It's not a production-quality product. And even if it were, software-encoding still has a place in a real workflow; until consumer hardware-GPU encoding can match the video-quality of the Mainconcept encoder, you'll still be using Mainconcept to do your final production video renders.
cuda is meant for general computing including encoding.
if you performe h246 encoding using cuda on gtx680 it can be done 1 minutes for a video that takes 90 minutes on i7 cpu.
At that speed, the output of the hardware-encoder would be so poor, the video may as well be disposable. NVENC is NOT faster than Intel Quicksync; actually Quicksync can be substantially faster. But NVENC (currently) holds the slight edge in compression-quality.
Off on a tangent, CUDA in MPE acceleration offers both speed-advantage and quality-advantage, because the CUDA video-frame processing is highly parallelizable, and can exploit the GPU's numerous floating-point computational-arrays to speed-up processing and do more complex processing. That's a double-win. So what does this have to do with encoding? Right now, hardware video-encoding (which comes after the video-rendering step) only offers improved speed. My experience with NVENC has shown me it does not improved video-quality. At best, it is comparable to good (and slower) software-encoding when allowed high video-bitrates. At lower video-bitrates (such as Youtube streaming), software-encoding is still A LOT better.

GTX 580 3GB or GTX 680 2GB

Hello all, I have a question.
I recently built a x79 3930k sys, I bought a EVGA gtx 580 3GB for the PP MPE....EVGA has a step-up program for 90 days I can step up to a better card. I just bought the card march 3, so I still have a few months. However, I entered their que for a step-up to the gtx 680 2GB for the up in Cuda Cores... but for I have learned from some videos is Adobe After Effects will use all the VRAM (3GB for my 580) and get some sorta performance increase??? Can anyone explain to me what I would be missing
going down to 2GB from 3GB of vram .. I can also cancel my step-up and still reenter for 2 more months.. to see if EVGA offers the 4GB version by then. At that point I would reenter the step up program and upgrade to the gtx 680 4GB.... as it stands I only pay shipping (8.40) for the jump to the 680 2GB, the 4GB version might cost a bit more ($50-100) what the heck should I do... Though I am not using after effects at the moment I anticipate heavy usage.. I am not worried about applying the hack for the 680...

Difficult question to answer at this moment. It depends on a number of things. What kind of material do you edit? If it includes RED 4K or EPIC 5K, I would definitely wait for the 4 GB version, but if you don't do that regularly or only in small amounts then the 2 GB version may suffice. The GTX 680 has of course the advantage of being PCIe-3.0 which can be put to good use on your 2011 platform and supports three or four monitors, something the 580 can't do. Whether the 680 will be faster than the 580 with 3 GB remains to be seen. The number of CUDA cores has tripled, but the memory bus was reduced from 384 to 256 bits, and it is not yet clear what impact that will have on performance.
A second thing to consider is your intended AE use, which you say will be heavy in the future. Tthe fact that After Effects can use multiple GPUs for CUDA computation (for the ray-traced 3D renderer) makes using some GPU setups sensible that may have been a waste for Premiere Pro.
IMO, you currently have the following options, including the announced but not yet available 4 GB versions of the 680:
1. Stick to the 580, but add a 560 Ti for AE and steering a third monitor.
2. Step up to the 680 2 GB for steering a third monitor, but with the risk of running out of VRAM with RED or EPIC material and thus the reduction to software mode only.
3. Step up to the 680 4 GB for steering a third monitor without the risk of software mode fallback.
4. Take a gamble that the 685/690 with a 384 bit memory bus may be announced in the near future (not likely).
The problem is that TSMC, the supplier of the nVidia 28 nm chips has serious difficulty meeting demands for these chips. See http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120405PD218.html

GTX 680: Screen dips to black

Does anyone have a similar exsperience with the GTX 680, 4Gb card:
1. When scrubbing, the image in the composition windows will frequently dip to black momentarily - leaving only the layer wireframe placeholders - as though it's having difficulty keeping up with the demands made upon it.
2. When adding/removing nodes to a mask using the pen tool, the image dips to black for a second or so after each node is added/deleted - leaving visible only the mask path.
This was not a feature of the recently removed Quadro FX3800, 1GB card.
I have tried various preview modes - but to no avail.
It's irritating to say the lease!
Thanks.

Yes I am, Dave, thanks, and no it's not that.
Preview mode is set to adaptive resolution and the timeline updates as I scrub, but intermittently the content across all layers will cut out visually for a second or so - showing only the coloured inverted "V" image place markers. The image returns the moment I stop scrubbing.
I would expect the image to pixellate to a lower resolution whilst scrubbing - if it can't update fast enough - but it doesn't appear to do so.
Also, this doesn't explain the behaviour when using the pen tool (oultined above)....
As I said, this was not a Quadro FX3800 issue.
As an aside, In Adobe Forums, the text entry panel on my PC has started to display in Times Roman all of a sudden, but changes to the correct display font when posted. It's fine on my Laptop and iPad.
Am I having another senior moment?

NVidia GTX 680 preferences?

I'm looking to replace my aging FX3800 with a GTX 680 (either 2GB or 4GB) - largely for PP and AE CS6.
There's such a profusion of manufacturers...
http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/nvidiageforcegraphicscards/nvidiagtx680keple rseries/
...that it's difficult to know which is the best, and what the nuances are - if any.
Any guidance would be extremely welcome. Thanks.

If anyone is wondering how to preview on a (third) external monitor - the GTX 680 4GB is the way to go.
Perfect sync at last - the 2-3 frame delay inherrent in the Blackmagic Intensity Pro has gone. Not only that, but the third monitor can be used as a PC monitor when not using PP CS6 - not possible with the BMIP.
I am also getting 20 tracks of XDCam EX material, all with three-way colour correction and differing layer blend modes. It may do more than 20. I haven't tried. The Quadro FX3800 struggled with 4 (with the BMIP installed)
It's probably complete overkill - as I haven't played a game since Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards in the 80s.

Issues DNxHD & CC2014. V Slow RENDER and Do I remove CC if 2014 now on system?

My Prem Pro CC suddenly v slow to render and export and exporting OUT OF SYNC (H264 etc)
Upgraded to CC2014 yesterday still v slow, constant rendering all timeline for small things like small Jpegs
Old Premier Pro CC still showing on system? Even though upgraded to 2014 Thought 2014 was just upgrade not reinstall. Do I remove CC?
I shot Avid Codec DNxHD 185x (ninja via C100), imported as DNxHD and also tested AVCHD - Been trying to export as h264 1920x1080 various configs tried...out of sync by few frames but think Video slow than audio but not across timeline.
1. DO I remove CC? - I though it was an upgrade not a reinstall
2. How can I improve awful and sudden slow render. I have cleared cache in adobe and PC. System WIN 7 - i7 3770 3,4ghz, 14Gb RAM, GeForce GTX 570 card. This must be software issue? Thanks
3. How to export in synce, timeline is in sync. Have exported VID and AUDIO sepearte and re assembled - didnt work. Have deleted render files and exported - didnt work
V frustrating/
Any help out there??
Thanks
Lorne

CC2014 is a completely separate version And just like in the past old versions are left in place As a fallback option. For your technical isssues with Premiere ask in their forum.
