Gtx 680 in CS5.5 and in CS6.0

Hello guys!
I d like to ask if gtx 680 are supported at all by any of CS5.5 or CS6.0? would 680 be better then 580 concidering it has more cudas and pci e3, but only 256bit?
Also does CS6.0 supports now 2 gpu ? cards like 590 for example or simple sli? its just i read that with cs6 u can use 2 cards quadro and tesla for the max performance.....
thanks in advance!

Anyone that expected a three times improvement going to the GTX 680 must not be living in the real technical world!  Here are test results on 4 different GPU's on my own private benchmark on MPEG2-DVD and H.264.(the most GPU dependent scores).
There are finite changes that can be gained because of other limiting factors Since, for instance, I do not have a PCIe 3.0 motherboard--yet. .  So is it worthwhile upgrading from the two middle boards probably not, but if you are doing a lot of encoding and time is precious to you, you and you alone, will have to decide.  This is why back in 2005 I decided Premiere needed an application specific benchmark--hence PPBM was borne.  Thanks to Harm's great business background (and technical knowledge) these efforts have now grown and we now have in PPBM5 860 results for you to analyze and guide your computer system design

  • CC 2014 and GTX 680 Graphics Card for Mac

    I am using a NVIDA GTX 680 card for Mac and with Premiere CC and I can use the Mercury Engine with Cuda. I am running a Mac Pro 12 Core with OS 10.8.5. When I launched CC 2014 it told me to update the Cuda drivers for my card otherwise Premiere could not access the Cuda drivers. Question I have is does anyone know the driver numbers I need to have and do I have to upgrade to Mavericks to take advantage of the drivers. Once these drivers are installed will it interfere with using Cuda in Premiere CC?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Yes, Premiere Pro CC adds full GPU acceleration certification for the GeForce GTX 680 on Mac.

  • PS6 Video using NVIDIA GTX 680 card in 2009 Mac Pro OS 10.9.4- slow.

    Hi,
    I just put a GTX 680 in my juiced up Mac Pro, replacing the original NVDIA 120... and the speeds in PS6 doing video seem to be exactly the same as before..... What are the settings I should have in preferences? Do I need a driver or anything? Looking in the graphics card part of PS6 prefs, it seems to be registering the 680..... and everything works... but I see no difference in any speed.
    Any advice?

    Hi,
    I've done all the preferences I can find online.
    If I turn "use Graphics processor" to "off"... it seems to make no difference to the video speeds- playback, export...
    Have I just wasted $700 on the GTX 680?
    I'm running Photoshop CS6 Extended.... does this mean the videon editing does NOT use the GPU?
    Please offer some insight, advice or information...
    Thanks

  • Adobe's site not showing Nvidia GTX 680 as officially supported

    Hi everyone, ( July 9, 2012 )
    Planning a new system, and I KNOW that the Nvidia GTX 680 is indeed working with PP CS6 and earlier, but I just checked Adobe's site, and there
    is not even a hint of the Nvidia GTX 680 being a supported card.
    Adobe link to officially supported cards: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
    Any reason why ?  Do they need elaborate testing on it, before they can "officially" add it to the list ?
    I just want to make 100% certain the Nvidia 680 is indeed OK to purchase.
    Thanks !
    now I'll duck some bullets, because this question has prob been asked before.
    Dave.

    >need elaborate testing
    Yes
    The official list is ALWAYS behind new cards

    Not sure if this is the appropriate forum but...
    I'm about to pre-order my upgrade to CS5.5 Design Premium but it looks like Media Encoder isn't part of it any more. Can someone confirm whether or not it will be included, as it was in CS5, and CS4 before that?

  • Two GTX 680's for Mac in MacPro 5,1?

    I'm setting up a Mac Pro 5,1 for Octane Render (CUDA hungry).
    I'm looking at two "GTX 680's for Mac" and know the second will require some external power.
    Any suggestions on product to power second card?
    Thanks!

    Most buy a 450W PSU to go outside or in the optical drive bay, either will do the job but the cables are messy.

  • CS6 and gtx 680 or 780?

    Hello
    i am planing to upgrade my pc (i7 950 , win 7 64 ultimate, 24gb ram )  and i have CS6 production premium with latestest updates. Right now i have evga gtx 580 3GB classified.... i bought last year as i oonly had pci e 2, so decided there were no point to pay more for gtx 680 ..... but Now i will upgrade everything Cpu, mother board and so on..... so will get pci e 3.0
    Anyway i d like to find out is it worth for me as CS6 owner to upgrade my GPU as well? does CS6 with latest updates supports newer GPUs like gtx 680 or 690 or 780 or that gtx Titan?
    BTW what is that GeForce GTX TITAN? is it much different from 780? it was easier to understand when there was just numbers in the name .....but now Titan - what is it? the price difference is like double....
    i just use Premier for now and still learning , so mostly my consirns are if newer card will work with cs 6 and if i will get some gain? also is it important to get more GB in GPU memory?
    regards

    But what is the best GPU i could get for CS6 premier pro 6.0.5. and i dont plan to update to CC at all..... learning and plan to use free version of BM resolve  ! what is the best natively supported card with in GTX family? as i understood officially its GTX 580, or with latest updates it supports 6xx cards?
    as i understood you guys do some manipulation with the code in order to support latest cards, after that is done - latest cards are fully supported, same as if that would be a natively supported cards? i have not decided yet but i maybe get 780 or titan if its 100% supported
    and if i remember dual gpu cards are not supported with CS6 , as well as sli . or it was changed with latest updates?

  • Premiere Pro CS6 and GTX 680

    I recently upgraded my video card from a GTX 580 to a GTX 680. At first, PP did not recognize the card and I had to manually add it to the config(?) file.
    My problem is that PP CS6 makes very poor use of my new card. My render times are slower than before. When I check the GPU usage, it keeps jumping up and down. It never reaches above 40 odd percent.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    My gush! Really? I was aware of  the official approve for AE, but did not know that they finally got the 680 in the list for PP...
    Well, I even would be happy to change the code every time an update was released, as long as the playback issue was not a concern...
    Thank you for letting me know... I can finally realized this rig that I was trying to figure out for months now... Phieeew... 
    This was the last piece in the puzzle...
    cheers
    Okay so I checked the list which is not updated neither for AE nor for PP! They stand still and not validating any of the GTX6xx cards!
    Now I am wondering if what you meant was the official support for AE?

  • 2009 Mac Pro upgrading graphics card to GTX 680 mac. What is the best version of AE and PP and OSX to have?

    Hello,
    I have a 2009 Mac Pro 4.1
    Mac OSX version 10.6.8
    Processor - 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory - 24GB
    Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 4870
    I use After Effects and Premiere Pro daily for my work. I am not too technically minded. I want to update and improve my machine as much as possible and am thinking of buying an SSD drive to replace my current start up disk. I also am thinking about getting the GTX 680 mac version graphics card. I have read many online discussions regarding OpenCL and CUDA, many discussions with mixed feelings about the improvements the 680 gives an older Mac Pro - some people say it is amazing others say the improvements seem minimal or worse.
    What I want to know is if I purchase the SSD and 680 graphics card what is the optimal OSX - 10.8 or 10.9? and what is the optimal versions of AE and PP to have - CS6 or CC? Also what settings and what additional drivers would I need to consider?
    I contacted an independent authorised mac reseller and he thought it was a bad idea to put a new graphics card and get the latest OSX in an old machine and tried to sell me a used 2010 Mac Pro, but I think it would be more cost effective to get the SSD and 680 instead, it's just I read the occasional horror story on a forum and I worry about making the wrong choice, I rely on my Mac Pro to make a living!
    Thanks in advance

    Thank you for the valuable information Eric, I think I will go with the 680 but I understand that it wont be fully utilised on my old Mac Pro.
    Perhaps I will replace my startup/applications hard drive with a 480GB SSD. My other 3 bays are full with 3 x 2TB Hard drives that have media on them so I have no spare room for a dedicated SSD drive for AE cache. But could I put a 250GB SSD into one of the PCI-E slots using something like - SSD SuperSpeed Upgrade Kit for Apple Mac Pro 2008 2009 2010 2012 | eBay
    Would this be my best solution? Is it a relatively simple installation, does anyone have any experience of a similar setup?
    cc_merchant, thank you for the reply, I am aware you have to pay monthly payments for CC, that is no problem.

  • 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 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...

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 mercury playback engine will be supported on GTX 680

    Could someone please confirm if Premiere Pro CS5.5 mercury playback engine will be supported on GTX 680.
    thanks

    Jim,
    Your comment was based upon results from the 560 Ti 448 card and that is € 240 or more. The 680 is € 440. That is 45% difference: € 440 - (0.45x440) = € 440 - € 198 = € 242
    Your comparison is based on a € 200 GTX 560 model, which only achieves a score of around 120 seconds, which is 55% less expensive (€ 440 - (0.55x440) = € 440 - € 242 = € 198) and more than 225% slower (120 / 53 = 2.26)
    So for 55% less expenditure, you lose more than 225% performance. That is very disappointing and would rank in the 'penny-wise-pound-foolish' savings. (But that is how your system can be ranked, at least in the past). There is another major flaw in your reasoning, you are only considering number of CUDA cores, nothing else. You are disregarding all the other aspects of the new architecture and that makes your argument very weak and flawed. You have to consider the number of cores AND the memory bus in combination. Something you obviously overlooked, but although the number of cores tripled in comparison to the 580, the memory bus was reduced to 256 bits width, a 50% reduction. That means that at best the expected performance gain could be 0.5 (memory bus) x 3 (number of cores) = 1.5 and not your 300%.
    To summarize:
    Now if you want to go the other way, with the 680 as the baseline, you'd say that for 60% less money, you still get 80% of the performance.
    For 55% less money, you get 44% of the performance on this test.

  • Quadro K2000 vs Geforce GTX 680 for AE CS6

    Hi,
    I want to buy one of these two cards for using with After Effects CS6. The price point of these two are about the same, although the GTX is a bit cheaper. The specs of the GTX 680 on the other hand are much more appealing then the Quadro K2000.
    Especially for the Ray-Traced Renderer the 1536 CUDA Cores vs 384 CUDA Cores seems much better.
    The only donwside I could find is, that the GTX uses about 4 times the power of the Quadro and is going to be louder. Also the driver for the Quadro is working more stable than the Geforce driver.
    Am I missing anything here or would be the GTX be the better choice?
    Kind regards
    Christian

    Christian,
    The main performance determining factor for a video card is the memory bandwidth, not the amount of memory. Memory bandwidth is more important than number of cores too.
    See a limited performance comparison here: Video Card Performance and scroll down a bit till you see the relevant graph.
    Interpolating, one would expect the performance of the K2000 to be between the GTX 550 Ti and the GT 640,  possibly with a score around 120-130 seconds, around 4 times slower than a GTX 680.

  • Will After Effects CS6 support the new EVGA GeForce GTX 680 for Mac?

    With this new graphics card out will Adobe/Mac OS X add support for it in AE CS6 for excellerated graphics and ray traced 3D? Also, will Adobe bring back live 3D from Photoshop to AE?

    Sorry, should have been more specific. I was referring to this desktop card the Gforce GTX 680 (mac edition) http://www.evga.com/articles/00730/. I just saw a recent article about its release but not sure how long it has been out and not sure what evga is. I'm in the learning phase of all the ins and outs of graphics card compatibility and the manufactures intent. I'm curious about inserting it into my Mac Pro 2010 and getting improved performance along with accelerating my processing in After Effects CS6 since it has an ATI card with no CUDA architecture. Want to beef my RAM too. So I'm wondering if this card is A. Compatible with my machine/OS and B. If Adobe will add it to its list of supported CUDA cards. Again, not sure if this is an Adobe thing or an OS thing, I heard on some tutorial video that Mac OS is part of the issue. I am aware of the current state of limbo Mac Pro users are in with Apple's hiatus from a major update to this line. But even with a major new release my employer won't be in the market for that kind of investment which sucks because I'd like to move to thunderbolt for my video storage. Personally, I'm investing in a MBP with the 650M card which I've done tests with and it beats my Mac Pro with having CUDA. As for 3D layers from Photoshop to AE it is just kind of makes sense as well as being a price point issue. If you can draw and create 3D objects in PS why not be able to animate them in AE? Just like being able to animate AI and PS layers, it should be one big happy Adobe family, no? Why pay for Cinema 4D if I don't need it for everyday advanced 3D work? I do however love the Element plug-in from Video Co-pilot and it works great so that is my solution for now, then 4D if I get into more advanced custom 3D. But still you should be able to make 3D objects in PS and bring them in to AE, it just makes sense.
