New MacbookPro with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB for Premiere and Aftereffects CS6, CC and CC14?

I have Premiere Pro and AE CS6.
My Mac got stolen, now i have to buy a new one.
I think about buying the new Macbook Pro Retina with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB Graphicscard.
I want hardware which works fine with both Premiere Pro, AE CS6 and the later versions! (Maybe i want to upgrade some time).
What is the best configuration on a MacBook Pro that i can work with CS6 and later versions as good as possible?
What is Mercury Playback Engine?
What's CUDA?
Can i use this GPU acceleration on the latest Macbook Pro with Nvidia GT 750M card in CS6, CC and CC14?
Thanks very much!
Greetings!

Considering the new 15"...( 13" is USELESS) ...Macbook Pro starts at over $2,500 with the necessary i7 CPU, ( forget i5).....you would be WAY better served to go with a powerful Windows gaming laptop for HALF that price from a company like Asus,or, others.  If money is no object and you MUST go Apple, then, there are SOME pros and some cons.
1. Pro - has Thunderbolt, for hi-speed EXPENSIVE external storage, or, for Hi -res external monitor....however, MY 2 year old Asus laptop HAS a "thunderbolt" port , TOO...which I use to drive a hi-res monitor.
   Con - though NVidia 750m 2GB GPU is adequate for much of the CUDA accelerated operations, newer Windows laptops have more advanced 800 and 900 series GPUs with far more video memory...for HALF the price !
2. Pro -  PPro and AE runs best with Windows 8.1
  Con -  Mac operating system in the recent past has had issues and hiccups vs. Windows in running Premiere Pro....I'm not sure if all that has been fixed at this time.
3. Pro -  newest mac book pro uses PCI SSD storage...amazing transfer speed of data !.....however, a 1TB flavor of this costs an additional $1,000
   Con - not sure of the maximum amount of system memory that can be installed in MBOOK PRO..."Apple Chat" guy says 16GB.....you need at least 24 GB...better to have 32 GB for best  operation. Also, some Windows gaming laptops offer internal RAID options for high speed storage ,or, at least two internal HDD bays for SSDs.
In addition : The "Mercury Playback Engine" is a feature of Premiere pro which allows for the "acceleration" of certain effects and operations on the timeline...in many cases eliminating the the need to "render previews" to see what you are doing. When coupled with a capable NVidia GPU, this acceleration can produce a TEN TIMES IMPROVEMENT in processing the effects,or, operations, ( like "scaling"  and resolution conversions ) using the NVidia ONLY CUDA technology.
In summary, the 16GB memory limit , the lower level NVidia mobile GPU, and EXCRUCIATING HIGH PRICE all tip the scales for me to say : NOOOOOO !!!!!......DON'T DO IT !!!
IF a laptop is a MUST.....go with a Windows gaming rig and READ as much as you can first. If a desktop is a possible solution, you can get WAY better performance than a laptop...especially with today's Haswell E CPUs and the X99 motherboards.
I would wait a little bit for all the machines to hit the market which have the NEW " NVMe" PCI SSDs in them, or, build your own on a motherboard which will NATIVELY have that feature.
Good Luck !

  • Two graphic cards - 1x GTX680 4GB and 1x GTX680 2GB for Premiere and Resolve

    Hi,
    i use 2 Nvidia GTX680 cards. 1 with 4 and the other with 2 GB V-RAM
    For Resolve i want put the displays in the 2GB card for GUI and let the 4 GB card for GPU use only.
    How does this setup work in Premiere. Is Premiere usinh the card where the displays are pluged in? Or does it use the other or maybe both?
    I cant find any informations about that
    Maybe someone can help

    i believe premiere will try to use both video cards, you can check with GPU-Z while working/rendering in premiere.

  • Compatibility of Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti for Premiere Pro

    Hi,
    I am upgrading my workstation and plan to buy a good quality graphic card which will support smooth editing of 1080p footage and some after effects rendering.
    I chose GTX 780 Ti but unfortunately in the compatibility list provided by Adobe, only GTX 780 is supported. So if GTX 780 Ti is used, can I use the Mercury Playback Engine and take full advantage of the graphic card?
    Also is my select correct? I was at first confused selecting between Nvidia  Quadro K4200 and GTX 780 Ti. I will not be using Maya or 3D Max. Only Premiere Pro, After Effects and sometimes Da Vinci Resolve will be used.
    Thanks,
    Srijit

    Yeah, it works great as mentioned in the table with recommended video cards, if you have at least:
    An overclocked I7 6+ core CPU, or Dual E5 6+ core CPU's, and
    64+ GB RAM, and
    800+ MB/s transfer rates on all volumes.
    Otherwise it is overkill and the card will be idle most of the time. See Tweakers Page - Exporting Style

  • Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

    Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, is it worth paying an extra $200?

    Software support of graphics card is key.   If no graphics card is mentioned in software specs, then it can be ignored.  Mostly games and high end image and video graphics software are affected.

  • Once again! nVIDIA GeFORCE GT 750m replace?

    Is it possible to replace nvidia geforce gt 750m with nvidia geforce titan?

    iP0w3r,
    define “possible”. Is the Titan pin-compatible with the GT 750M? If not, then no. Is the Titan backwardly compatible with the GT 750M? If not, then OS X won’t have the device drivers to make use of the Titan. Even if it is backwardly compatible, then you’d need a sure hand to desolder the old GPU and solder on the new one; Retina MacBook Pros aren’t designed for GPU upgrades.
    If you’re unhappy with your MacBook Pro’s graphic performance, then it would be simpler to sell it and purchase a different computer which has your preferred GPU.

  • Does the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro 2.6-GHz version have the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

    Topic title pretty much says it all. I want the 15-inch 2.6-GHz version with the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

    Yes, I have. The hardware specs are shown for this model, but when you dig further into purchasing it, it doesn't list the graphics cards under "hardware".
    My main concern came from reading somewhere (maybe on this forum) that some guy said he chose the 2.3 version so he could get the discrete graphics. I thought all 15inch 2.3 and above had both:
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

  • Does the fan on Macbooks with Nvidia Geforce graphic cards run less often?

    I have a Macbook Core Du0 1.83ghz running 10.6.3. Each time I watch a video on youtube or watching Flash or other multimedia animations, my fan run super fast.
    Is it the same with the new Macbook with the Nvidia Geforce graphic card?
    Does the fan on Macbooks with Nvidia Geforce graphic cards run less often?

    Watching videos taxes the GPU and CPU. That's why the fan runs faster - to cool the computer. When you aren't doing much the fan slows down. This is true of all the laptops regardless of which GPU is involved.
    Since you have the first generation MB model, it runs hotter than later models that incorporated some changes to the cooling system making the fan run faster during idle. You can accomplish a similar result using the third-party fan control software, SMCFanControl - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. It can be used to increase the fan's idle speed to 2000 RPM. This won't make the fan run any slower when the computer heats up.

  • HT203254 My MacBook Pro 15-inch with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors just failed. Do you guys know if apple still fixes them?

    My MacBook Pro 15-inch with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors just failed. Do you guys know if apple still fixes them?

    I tried last week. The best I could get was a discount on the repair, but the damage to my logic board by the GPU caused it to no longer boot. The program ended in December last year, but it has been extended in the past.
    If you have no other damage you might be able to get a flat rate tier 1 repair if you are in the USA.

  • HT203254 mac book pro 2008 with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor...

    Hi,
    I just want to know if my mac book pro 2008 15" with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor can be changed or repaired?My Mac doesnt have display on it...Sometimes it shows up...but after a while its black screen again..tnx

    It's a little late for me to jump into your discussion, I only read it when I posted an issue with the same model.
    Well, I hope you got it fixed soon enough in 2012, because as I learned in the past few days after purchasing that model and reading up on the issues, Apple stopped the care for this fault on December 7th or so in 2012.
    Seeing that people still get problems due to that graphics card, I should try to return the used one I just bought. I might run well now, but who knows how long.

    I wonder how is possible to enable the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M card?
    I am looking around but I cannot find documentation explaining about how to enable the other video card.
    Any tips/help?

    Thanks!!

    you can try resetting the network settings in settings or you can try doing a reset - hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release.  Then wait for the phone to boot back up.  You won't lose any data.

  • Will Premiere Pro CC work OK with Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M?

    Will Premiere Pro CC work OK with Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M?

    This laptop I am on right vnow has a n nVidai GTX 765M and it works beautifully on Premiere CS6, CC and CC 2014.  You do have to add it to the Adobe file "cuda_supported_cards.txt file or simp[ly delete it.  I hope you know that you have to be plugged in to the AC line to successfully what to edit with a laptop.  Also you can improve the GPU performance if you reset the memory clock on the GPU to 1500 MHz from the default 1000 MHz.  It is because nVidia.slows down the clock to conserve battery.  If you register on the site you can see my results on our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM) site.

  • Flickering screen on 13" MBP 2010 with NVIDIA GeForce 320M

    Did anyone experience display issues with his / her 13" MacBook Pro (2010) with NVIDIA GeForce 320M? I've been using mine for several weeks and every now and then, the display starts flickering and I have no clue why. Unfortunately, the problem is not easily reproducible and the hardware test from the shipped DVD doesn't report any problem.

    I did no longer experience the issue unfortunately / fortunately. No idea what was causing it.
    My MacBook Pro is now at Gravis for repair because the left command key keeps popping out. According to the technician there the key itself is broken and he doubts that I can have it repaired under warranty. Questionable quality if keys break during normal usage. It's also the first keyboard in my life that breaks and I really don't hammer on the keys. Maybe I will end up ordering a replacement key on eBay.

  • Running ATI Radeon x1900 XT along with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Possible?

    Can I run the ATI Radeon x1900 XT along with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT together in my mac pro?

    The X1900 would have to go in double wide slot, you would have to run one or both at 8x.
    I think something like ATI 2600 might make more sense. The 8800GT is listed as discontinued (have a thread or two about it being EOL). So unless you have the 8800GT may not be an option anyway.
    The 4870 + 2600 combo would be best I can think of for us with 1st gen now.
    This assumes you simply need to drive 3 monitors. And don't want to wait and see if the Nvidia eVGA GTX 285 (doubtful) will support 1st gen EFI32's.
