Hi, You have such great videos! I'm kinda on a budget, what is the best cheap video card for Premiere Pro CS5?

[dhelmly]

If you can still find a GTX285 card for a cheap price . It should be under 300.00. The new Geforce 470 is the replacement for that card and runs a little more (better card)

Actually you can use several Nvidia cards and long as they're CUDA enabled and use at least 796 meg of at least DDR3 RAM. Adobe and Nvidia just want you to buy the most expensive ones. Just do a little search on CS5 video card hack. Shame on you Adobe and Nvidia.

Yes - we made it easy - BUT,when you alter that file, your future Adobe updates could fail to take, so just remember to save your old txt file. In the case of newer cards like FERMI, we needed to add additional code to support features on these cards - all of these families of cards use different processors and we need to change the Mercury code to support them. People using the newer 470 will not see much benefit until we release the next update. Just be careful when you change things ;)

i am confused on one thing... u showed u had quad core processor it 4core if u had 2 processor 8 core... but why it showing 16 TH... i know i7 got 4 core and and HT thats show 8TH but how u got 16TH? i am confused any anyone help me? on this

Tomy - some of the newer Intel Dual Quad Core Extremes support Hyperthreading (in the Bios) which will double the logical cores. Also - Mercury works in 2 modes: Software (CPU) and Hardware Assist (CPU+GPU). In many cases Mercury software (CPU) mode will be all you need to do your editing in real time. Intel Core i7 are excellent and do a great job. You can switch Mercury from software mode to Hardware mode fairly easily.

How much of a difference will there be between the various nvidia cards? i assume the more expensive will perform much better?

[tomyloveu]

thank you for that info now i get it.. i was confused and yes mercury playback engine is cool... just waiting for... march 26th for gtx 480 to come out... coz that will boost this software more 2x as far i read... anyways thx for ur reply and to clear me :)

Only those cards supporting CS5 Cuda ?

there are so many CUDA cards from nvidia, that's unfair.

[dhelmly]

Only the Geforce GTX 285 or the Quadro FX3800,4800,5800,CX.
