Faster Edius?

[dano3655]

in building a new system...what would make edius work/render effects (ex. ripple) faster?

are there any system settings to be aware of?


any input would be greatly appreciated...

thanks in advance,

Currently we are suggesting following system for our customers who want to work in SD

Intel Quad Core 2.4 Processor
Intel DG33 FB Mainboard
2 GB DDR2 RAM (800 FSB)
500 GB Seagate SATA H.D.D.
ATI Radeon HD2600 XT PCI EXPRESS

If you are basing your choice on the ripple effect within Xplode, that is a flawed line to follow. Xplode is history. Plain and simple. When the next version is released we will be using a different effects package. Now, if you do not expect to upgrade to the next version, that is a different story.

Buy a graphics card with a GPU that supports Pixel Shader Model 3.0 or higher, with 512MB of graphics RAM..

Hey is this a hint?

Ooops, there goes my Quadro ........

512mb is the magic number now. I know for sure Vitascene requires it for 1920x1080 project settings. So, for a 1440x1080 project it should cut through it like butter.

Vitascene chokes on 1920x1080 projects on my 8800GT 512MB

The GTS has a little added punch to it. It isn't realtime but for most 1 sec transitions I can get buffer prefill play through.

Would this card be okay? http://store.nvidia.com/servlet/Cont...uctID=67049700#

Over 12iches long, these are a big card, you want to make sure it will fit ok.

[SoundFreak]

Wow, that's a nice card, but way overkill if you work with Edius alone.

The 1.5 Gb ram will last you a long time, until directX 11, or a new version of pixel shader will be released.

If you use any serious 3D software this would be a good choice, for Edius Alone NO.

p.s je geld is beter besteed aan processor kracht & video raid, daar heb je meer aan.

I bougth recently the Sapphirre Radeon HD4850 with 1 GB graphics RAM.
It works so far but has a Problem with Vitascene.I suspect Vitascene has a problem with the 1GB.

[swsw1550]

Don't think so, 1GB of ram shouldn't make a difference at all, I would contact ProDad support to find out more about the card.

Or check if there is an updated ATI driver -- 90+% of the time it's a driver problem.
