EDIUS 5 what Graphics cards are people using with good realtime GPUFX compatibility?

Cath,

If this is your P5K64 WS system then you will want to find a single slot card in order to work around the RAID card. The ATI card you posted a link to looks like a single slot card and the cooling fan is at the end, so it will not interfere with the much smaller Raid card.

While I do like the new GTX 2xx series cards from Nvidia they seem to all be a dual slot card that will not work in the P5K64 WS system.

Both the 8800GT and 260GTX work fine with GPU FX, if anyone's interested to find out.

Cath,

As you know i am partial to Nvidia, though that card will work well.

The bigger question is will it fit OK and run cool enough.

[pjsssss]

The graphics card will not help any export time. However, if you are talking about just rendering Xplode effects, a different card might help. There are also some "realtime recipe" posts for Xplode on the forum. Do a search. However Xplode is a legacy product, so I would not change cards just for that.

re link about premiere cs4

Here it is http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?...33201&from=rss

but I stand corrected as I also read requirements on adobe's site.
also great link about cuda, I looked at the bababoom encoder a month or so ago and it sounded real interesting to me.

Mark running 2 GPU'S on a single card has been around for a while now, NVidia has tried it in the past as well, The card is meant to be pretty good though, if your a gamer, it is a bit of an overkill though, The card you are referring too is 2 4870 doubled up. There is a lot ogf imformation on the net just do a google search about cards that run 2 GPU'S and enjoy the reading my friend.

Cheers
Steve

P.S A lot of the IT Pro's say that one card with a Big GPU and plenty of ram is enough for any application.

I think the link you listed is part rumor, the link below addresses GPU/cuda use in CS4

EVGA GeForce 8500 GT

What do you guys think about this card: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...&Sku=E145-8510.

Seems too good to be true. EVGA GeForce 8500 GT, 1Gb, PCIExpress, and all that at $50 CAN.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Yes. If my 2600xt 512 will do it, this thing certainly will.

Thanks Jerry, confirmed as I was thinking the same! Great! so one edit suite is good to go, just need to upgrade the other now!! Not so bad after all!

if After Effects is the same.

I never found a reference to Ppro's gpu requirements except for open gl 2.0 there is a link for AFX CS4 video cards and they basically list the same cards as for Ppro CS3
