GTX card for After Effects/Vray

[joun]

Hey there,

I'm looking to build an ivy bridge box mainly for video editing/3D rendering and looking for a gfx card for it.

I'm primarily interested in GPU acceleration of Adobe CS6 (especially After Effects) and 3D rendering (3DS max/VrayRT).

I've read that the GTX670 is great since it has 4gb of memory, runs relatively silent - but also saw some reports that Nvidia has crippled it or there is little support for 3DSmax/VrayRT and Adobe CS6.

Is that true, and if so, would the GTX680 or even GTX580 be preferrable?

Anyone have experience or has used these Kepler GTX cards with CS6/3D?

Cheers!

The general consensus is that the 5 series are better for CUDA/OpenGL/OpenCL applications. Nvidia crippled the compute performance on the 6 series so the could concentrate on making it a mega gaming card.

im using a GTX 580 and it works nice in photoshop, vegas and after effects

i dont really know about 3D programs like...best bet is to research on 3D specific forums

i run after effects, photoshop and flash and my 560 is great!

I believe CS6 makes better use of OpenCL? So should also be accelerated with AMD cards? But a 500 series should be better due to CUDA support.

He probably wants the new rendering pipeline in Aftereffects which unfortunately is CUDA only as its a proprietary Nvidia product. Although there are other alternatives that run OpenCL if he wants to use the default Adobe product its CUDA & Nvidia only.
