GTX 650ti For CUDA

[Jeremy1998]

Okay guys... I am doing more and more hobby video editing, and with editing comes renders. I have a single 7770 2gb card running in my system right now. I should be able to sell it for about the price of a new 650ti. My question is: How much of a performance boost will the CUDA from a 650ti give me on video rendering in Sony Vegas Pro, or in Adobe Premiere?

This is the 650ti in question:

none in Vegas, a bump in Premiere. 768CUDA is a performer, but the memory
band-width is soooo short.
using a 660ti over my 580 with 512CUDA, but a larger memory bandwidth
has it covered by 25-30% faster in Premiere. so i moved to the ti version and recouped
10-15%, but again.. that 192 bus is sooo FUBAR. if i had to do it again, itd be
670 4GB instead of 660 ti 3GB. just for the memory bandwidth speed. since i
SLI'd the 660 ti 3GB cards renders are quick but not 580 SLI quick.. edits, effects
and what-nots seem "snappy" and responsive but any edit over 3600frames
chokes down pretty rough and the temps soar. but the 580 SLI had a similar time
doing the same task. thats why a 670 or 670 SLI should workout easier, i believe.

In other words, hold out and save up some more money for a proper card?

if using premiere, yes..
vegas is open/GL coding and uses the CPU more intensively and relies on the GPU
for monitor renditions. you can alter the .cfg file to opt for more GPU usage but
i noticed like Tom did, that up to 99% completeion (it hangs there for a longgg time)
then an error.. using nVidia GPU. the AMD seems very likable for Vegas.

Wait, so how can I make Vegas use my 7770 now? Because I plan to swap over to Adobe Premiere, but I still have some projects in the works in Vegas now...

the 7770 would function, but it too doesnt have alot of wind in its sail.
to run application in video, you need horsepower. you can dance around the edge
till then, but you'll have similar issues on the 7770 card.
the 7770 is a 128bit bus.. shader count 640 (close to a 500CUDA count) but really
weak-kneed in bandwidth.. just the 7870 (GHZ edition) is almost twice the power
in GFLOPS and bandwidth.

Yeah, I figured as such... I guess I can just render on the CPU for now, and save up for my eventual pair of 670 4gb cards.

i think it can be done with one card. i tend to overdo the hardware. i am looking
to see if the AMD solution 8350 might edge it s'more. the i7-3820 was a big
dissapointment, but before i plunge into the 3930k ill explore the 8350 route.

Well, this is also going to do gaming, on probably triple 1080p... So I think I need the dual cards for that. I'm sure that one card would suffice for my CUDA needs, however.

 

[airdeano]

it should..

cheers!

 

[Jeremy1998]

Okay... For the time being, I can only either keep my 7770, or do an even trade for a GTX 650ti. Will I benefit from trading for the Nvidia card? Should I take cash for the 7770, and add in some of my own money and go for a 660, 660ti, or 670? What should I do here?

If using Vegas, make sure you have OpenCL enabled in your render preset like so :

Well, I sold my 7770... But I decided to just pull a 7950 from another rig and use that for now. I will save up my cash and get 2 GTX 670 cards, or potentially 2 GTX Titan cards... obviously not only for CUDA.
