The driving problem may be that nVidia varies the internal architecture between models which also affects on-board memory and CUDA count, almost as if it were an experiment to let the market discover which architecture works best. (Some of this architecture is explained on their site). Let me play the "devil's advocate" a little bit. We can guess that Adobe's legal sensibilities will not let them add anything to an "approved" list until it has gone through a 500 man-hr formal test (I made the number up but I bet it's in the ball-park). Note also some video card variances are beyond the control of Adobe and while they do their best to accommodate all cards, should they be held legally liable for every difference that crops up? While you notice there is no mention of the 600 and 700 series on one list, I see on the Studio1 list that it is known the 605, 610, 620, 630, 640, 645, 650, 660, 670, 680, 680, 770, 780 etc. all will work just fine. Actually, are there any 1gb or larger models that are known to NOT work? Most important, they point out that system capabilities and processing requirements are a huge determinate as to whether a particular card will work well for you. To what extent can they test each and every card running in each and every system capability, including those that are boarder-line capable? It's interesting that although differences between various nVidia cards can be real, yet Adobe cleverly accommodates many differences within the software. In addition, they let users add their card's name to the cuda_supported_cards.txt text file, and if the card is similar enough to other cards, it likely will work well enough. Thousands of customers have done exactly that. I did it with the 260 and it worked just fine, although my current 680 comes already entered in the file.

Are you saying that Adobe is not going to "approve" anymore video cards? Also that any of the new cards will run the mercury features (Cuba). I'm very disappointed in Adobe on this matter. There are no alternatives here and this is frustrating. --- In [email protected] <mailto:Adobe-Premiere%40yahoogroups.com> , Uwe Soltau <lenseye.uwe@...> wrote: > > You can use just about any Nvidia card. > I got the Geforce GTX 660 recently which works very well for what I am > doing. > > You can spend a lot of money on the top range but I don't know how > complex your > work is. > > Here is information on cards and how to unlock them. > > http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5-2.htm > > > Uwe > > > > > On 6/12/2013 8:50 PM, koz_49 wrote: > > > > The official web site is still maintaining Nvidia video cards models > > that are no longer in production.
