Which GPU upgrade for video editing (Mac Pro 4.1) Discussion

[thekev]

[/COLOR]WAIT I lied, I see that the AMD Radeon HD 7950 is supported by Ppro in Mac's by OpenGL only. Just not Cuda which is fine since the trend seeming to lean towards open GL.

So with that being said, this looks to be really by best option correct?

You're thinking of OpenCL, not OpenGL. They are different frameworks. The trend also has little to do with what you use today if it needs to perform up to a certain standard today.

Yes sorry, I meant OpenCL. I seem to always type and say GL for whatever reason. And yes I understand but that trend seemed to move a little fast from when CS5 (even CS6 via hack) and the GTX670 played nice and ran rendered quick to now having CC which moves at a snails pace.. All in the course of well under two years.

+1 with dual 5770
is a really performing setup.
I didn't know that dual 7770 was working

I tried dual 5770 but the fans went mental
