Hi Guys
Haven't posted anything new for a while. Anyway, i am hoping to get Adobe CS5 Production Premium or Photoshop CS5 Extended(educational prices rock! the suite 449 just photoshop 200, i cant let tht deal pass me buy 2 programs for 200 each or 11 for 449, what can i say but Yeahaaaaaaaaaw, here i come) but in the computer requirements it says

Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance in Adobe Premiere Pro; visit the Adobe Premiere Pro system requirements page for the latest list of supported cards

What does that mean, unfortunately the first 400 series card is the 470.... and i cant afford that on top of my software and other purchases, and deffinetly not a quadro as much as i would like it(if i could afford a quadro id get a SSD and some more RAM). Does this mean it wont work? or just that it will work better?
Thanks

it should work on any 4xx GFX card. I think what they are saying is that the 470 was tested and they know it works, not that any other card wouldn't work.

Let me see the list, I'm not sure if the 450/460 are necessarily supported yet if that's a new list but anything 470 and older (but not over two gens) should work I'd imagine

(sigh of relief) But would i be right in saying that in this case i would be better off upgrading to the 470 rather than SLIing when the time comes? Or by that point the new cards maybe out.

Premiere Pro will work with any of the 2xx series cards, I have a GTX 260 Core 216 and all i had to do was edit a text file :/

It will work perfectly fine without GPU acceleration - it just won't be as fast.

Anyone got any idea what a new Kepler card would cost, when they come out?

Here's a good article to read: http://www.notebookr... Pro CS5 Review

The same price the current NVIDIA cards where released for.

@ El_Capitan if you are recommending i get CS4 instead, i cant. CS5 Production Premium Educational price is much cheaper than CS4 Production Premium.
Also it will last me longer than buying already updated software,plus i like working in 64-bit.

That came out of left field. No, the article link is an Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Review. Here's some snippets:

They also added greater GPU acceleration to it, allowing Photoshop to scale and alter images in the UI on the graphics card, dependent largely on the amount of video memory available.

Adobe also likes to cite their Mercury Playback Engine, which is supposed to offer enhanced GPU acceleration even over CS4, and brings some CUDA-accelerated features for owners of workstation-class and high-end Nvidia video cards. Adobe and Nvidia are both a little bit cagey on their secret sauce and unfortunately all the video hardware in my household is ATI, so it's hard to see any real differences.

That last quote... how can the reviewer experience any GPU acceleration differences if all he has is ATI video cards?
