Re: [Avid-L2] Graphics Card Recommendations

 

By "the same computational tasks" are these computations that would be vastly different the crunching video?  Aren't these cards improvements in the gaming world in their real time rendering performance?  I haven't done much research I just went with what the Blackmagic Davinci engineers suggested.  Interesting how with many fewer cores the 500 series performs so well.  IIRC there are certain tasks that liken themselves to many threads/cores and others not so much.  Where does video performance handling fall in the gamut of computational performance over massive cores thrown at a task?

The 500 is much more efficient than the 600 and 700 series cards when doing the same compute based tasks.

As show in the Tom's Hardware benchmarks, the 780 Ti is about 10-25% better than the 580 on CUDA tasks. However, the 780 has 2304 CUDA cores, the 780ti has 2880 and the 580 has 512.

In what sense are they better?  More Cuda cores?

I forgot about the Nvidia 5xx vs 6xx/7xx factor for Mac.

FYI - for CUDA and OpenCL the 500 series cards are actually better compared to the newer 600/700 series.

Since 2012, the Nvidia driver included in MacOSX has included support for both Mac and PC Cards.  The only difference between a PC Card and a Mac card is that PC cards lack EFI...which is necessary to get the gray Apple bootscreens.


This post gives a lot of information about it.




That is so good I printed it to savor later!  Thank you.  I've been looking for an explanation like that.

Cheers,
