Adding a $1500 nVidia card and then NOT buying a few hundred dollars worth of RAM would make no sense. The CUDA enabled nVidia Quadro 4800 card is VERY expensive relative to the ATI 5770 – system RAM is more important. Regarding the suggestion of the nVidia card: At the moment only Premiere takes advantage of CUDA, After Effects does not – YET – However in CS6, AE will be CUDA accelerated. However, the Westmeres also have the advantage of “virtual cores” (2 threads per core) – depending on software, you may then actually want 48 GB.īut 24GB is a minimum for 8 logical cores in any case, assuming you want to use multiprocessing to good advantage when rendering.ĪE and Premiere share libraries, so you can run both without a “substantial” increase in your RAM footprint. (a good rule of thumb is 4 GB PER CORE minimum). Video Editor/DVD Author/Media Problem SolverĨ cores is fine – but 8 GB of RAM is NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH.įor an 8 core machine you want 24 GB MINIMUM. Kingston 8GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module – 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) – DDR3 SDRAM – 1333 MHz DDR3-1333/PC3-10600 – ECC – Registered – 240-pin DIMM Is this 8 core robust enough to handle heavy After Effects work with HD as well as operate Premiere editing HD with no problems?ġ Apple Mac Pro – 2 x Intel Xeon E5620 2.40 GHz – 6 GB RAM –ġ TB HDD – DVD-Writer – ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB Graphics Card – Wi-Fi – Bluetooth – Mac OS X 10.7 Lion – DisplayPortģ Apple 1 TB Plug-in Hard Drive Module for Mac Pro However for one reason or another (Not important to give details) my boss can only get me the below configuration. Ideally I would like the below configuration for editing using Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium.Ģ x 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” or 2 x 2.93GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere”
I am putting together a new edit system for HD video and Print.
