I personally feel that Robots as good as they are for production and product ending cost is a good thing, I am not a supporter for allowing technology taking over our lives. I believe that technology hinders on a humans capability to learn and function. Examples: A person who always types (either on PC or smartphone) might not necessarily have the best spelling, punctuation or grammar skills. When a person can just easily use Spell-check and Auto-correct when typing, that person doesn't really pay attention for the correction that is being placed. That person may just take for granted that if that person spells or writes a sentence wrong, the computer will fix it. A person that grows up with GPS or self driving car can have a hindrance in being self aware with directions. A person can become reliant on the GPS or self driving car, not actually comprehending on how to get to a location. Many people see these as "well why would we need to learn or know how to do that when there is technology there to do it for us?". I see from my perspective that by not knowing or learning how to do something allows a person IQ of function to be loss. So by having Robotics and technologies become more and more into our lives maybe a good thing for convenience, comfort and cost effective, I believe in the long run it hinders on the basic knowledge that must be maintained. Short and sweet version : I feel like the advancement of technology and Robotics is making our society stupid.

I pay too much for my connection $95/month. For some reason I still couldn't watch the stream today on "Source"

I have moved my Windows around from machine to machine. (OEM edition). I have just reactivated it over the phone and everything is good. I get the concept of OEM and how it is illegal, but my thought is if Microsoft themselves allow this, then meh.

Ah thanks. Graphical power isn't my main concern. I am just trying to understand which programs take advantage of GPU Acceleration along with which cards.

Does anyone know what software allows for GPU Acceleration? You are saying that all programs impliment this? And what do you mean by "Power"? Like wattage or how much acceleration do i need?

As far from what I know, GB internet is not an option here. Fastest is 250Mb/s for $120.00/month. <--Location Alberta Canada

So recently I posted a thread asking about which CPU to go with for a build for a friend that is doing Video Editing. It was brought to my attention about GPU acceleration during post production. Since then I have been trying to learn more about it and how to impliment this into the build. A few questions popped up that i can't find answers too: 1) Which programs offer GPU Accelleration? So far i can only find two; Sony Vegas 12 and Adobe CS6. 2) Is it correct to say that CUDA (Nvidia) is not as popular as OpenGL (AMD)? From what i can see, CUDA is only supported in Sony Vegas 12 but OpenGL is supported by both. I am not sure if I have it right that OpenGL refers to AMD cards. 3) Which cards are better for GPU Acceleration? From what I have read, people are saying that older cards for both CUDA and OpenGL are better at GPU Acceleration. BUT that only certain older cards support this. So how is a person to pick which is the best card for the dollar to help accelerate? Hopefully someone can direct or help educated me on this. Even better if it will help educated someone else as well. Thanks,

Oh wow.. didn't know this... I will have to see which program he is using (the ones you mentioned) he might get better performance from a decent GPU then. I thought CUDA was used for photo editing. Didn't know it was both. Really wasn't focused on a GPU, but if he uses either program you suggested, maybe i should be.

GPU rendering? Are you talking about using cuda cores? If so, is this limited to specific programs?

Thank you two so much.. this is EXACTLY what i was looking for. The charts help out tons, especially the "Video Master Works". As well as TechFan@ic's recommendation.. thank you both.

Correct i didn't really specify a price or what constitutes "low price". Although in a comment earlier I stated: Given that the suggestion given (appriciated but all the same) is either FX8350 or the 4770K is why i wonder if people just read the topic. As for describing what the rig will be used for, i stated video editing. Maybe i should have stated "Video editing and nothing more", my appologies. The main concern was if AMD would handle video editing as good as Intel. As stated by another person: Which tells me that yes AMD can handle video editing. Now I am trying to figure out how "low" (price and model wise) of a processor i can go before the machine won't be able to edit and render video "as good" (Meaning unbearable speed and how hard it hits the CPU) as a higher up CPU.

thank you for the suggestion

I am wondering if anyone actually reads what i type. Seems as if people just read the headline and respond from that.

These are great suggestions, but I am trying to keep the price at low. I am guessing that the FX 8350 is equivalent to the 4770k. Now the question is how about a lower price range? Like mentioned - A10 6800k or the A8 6600k? ir what ever is equivilent in Intel. You made a good point, I forgot that Pistol used AMD for video editing. It must do just as good as Intel.

This I know. Do you have any idea how AMD will perform with video editing and rendering? will it be as fast, stable as Intel? Do you have any comparable suggestions to the FX8350? or how about the FX8320?
