Premiere CS6

Chibidono · September 11, 2014

Hello,

I've been asked by a friend to build a new pc for him and what he asks for is that it's to be fitted for work in premiere CS6. The only requirement besides performance is that he wants a card able to utilize CUDA. The list for the CUDA supported cards for premiere CS6 is quite old but he doesn't want to switch to CS7 because of lack of plugin support. I've heard that you can force CUDA support by adding a new GPU to the list but it's not recommended by adobe to do so.
So basically, what options do we have for building an optimized pc? I think his budget is around $1500 (although we live in Sweden so it's just an approx. conversion).

The list of officially supported cards:

GeForce GTX 285

GeForce GTX 470

GeForce GTX 570

GeForce GTX 580

Quadro CX

Quadro FX 3700M

Quadro FX 3800

Quadro FX 3800M

Quadro FX 4800

Quadro FX 5800

Quadro 2000

Quadro 2000D

Quadro 2000M

Quadro 3000M

Quadro 4000

Quadro 4000M

Quadro 5000

Quadro 5000M

Quadro 5010M

Quadro 6000

Tesla C2075

That budget is for the entire build or only for the video-card? Also after CS6 there's CC, not CS7, and I think it will not have any problem with plug-ins (I recently switched and I have no problem, not in Premier nor in After Effects) because CC and CS6 for most Adobe softwares is totally the same, they changed version only to switch the users to Creative Cloud, CC 2014 are the only real new ones...

I'm not very familiar with the naming of Adobes products so my bad on that one. The budget is for the entire build as he doesn't want a WS-grade build but rather a well performing "gaming" build (meant for premiere). He said that the plugins he uses didn't have proper versions for "7/CC" yet and that's why he wanted to stay at CS6.
