4GB GTX 760 vs 2GB 960 for VideoEditing

Hello, I'm wondering whether I should invest in a GTX 960 or 760 for video-editing. From first view, this seems, quite seems quite obvious, the 960 is similarly priced and newer, but upon further investigation, I found that the 960 is limited to 2GB of RAM while the 760 has 4GB. I use Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects for video-editing, so would I benefit more from an older GPU with more RAM and a 256 bit interface or a newer card with a more efficient processor, but less RAM. What is your opinion? 2GB 960 or 4GB 760...

The 760 has more CUDA cores, so it'd perform better in CUDA-based acceleration that is offered in most editing suites. 

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

For now don't get a 9 series card, as they seem to be incompatible with a lot of software for video rendering. My GTX970 is useless in Vegas pro and Adobe Premiere.

 

k, Thanks

According to Adobe's site, Creative Suite it will only use CUDA acceleration.

I guess it depends on which version, Creative Suite CC can use either OpenCL or CUDA http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/system-requirements.html

I use CS6 and appeatantly, it ahs changed since the last time I checked. I assume an R9 280 be pretty similar...

Sorry to add to the confusion, but according to that link CS6 only supports:

 

  • GeForce GTX 285 (Windows and Mac OS)
  • GeForce GTX 470 (Windows)
  • GeForce GTX 570 (Windows)
  • GeForce GTX 580 (Windows)
  • NVIDIA® Tesla C2075 card (Windows) when paired with a Quadro card as part of an NVIDIA Maximus™ configuration
  • Quadro FX 3700M (Windows)
  • Quadro FX 3800 (Windows)
  • Quadro FX 3800M (Windows)
  • Quadro FX 4800 (Windows and Mac OS)
  • Quadro FX 5800 (Windows)
  • Quadro 2000 (Windows)
  • Quadro 2000D (Windows)
  • Quadro 2000M (Windows)
  • Quadro 3000M (Windows)
  • Quadro 4000 (Windows and Mac OS)
  • Quadro 4000M (Windows)
  • Quadro 5000 (Windows)
  • Quadro 5000M (Windows)
  • Quadro 5010M (Windows)
  • Quadro 6000 (Windows)
  • Quadro CX (Windows)
  • Tesla C2075** (Windows)

To be quite honest, I'm not too certain about GPU acceleration in CS6, so hopefully someone experienced with it can accurately answer.

I don't know where you're even finding a 4 GB GTX 760 on sale anymore. But if the prices I'm seeing are anything to go by, you could nearly buy an R9 280X or R9 290. It was a silly product when it was available, and it's even sillier with today's prices.

 

If the plan is to get a used one, I'd advise against it. You never know how much Bitcoin mining abuse an eBay card has been through before you get your hands on it.

I am aware, that the 290 is similarly priced (right now, the 760 4gb is $320). The only opne in stock I found is at Canada Computers

Now, I'm wondering should I go with a 280X or 290 and upgrade to Creative Cloud (which is monthly subscription...)

Sony Vegas Pro is not part of Adobe Creative Suite 6 or Adobe Creative Cloud. GPU support is up to the developer.

The supported list for CS6 ends with the 580 so might be time to upgrade to CC...
