Helps with editing?

[chromeboy42]

I just bought all the parts for my new pc. Although I don't have the money for a new gpu at the moment I will in a few months. I do video editing and was wondering how big of a difference going from my 660 ti (which I will be using till I get a new gpu) to say a 770 or 780? I know they are better cards and have more cuda cores but will my render times drop significantly if I upgrade?

It depends on the intensity of the video editing,the program being used ,the file type being rendered,and the file type(s) being edited.

 

I would say a GTX 760 would be a better choice because 1000 cuda cores is plenty and the 256-bit bus would benefit you much more than 200 more cuda cores.

 

I do not think the GTX 770/780 would give a noticeable increase in performance,because in my own experience,whether it's with After Effects or Sony Vegas Video acceleration takes gpu usage up to around 40% (during a supported file format being rendered).

usually it hovers between 5-20%.

Thanks this definitely helps a ton. I think I'll sell my 660 ti and upgrade to the 760 for that 256 bit bus. It'll be cheaper as well!

I'm not really sure that there'd be much point to selling it,while the GTX 760 would be the better choice you already have the 660 ti,and I doubt that the difference would be anything to go to all that trouble for.

 

I just saw that in the list there was no 660 ti,so I assumed you didn't have it yet.

 

but if you have the 660 ti I would just stick with it,and if you truly need better performance you may want to consider a professional card (quadro).

No I have the 660 ti its just part of my previous rig so I didn't put it in the list

hold on to the 660ti. slight up-tick move on moving to the the 760 with a memory

bus upgrade, but a CUDA count downgrade. you'll lose on the resale of the 660ti

and pay high new stock of the 760..
