[Help] Multi GPU and the Video Production workflow

[Gatekeeper01]

looking to know if premiere pro, DaVinci resolve, magic bullet looks, after effects or GoPro Cineform would benefit from a Multi-GPU setup.

 

I know that SLI has been shown to make Adobe applications unstable and appears to have no practical effect outside of games, but I also know it's possible to use more than one GPU without SLI (Blender loves multi-GPU systems in non-SLI.) Unfortunately, most of the information I can find on the internet is either old or does not discuss GPU acceleration directly.  I think Linus has all of his guys fitted out with Titan X(s) but I'm not sure if that's just because that's what Nvidia sent them or because there isn't any real benefit to Multi-GPU outside of games and Blender. Any information or experience you guys have on this wold be greatly appreciated!

 

 

Thanks,

I use my dual GTX 960's for all the CUDA cores 2048 to be exact while rendering in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015 and it nearly cuts my render times in half. Also the GPU's render the frame buffer to make the timeline view MUCH smoother more quickly.

Does anyone know if Cineform can use more than one GPU for Encoding/decoding?
