Does SLI Increase Adobe's Cuda Core Usage?

[Bill Cosby]

The topic is in the title.

Basically, if my main goal of my PC is to edit videos in Adobe, then will SLI help me or should i just buy a card with more cuda cores?

Ex.

2 - 660ti's will i get double the Cuda Core usuage?

or should i just get a 680?

Remember, i dont really care about gaming whatsoever.

Thanks

1 660Ti is more than enough in my opinion, I only get ~50 % usage with my 660Ti when using CUDA in Adobe Premier.

And Adobe can only use ONE card anyway. So if you have money or do complex projects just get a 680, if you want to save money get a 660Ti.

Video editing is more dependent on the CPU.

What Adobe program are you using BTW?

I use the full Adobe suite. So, After Effects, Premiere, and Photoshop.

So basically you are saying that Adobe only uses half your cuda cores on a 660ti so there is really no point in getting a 680 right?

After affects is the only adobe program that can use 2 GPUs: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/...fects-cs6.html[/url=http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/05/gpu-cuda-opengl-features-in-after-effects-cs6.html]

And yes, but I have tried adding more GPU accelerated effects to a video before and GPU usage does go up(with tons of effects added it can go to 100%!), so if you are going to be using those, you might want to just get a 680.

I use after effects almost more than i do premiere, so i think my best option here is to go with TWO 660tis
