Which GPU to buy?

[Pooherino ツ]

I'm a professional cinematographer and editor

I do a lot of works on Premiere Pro, After effects, and Photoshop.

 

Lately when I try to export in Premiere, it keeps giving me a "GPU Render Error"

I tried to look up on google to see if there is a fix, but the only solution I can find is to turn of GPU render, which makes render time a lot slower, especially in a project with multiple 3d layers in after effects.

I think my current gpu is probably too slow or maybe dying, but it can still runs games fine so idk.

I'm getting frustrated and I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU.

I did some research and been thinking of the GTX 1080. But I don't know if it is overkill or not. It would be great if I can get some advice, thank you

 

My current spec is

i7 4790

GTX 680

MSI H81I mobo

16GB ram

250GB & 480GB SSD

Depends what resolution your gaming at, and what framerate you deem as acceptable.

1080 is a rad card if your wanting to go all out. But the 1070 is also a beast and gives alot of head room.

I would buy the 1080 myself. Almost as good as a 1080ti and half the price.

OMG, and more RAM!

ur canadian? I noticed lately u can get the 1080 for around $650 while the 1070 is $500. I feel like 1080 has better value for the money at the moment. Do u think so?

Try some software fixes before shelling out the dollah dollah.

 

Try completely removing Nvidia drivers using http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

 

Backup all your presets, preferences, and locations of Adobe Premiere. Reinstall Premiere.

Since you are editing I woul def go for the 1080.

OMG, and more RAM! lol

Okay cool, thanks man!

Well, I check me system usage from time to time and most of the time it only use like around 10gb give or take, and that when im having premiere and ae and other random stuffs opened at the same time. I think I'm good for now. I'll get 32gb when I upgrade the cpu and mobo all at once, it will be more worth it to go for high speed DDR4 in the next upgrade.

I tried reinstalling the nvidia driver, it worked for like 1 render, and then the error pops up again. I think it has something to do with Lumetri, since when I dont do any colour grading, it works. But I'm going try to put in my brother's card tomorrow, he has a 970 and see what happens.
