What's the ideal configuration for Premiere and AE CS 5.5?
I have an early 2008 Mac Pro 8 core, 16GB of ram and 2 graphics cards: NVIDIA Quadro 4000 and NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT and 3 monitors.
Which slots should I put the graphic cards in?
Is it better to just use 2 monitors?
Which card should I plug them into?
I’m on Mac OS X 10.7.4
Which slots should I put the graphic cards in?
Available compatible slots.
Is it better to just use 2 monitors?
Yes! Three will be great if you can plug them all and use the one for previews, and the other two for your workspace.
Which card should I plug them into?
I would suggest trying the cards until you are satsfied.
I think you need to tell PPro which card to use... possibly by configuring the nVidia software... read below
