2. Re: Graphic Card - which series
KamilekPOL May 28, 2010 7:28 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)number of cores ?? value of core ?? GTS250 has 128 cores and value is 750mHz, GTX285 has 256 cores and 750 too. I dont think so gtx285 is 2 times better ?

3. Re: Graphic Card - which series
Harm Millaard May 28, 2010 8:25 AM (in response to KamilekPOL)Keep it stupidly simple. KISS.
If you have a PC and put in a new CPU that is twice as fast or has double the cores, does it double its performance? No way. For the simple reason that total performance is dependent on the whole system, CPU, Video, memory and disk I/O. Doubling the performance of one component will not result in the doubling of performance for the whole chain, it is still imited by the weakest link.
Doubling the cores in a CPU does not lead to double the performance.
Same with graphics cards. Cores are the overriding factors, but memory and bus speeds and driver implementaion and software support play a major role as well.

4. Re: Graphic Card - which series
Igor Valentovitch May 28, 2010 10:17 AM (in response to KamilekPOL)I have the GTS250 and it utilizes the MPE just fine after the softmod in CS5. GTX285 would definitely outperfom my 250. The fact that both cards will indicate 'yellow' line does not mean that will perform very similar. I would keep the 285 if I were you. I'm still waiting to see if there is significant difference in performance b/w the gtx285 and the new Fermi models that would justify the purchas of a card from the new 400-series over 200 ones.
Harm, have you come across any comparative results already? I'm mostly concerned about smooth playback of 3+ layers on the timeline of avchd files in their native resolution.

5. Re: Graphic Card - which series
Harm Millaard May 28, 2010 10:46 AM (in response to Igor Valentovitch)I tried it yesterday after the 5.0.1 update with 6 HDV tracks, 1 title track and 1 transparent/timecode track, all of the video tracks with a MPE enabled effect and scaliing/position applied to create 6 PIP's and it played without problems. Further testing needs to be done, but initial results were very, very promising, especially considering the rather dated drivers and the official lack of support of the Fermi range.

6. Re: Graphic Card - which series
Igor Valentovitch May 28, 2010 10:52 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)That's a good news. Did you softmod the Fermi card (which card did you use?) to enable the MPE or the CS5 automatically did that after the 5.0.1 update?

ECBowen May 28, 2010 11:03 AM (in response to Igor Valentovitch)Yes the 5.0.1 patch removed the limiter for the 285GTX card. I have not confirmed yet if it will also for the 480GTX but I am sure the days of the limiter are gone thank goodness.Adobe 1 Nvidia 0
