PNY Quadro CX PCI-E 1.5GB

 

Puget Description

Designed for the creative professional, the NVIDIA Quadro CX is unparalleled in its ability to deliver the best acceleration for Adobe Creative Suite 4. Able to encode H.264 video at up to 4X faster when used with NVIDIA CUDA-enabled plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.

Update: nVidia recently announced that the entire current line-up of nVidia's Quadro FX cards will now support Adobe CS4 acceleration via a software product from nVidia called "Elemental Acceleration". We know of no current benchmarks that show the Quadro CX vs the other cards in the Quadro line, but suffice it to say that the Quadro CX has lost a lot of it's initial appeal.

If you have any questions, be sure to contact our service consultants at sales@pugetsystems.com. They will be happy to help you find the right video card choice for your specific needs.


Puget Professional Advice
Jon Bach (President) Says:
This is definitely an expensive video card, but if you're rendering to H.264 in Premiere Pro CS4, it might be worth the cost. It currently can render the video 5x faster than a high end quad core CPU. If you're a professional video editor, that time saved may be valuable to you. Plus, your CPU is not maxed as you render, so its easier to multi-task. But do consider whether you can get the same or similar functionality with a Quadro FX card for less money.

Daniel Brown (Customer Support - Lead Technician) Says:
I would recommend holding off on the purchase of this particular card, as nVidia has recently announced that the special functionality of the CX is going to be implemented on all of the current Quadro FX series of cards (of which, some models are much less expensive).
