NVIDIA GeForce and Titan Creator Ready Drivers
NVIDIA recently made a new type of driver available for their GeForce and Titan series video cards, which is aimed specifically at content creators. These new “Creator Ready” drivers can be selected when downloading drivers from the NVIDIA or GeForce websites, and can also be picked for future driver updates in GeForce Experience. Read on for info on how to find these drivers for your workstations.
NVIDIA Creator Ready drivers – are they faster in Premiere Pro and Photoshop?
Recently, NVIDIA has announced their new “Creator Ready Driver program” which is intended to give the best performance and reliability when working with creative applications. But is the new Creator Ready driver actually faster in Premiere Pro and Photoshop?
Webinar: How To Choose The Right Hardware For Premiere Pro
In this 45 minute webinar, Matt Bach will go over all the individual parts that go into a workstation, explaining what each does and how Premiere Pro uses them. We will help you separate fact from fiction and make you aware of “marketing buzzwords” that are either misleading or flat-out lies.
SOLIDWORKS 2019: Quadro RTX Series in Enhanced Graphics Performance Mode
Despite how popular SOLIDWORKS is, there is a lot of outdated and simply inaccurate information on the web regarding what video card you should use. This is especially true for SW 2019, because it adds a new mode that changes how the video card is utilized when displaying parts and assemblies. This feature is still in beta, and not yet ready for production use, but we rounded up the full Quadro RTX line of video cards to see how they perform at both 1080p and 4K resolutions.
DaVinci Resolve 15: NVIDIA Quadro RTX Performance
If you are in production environment where you need maximum reliability or do a heavy amount of noise reduction, there is no replacement for workstation-class cards like those in the NVIDIA Quadro line. But exactly how well do the new Quadro RTX models perform in DaVinci Resolve?
