Last week my daughter got pulled over by a policewoman just after midnight for having a light out over the back license plate. After a short reminder that she shouldn’t be driving past midnight because she’s not 18-years old yet, the policewoman let her off without a citation or warning if she promised to replace the light.
After Effects may not be able to take advantage of the GPU as much as other applications, but the question still comes up: AMD Radeon or NVIDIA GeForce? Which performs better in Ae and which will give you more performance for your dollar?
At first glace, the recent addition of “hardware acceleration” when exporting to H.264 and H.265 in Media Encoder and Premiere Pro provides a huge boost in performance for many users. Unfortunately, it is not a perfect technology and result in lower quality video than using the standard “Software only” mode.
Among the updates notes for Adobe Premiere Pro CC July 2018 (version 12.1.2) was a small note of “Performance improvements for decoding RED Camera Formats”. The question is, does this update dramatically increase performance if you work with RED footage or is it just a minor update that doesn’t actually affect most users?
AMD vs NVIDIA is typically a very hot topic for PC enthusiasts and we often get requests to compare AMD’s Radeon Vega video cards to their NVIDIA GeForce counterparts. Premiere Pro is able to take better advantage of the GPU than most other Adobe applications, but will AMD or NVIDIA give you more bang for your buck?
In this video, Puget Systems sits down and talks with Mike Pecci about the MAC vs PC debate and gets into how they firmly believe in supporting creative people and getting them what they need to do what they do best.
A Quantum Mechanics problem coded up in PyTorch?! Sure! Why not? I’ll explain just enough of the Quantum Mechanics and Mathematics to make the problem and solution (kind of) understandable. The focus is on how easy it is to implement in PyTorch. This first post will give some explanation of the problem and do some testing of a couple of the formulas that will need to be coded up.
Depending on how you use Media Encoder, the GPU may or may not have a large impact on performance. If you use it primarily as a transcoding tool, it should be mostly CPU-bound – so is there any reason to use NVIDIA GeForce over AMD Radeon or vice versa?
This article will hopefully help in getting past the Windows 1803 Install hurdle.
Many users require the use of a workstation graphics card as that is the only way to display 10-bit color in Photoshop. But will an NVIDIA Quadro or an AMD Radeon Pro video card give you the best performance for your dollar?
