I've seen nothing on nvidia's website that justifies the cost of this card for a photoshop user. I work with thousands of 14bit high res files every week and the features they highlight do nothing to improve my workflow. After effects is another story. If it vastly out performs the consumer cards ($500 ones) then they have a winner.

If they want people to really buy these up they should be working with adobe to accelerate flash encoding since it is by far the dominant web format but the least efficient to encode.]]>Oct 17th 2008 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 4:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 5:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 4:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/

Sure it can play doom, but how about crysis? Wait, you will need 4 of these to get a decent fps.

...now if you were using anything by autodesk, this is up your alley.. otherwise a waste of money which other cards can do just fine.]]>Oct 17th 2008 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/
This card here, though expensive, can be used to accelerate the calculations of those effects. No lowly graphics designer on a low budget will be able to afford this, but those in the desktop publishing field, professional photographers, digital artists, and movie editors will definitely be interested in this card when it comes out.

Hell! If I had $1999, I'd buy this card since I use Photoshop almost daily in my work.]]>Oct 17th 2008 5:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/
1 you sound upset even though there has been a considerably big improvement in commercial computing.
but that stands nothing to the next one imo.
2. you bought Photoshop?

I'll believe it when I see it of course, but nice to see Adobe are looking to the future, and Nvidia finding real world uses for their technology apart from games and pie-in-sky science GPU computation.]]>Oct 17th 2008 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/
You have to think much bigger, like professional image compositing in the print media industry. Have you ever worked on a 500 MB photoshop file? Maybe you had a look at some art from digital artists - imagine painting canvases often larger than 5.000 pixels (for A3 printing) with hundreds of layers. I wonder just how well your 8800 gts would fare then. I worked on some 10.000 to 30.000 pixel wide illustrations myself, and I think this card is good news indeed.

But that's not all the card is supposed to do - it also helps in AfterEffects and Premiere with video encoding, and on that point you can kiss your 8800 gts goodbye right away... IMHO you really should have put your brain into gear before posting.

But it would be helpful, Ive had many after effects projects that where so complex i had to wait over 10 minutes just for a 1 second preview of a scene to see how well its animated. And im not any old rig ether... quad core + 8800gts + 4gb ram.

While this would be really useful I just cant rationalise the price as a freelancer.

And no it probably wont play crysis. This isnt a gaming card. Its built for pure number crunching to run super high poly counts in cad max maya LW. it has shader support but probably not to the degree for high end gaming.]]>Oct 17th 2008 6:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/

In other words, its not "price fixing". Price fixing means that either the manufacturer and a dealer, or multiple dealers, get together and agree to sell a product at a predetermined price. Setting a high (or low for that matter) MSRP is in no way price fixing, idiot!]]>Oct 17th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/Oct 17th 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/17/NVIDIAs-quadro-cx-gpu-optimized-for-people-who-dont-suck-at-ph/

I just hope CS4 doesn't have any Vista related garbage. CS3 runs better on XP64 with 8GB ram than it ever will on Vista.
