@ Testies*, it will only help Handbrake if it has been written to use CUDA, I believe. OpenCL ain't out yet- everyone (AMD, Nvidia, Apple, Adobe, Intel, TI plus others) 'cept MS is on the OpenCL wagon.

Which numpty rated suprxtragrav highly?

I like the kiddie nonsense sometimes, but mostly it's just hiding pushing out the interesting/useful additions of thoughtful commenters.]]>Dec 11th 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/ Still, we can always use theregister.co.uk for grown up reports followed by comments that are either well informed or at least genuinly funny.
Lovin Nickz for his Adobe Reader comment, though. Hate it when I miss the .pdf warning! Suprxtragrav is right about Foxit - it was only his first comment I was concerned about.

If other people code their software for CUDA then we'll see other apps see these gains. But I am not sure how that adoption rate is going to be...]]>Dec 12th 2008 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/
The most important feature on any workstation-type computer, until then, is still the CPU, IMO.

Once you get a unified standard, though, and can use a standard graphics card (which, I don't imagine, will be called that for much longer*) for the updated, gpu-accelerated software...there's no real reason for the Quadro or Fire cards anymore.

*Parallel Processing Units? Something like that, really, should replace the current nomenclature...as proof, I point to how my 8800GTS 512 folds (4800 ppd), simulates physx, and generally runs any software written in CUDA (and now, openCL). Only about 1/2 of its work is gaming.]]>Dec 12th 2008 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/Dec 12th 2008 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/Dec 12th 2008 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/ Like everything, people, it comes down to money. Big though the worlds of advertising, movies, games and other 'digital content creation' industries are, they are tiny commpared to engineering industries: military, aerospace, automotive, construction etc.
There will always be cross-overs though... gaming has surely made CAD hardware cheaper for smaller engineering firms. Military use game-style simulation environments... ]]>Dec 12th 2008 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/Dec 12th 2008 3:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/
And AMD/ATI is claiming a 23 minute video conversion (90 minutes of 1080p MPEG-2 video converted to h.264) on a 4850 vs. a 3.0GHz Core 2 Extreme QX9650 taking 4 hours and 23 minutes. A speedup of about 11:1. Using Stream. Which was supposed to be shipping on the 4800 series cards using Avivo right now. Don't see it yet though.

And yet, here we have a shipping card for 2 grand that speeds up h.264 encoding times by 2-fold. Huh. And they've decided to roll it out rather than keep working on it, so it doesn't sound like we can EXPECT those 10-fold increases they're talking about. More of a MAYBE.

This isn't sounding as good as they made it seem.]]>Dec 12th 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/adobe-friendly-nvidia-quadro-cx-gets-reviewed/Dec 13th 2008 9:28PM
