shopping new card for video editing

[bruceGH4]

My new build works well with Adobe Premier Elements editing software. I can tell that next bottleneck is a slight delay in rendering the screen due to my use of an older 1 GB video card. I believe that an upgrade to a modern 6, or 8 GB card will make all the difference. In future I may upgrade to Adobe Premier Pro, which is designed to use CUDA cores specifically. There are so many cards listed for sale, and I am not really gaming. I just want a fast render from the software to the monitor. What's the best deal in a 6gb video card?





Asus x99-A-ii, i7-6800k, Gamer Storm H2O by Deepcool, 4x8gb ddr4-2133 g.skill ram, sandisk 240gb sshd, toshiba 3tb hdd,
Evda gold 750, windows 10 home, amd radeon hd 6700 in Fractal Midi Case.
For editing video in 4K.

Budget? A Quadro card would be what you really want if this is a pure editing machine.

Looking at quadro cards on Newegg, I see some 4gb, 128bit cards from pny like Quadro M2000 for $600. Then the price jumps to thousands.
I can get ASUS Gtx 1070 (8GB, 256bit) with bells and whistles for $560 canadian!? So what advantage does a quadro have, other than my spell check upgrades it to Quadroon
which is very annoying.

Is this for professional editing or hobby stuff?

The 1070 will be a giant leap in performance from what you have.

Looking into it a bit more, adobe premiere does not leverage the quadro cards that much. An M6000 ($4700.00) and Titan X ($1100.00) run about the same.

Personal hobbies use. I got a Panasonic gh4 camera that takes 4k video makes large files to render.
I only have adobe premier elements which is good enough to burn blu-ray, but premier pro is a future upgrade.
Anything will be an upgrade over my current gpu.

The 1070 is the card you want.
