Quote: Hi I currently us PD12Ultimate with an Nvidea GTX770 but I am looking at buying an AMD MSI R9 390 over XMAS.
Just checking I won't have any problems with this card/drivers and using PD12?

Thanks.

A fairly open question, I guess it depends on how you currently use your GPU with PD12 or other applications and your intended use in the out years (other upgrades, PD14, OS versions....). This is not a upgrade path I would have pursued, however, each upgrade path has a goal and I don’t know yours.

I'd probably do a little more research on what issue your trying to fix with the upgrade and what's a good path before spending the bucks.

There will be no problem that I know of. You seem to be interested in the more expensive gaming graphics cards. Buy what you want. Be aware that there won't be any hardware encoding possible with the AMD card unless you install the CCC and the drivers from last year (2014) if you are okay with that.

Yes, do a fair biit of gaming as well as video editing so need a beefy GPU.
I'm leaning towards the AMD card because of the 8GB of VRAM and better DX12 support. Not trying to "fix" anything. just upgrading my rig and checking it will work with Power Director as this is important to me.

PD12 as a whole will function with card, the Hardware video encoder feature on the Produce page will not function in PD12 with any current drivers that you'd be using for your gaming. Not sure if the "Hardware video encoder" is a feature you use, but it will be greyed out and not selectable.

Above comments based on use of a MSI R9 380.
