I really need this. Can someone help me?

According to this website the rx 480 is no match for the gtx 1060: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2016/07/19/crunching-the-numbers-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-versus-amd-radeon-rx-480/#5cfb01764166 . It is too early to tell when the rx 490 will be out. Video encoding performance is not tested.

There is a video encode test here in the forum for the 1070 and r9 290x: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/48751.page .

Don't know what PD15 will support. Let us know if this helps.

This has been a topic of discussion on this forum on several different occasions.

If I could, I would suggest that you do a search on the forum to see if you may find some information to help you.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 card on my computer and I really have no issues with it.

Good luck!

tomasc,

Sorry I didn't mean to walk on your reply. I was in the process of sending my reply and got sidetracked. When I went back to send it I didn't realize you had already sent an excellent reply to Senores90.

I Love my NEW Gigabyte 1080 Founder Edition ...better then 2 970 SLI...My new World of speed !!! Photo and details on my www Pauls PC

So now there is no issues with HA and Nvidia cards? Because I tre few graphic cards and only AMDs were were capable of that. I'm sorry if I post this topic but I can't find anything updated in the forum for the new GCs.

Lurking... Thanks for the hands on reports.

Ive got a new computer with a gtx1080 on the way. I had been working on a 10 year old deaktop that finally gave up the ghost, so Im looking forward to seeing what the newest and greatest is capable of. Ill report back with my experience.

All Nvidia Geforce Cards since Maxwell has Bugs to create BluRay Discs with Hardware Encoding with the Nvidia GPU.

Have tested it with the GTX960, GTX970 and now today brand new with the GTX1060. All drivers the same.

If you create a Bluray Dics in H.264 with Hardware Encoding, then there are Playback Errors. You could'nt Use Forward or Rewind Playback, and select Chapters isn't possbible.

The Created BluRay Video playback always runs from the beginning of the Film. It always runs from the start again, like in a "Loop".

It's no matter, if your playback is with Hardware Player or Software Player on PC, it is everywhere still present since Power Director 13 up to now.

Cyberlink Support told me, there is an driver Bug in the Geforce Driver, but i couldn't believe this. No other Video Creating Software had a Bug like this.

No matter, what settings you select. If Hardware Encoding is activated, the Issue is present.

Thank you for all the replies. In what I see Nvidia products can be also a good choice but some bugs could give me some troubles with the encoding. I look some benchmark and I see that the 480 make worse than the 390, 390x and also the 290x and 280x. Do you think that is a problem with driver not very optimized yet or it's somethig else?

hmmm...the issue exist since 2 years. i don't think they fix it anymore (Nvidia or Cyberlink)....eventually in PD15 or 16, but not yet.

I'm interested in getting the best video card to work with PD14 and my PC. Reading all these replies is like Greek. Could someone just speak plain English?

The Crucial.com site tool tells me that my video card is this: PCI Express x16

My Device Manager tells me, under Display Adaptors, that I've got: AMD Radeon HD 7660D.

If you reply to this, can you assume you're talking to someone who doesn't speak computer nerd, please?

I can't help with a recommendation, but I can tell you that the PCI Express 16 is the description of a slot in your PC that will accept a card of one sort or another. The AMD Radeon is a graphics card. If you Google it, you can learn about its performance vs. other cards (but there'll be jargon to wade through).



Update: I just noticed that you've opened a separate thread with this question, so there is no reason for anyone to respond to your query here. Regards,

Looks like you have one of the A10-5700 or A10-5800K CPU's. Some will recomend you "the best" card (based on his notion of "best" that is mostly related to gaming) and you will dullfully pay $500 for it. Only to find out that the new card is not making any difference because you limited CPU cannot use it at full potential, only at 20-30%. So now you just wasted money because you didn't want to inform yourself better to understand that "greek".

Generally speaking, for video editing, the best option is nVidia GTX1060 or GTX960 assuming that your CPU is at least an i7 (even first gen).

But the AMD CPU that you have is really not meant for HD video editing, you will get the same results with a GTX950 (max that will be effectivelly used by your CPU).

PS: The bug with bluray editing can be easily worked around, if you really want to burn bluray discs, but that's another fish to fry.

BluRay Bug: yes, you could turn off the Hardware Encoding, but if i do that, my clip quality is very angry. The Galaxy Note 4 Streams cause this quality issue.

This Quality Issue and the Bluray Nvidia (Loop) Bug is reported to cyberlink before 10 months, and the Cyberlink Lab / Support confirmed this, too.

But till now, NOTHING CHANGES. No fixes for this Issues.

Now i ONLY use Intel GPU (Intel HD 530) and there are no bugs like this, with Hardware Decoding and Encoding.

I would prefer always an Intel GPU with Powerdirector 10.
