Hello!

I`m using Cyberlink PowerDirector 13 for rendering videos.

Which would help more: GTX 970 or Quadro 4000?
The thing is I can get the Quadro very very cheap from a friend. Should I mention that I already got the 970? The question is: would it be worth 150 USD into the Quadro with the GTX 970 in the rig already?

Cheers

I`ve read somewhere that even Intel integrated graphics would help more than these?

I`m as confused as an ostrich :). Rendering video without GPU help, and that all because of drivers... isn`t that kinda ridiculous? :-s
 
Yep. And when I asked their response was - they are minimum requirements. You should use latest graphics cards and drivers.

I've been going back and forth for 2 days. You can't email them. You have to fill in a tedious enquiry and it takes them a day to get back to you. I think this is designed to allow them to hide.

Ehh, I wont bather.
Will just keep my 4790k with the GTX 970 (both with noctua coolers on them :p ) and run the PD off them.

However, I would die to know the advantage a quadro would supply vs a normal card when using PD...

Thanks for your answers

Cheers
