Hi,

Does anyone know when Adobe will be releasing an increased list of supported NVIDIA graphics cards for GPU acceleration?

I note that the GTX470 is now listed at BHPhoto as discontinued. The reviews also stated that it was a hot and load video card. I really want to know if Adobe will be officially supporting other cards like the GTX570 or GTX580, etc

You thoughts would be appreciated
 
Surely someone would know when Adobe are next to release a new list?! One month, 6 months, or longer? It's poor form for their current list to have discontinued cards (as per my first post here) and not have added new ones.
 
If anyone actually knows, they aren't saying. This is not surprising for a publicly traded company.

Future plans just aren't made very public.
 
An Adobe employee did today announce that work is being done to certify more cards, but no timeline was given, or even hinted at.
 
Why does it matter, you can just add the name of the card to the cuda_supported_cards.txt file and now it is supported.
Just buy the Nvidia card of your choice with at least a gig of ram.

Because if I'm going to spend hundreds of dollars on a new card, I want to know it is certified to work by the company, and not by a hack job that "appears" to work... at the moment. Call me crazy, but I also buy genuine parts for my car and follow all of the manufacturer's recommendations too!
 
Yep, you're crazy.

Seriously, there are probably more people currently using hacked cards than officially supported cards. Adobe made it so easy to get unsupported cards to work that one can only conclude they fully expected the public to do a lot of their testing for them.

Well, we have. You're pretty safe buying any card that has the right specs.
 
Crazy is, as crazy does. I must be insane for following the manufacturers' recommendations.

But seriously, it's just too big a risk to take for large paid pieces of work not to follow their advice. Even if the risk has a low likelihood of eventuating, the consequence is high.
