"Almost irresponsible amounts of performance" - that's a quote from Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsung Huang describing the new GTX 1080 slated to be available at the end of May, 2016.
Apparently this game-changing new GPU is going to offer 2X the performance and 3X the efficiency of the GTX 980Ti, which many agree is the current benchmark of high performance in the world of graphics processors.
Since Adobe Premiere is literally designed around the processing power of the Nvidia architecture, with it's array of CUDA cores, we couldn't be more excited to see what this new development is going to bring to our edit system with regards to timeline effects and output rendering. At Post in the Woods, we have been employing the GTX 980Ti since January 2016 -- and we think of it as our 'secret weapon'.
"I don't even want to recall what editing was like without it", says owner Dave Eichhorn. "Since we installed our GTX 980Ti, I have been able to apply layers of effects, directly to raw 4K footage, including those that involve color correction, scaling, and time compression/expansion without any pre-rendering whatsoever. The insane power of the CUDA cores allow Premiere's Mercury Playback Engine to work at maximum efficiency, thereby relieving the CPU of those duties. When you cut with a lesser video card, you are definitely not using Premiere (or After Effects, for that matter) to it's full potential."
As a point of reference, the GTX 1080 is faster than two GTX 980 cards running together. Nvidia's live stream last night boasted all kinds of numbers for their new technology, based off the Pascal architecture, which to date has been used only in high-end supercomputers.
The demonstration showed Epic Games' new MOBA, Paragon, running at 60 frames per second throughout, while its GPU clock ran at 2.1 GHz, and its memory clock at 5508 MHz at 67 degrees celsius, on a card that is neither air-cooled nor water-cooled. Epic Games co-founder Tim Sweeney participated in the demonstration.
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said billions of dollars in research and development built Pascal, resulting in a consumer product that is very power efficient while offering "irresponsible amounts of performance." Huang promised both cards would be overclockable but didn't provide further details as to how.
