Recently upgraded to CC2018 Premiere and finding the system dropping too many frames when playing Prores 4K 23.976FPS video. A check of CPU usage shows about 45%, but GPU usage shows 75% or higher.
 
In earlier versions, I could play through an entire timeline almost without dropping any frames. But a hundred or more frames dropped per minute is unacceptable.
 
Looks like I need a much faster card. What's out there that would at least double or more, the GPU performance so I can edit Prores smoothly at 24 FPS?

A gtx 1080 should do the job.

Edit: Make that the 1080 Ti

Yes, I'm using a DCI 4K production monitor, also driving a DCI 4K Sony WV675ES projector for our screening room with this GPU.
 
Is 75% GPU too much at 24FPS? Not enough headroom and cause of dropped frames when playing Prores timeline?
 
I've heard good things about the 1080Ti, though I haven't been able to find a direct comparison with the Titan X that is going on 3 years old now. I think I need at least double the performance of the Titan X to get the full 24 FPS out of Premiere.
 
Oddly, this version does better with Phantom 4 Pro drone footage than it does with Prores. The CS6 version could handle Prores nicely, but drone footage, not so good.

Holy smokes!! At these prices, I may as well get their top end workstation card... Amazon's prices for USED 1080Ti go to $2600!!!!

Brand new at Newegg for $700.00 > https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487376&ignorebbr=1
Lots to choose from for 1080 Ti cards.

Ignore 3rd party pricing scams. Only buy from reputable sources

+1.  Like the link I provided above.  Sold and shipped by Newegg...

I 'm just saying off the cuff  , but abobe  had hardware issues  before   like coolgtzx implied .    some series of cards may not be well supported  . like using a ''gaming '' card when you really need the  ''work station '' series of cards 
 
a gaming card like say a 980 ti or a 1080  can work   but lack the support needed that you do get in the workstation cards  .    also not only adobe could optimize there software for workstation  / fully supported  and ''gamin cards may only cover so much of whats needed to be fully supported   NVidia drivers also differ  between the 2  as far as full support in a app like CC2018 Premiere.
 
maybe some help here to get some reading started ?

also check the user comments
 
ya. your 900 series or a 10 series may work but they may suffer  where a workstation card don't cause it is the cards the program is designed to be ''fully'' used with . so if you were to invest in a 1080 or ti   you may still not see any real gains for the money you just spent over the 900 cards  in something like this . 
 
 
 
''The GTX 1080 Ti is about 14% faster than the GTX 1070, 9% faster than the GTX 1080, and about 1% faster than the Titan X. ''
 
1% for a 700 buck new card ?
 
too bad they don't use some workstation cards in the results to see how they stand compared to .

The GTX 1080 is the best option. 

I guess I should stay with CS6 for Prores edits and CC2018 for XAVC and drone footage, as it seems to do best with those formats.
 
It's hard to evaluate cards without actually TRYING them in the application one plans to use!

true.   you  could google around   VS.    like quadro vs  980 ti / 1080 /titan  for 4 k   or editing or what ever and review whats said 
 
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/427235-editing-raw-red-45k-footage-gtx-980-ti-vs-quadro-k4200/
 
 
it seems it comes down to you want pro card results or  just fine recreational card results .     just cant say if doing it at 4k  is whats hurting them all in the end trying to keep that at optimum  FRP or super smooth rendering ?
 
you maybe best to hold on to see what the  next gen of NVidia cards bring  that's a tad bit  better then the 10 series ?   as poplur as 4 k is now they may be better geared to push it  
 
like here you see a guy brought up adobe may not allow a gaming card to do something like that 10 bit use ,ect.....
 
''I remember reading that the NVIDIA Titan X could do 10-bit colour, but it was unclear if Adobe programs allow it.''
 
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1924788
 
see that's the thing I want to try to recall  is that adobe  full features  may or may not work on gaming cards   . there programs have been funny that way  , and what makes me think of this is when the 900 series came out a lot of then guys  were complaining  to adobe  cause there cards were not being ''fully supported ''.

if you can hold on to see what the new NVidia cards  bring to the table   may see the titan if doing ok still or the 1080/ti  is better and there prices come down to close out for the new cards release  or the new series NVidia cards may be the ticket at new card price ?
 
that of course if its  not something else in your system holding thing back and not the card in the end  [cpu/ memory/ harddrive, ect... ]   if so a ''better''  card may not help at all and in the same boat
 
 
that titanx aint no slouch  as is anyway   I would think it should do you a fair decent job  over all in this  [??? ]

I won't buy another item from Newegg, ever. They gave up private information to the State of CT without a court order. Newegg doesn't care about customer privacy.

Well, it is the law. If they didn't fold, they would have had to do it in the end anyway and it would have just cost the government and newegg more money to stall. Amazon is affected by the same tax laws. Anyway, believe what you want.

what does the rest of your rig consist of MW? DD may be on to something. if your cpu or ssd isnt up to snuff that may be a cheaper upgrade. also wondering if any of your software support sli? you might be better off with two of the same cards.

Connecticut law has no force in California. Newegg could just tell em to pound sand. Now they're losing lots of CT customers as a result.

Titan X Not Powerful Enough for Premiere CC2018?
 
The GeForce GTX Titan X and a Titan X are two different graphics Cards.
Titans are no longer a GeForce Gaming Graphics Card (GTX)
 

 
Well that's interesting.. there are so many Titan X cards it's confusing! Mine says Geforce on it, so I guess, even though it cost a grand in 2015, it's not up to the task.
 
Is there someplace that has a comparison of GF Titan X vs the Titan X and the 1080Ti?
 
If the 1080Ti is 3X faster than the Maxwell based Titan X, then I think it's worth springing for $710 if it will solve my playback problems when a LUT is applied in CC2018. Playback performance is the ONLY issue I have with 2018. The rest is ideal.
 
There's no SLI on this motherboard. It's a SuperMicro X10DRi, server type. That's for the Dual CPU capability.

SC = Super Clocked = Factory Guaranteed Over Clock (OC)
 
Part Number on Your Titan X ?  (sounds like the 900 series GPU)
 
Use GPU-Z if you can't see the part number
 
(See my Post #4)
"If you have a TitanX of the older 900 series, youll be impressed by the new 10 series GPUs - more powerful & less energy consumed - Watts
 
I'd go with a 1080 Ti --> sounds like your using a 4K monitor"
