Those cards also have the best performance per watt of any cards made (as Nvidia went to great lengths to reduce power consumption and heat generated with the new Maxwell design). The newer GTX 750, GTX 750 Ti, GTX 960, GTX 970 and GTX 980 models are the only cards within the Nvidia lineup based on a newer Maxwell architecture design, that offers better performance with OpenCL compared to the earlier generation cards they replaced. With Photoshop CC, what users found was the the newer Smart Sharpen filter was significantly faster with some of the newer card models compared to older card models within the Nvidia Lineup.įor example, the GTX 750 Ti versus the older GTX 650 Ti, as reported in this thread by Thomas Niemann:
Until we see benchmarks of LR CC using different card models doing different tasks, there is no way to know how much difference one card will make versus another. Of course, all newer cards are going to be PCIe 3.0 anyway, and you'll want to get a newer card if spending money on one, so you get one that supports the latest DirecX, OpenGL and OpenCL standards. If you were running something like a GTX 980 (a card selling for over $800 discounted), then it might be a little faster with a PCIe 3.0 slot, as it can handle very high bandwidths that way.īut, for the types of cards in your apparent price range, it really doesn't make any difference, as PCIe x16 2.0 is plenty fast enough to support the bandwidth needed for most cards. Recommended cards?ĭon't worry about the difference between PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 for your purposes. Other thoughts and suggestions appreciated. How much diff is there between PCI-Express 3.0 and 2.0 if I'm not a gamer? Would I see a difference? Is 2.0 fine? Suports PCI-Express 3.0 x16 Would like to stay with NVIDIA, something fanless to be quiet.
Have Asus P877-vlk motherboard Current Card is Gigabyte GeForce 8500 GT (GV-NX85T512HP) 512 MB CPU RAM Will a new card speed things up?
