Hi, considering that I must buy a new video card for Premiere Pro CC 2017, I am undecided among the 980, the Titan, or the 1060. Which do you recommend me? Does The 980 work as a card recommended by Adobe for GPU acceleration (CUDA)? Does The Titan have different versions which I must take? Which do you recommend me between the Titan and the 1060? Thanks

I am using the EVGA GTX 1060 SC (06G-P4-6163-KR) with CC 2017.  It is a reasonable priced card and with the built-in superclocking plus the free, available, and safe overclocking it is an excellent buy and works perfectly for CUDA acceleration.

I just bought a EVGA GTX Titan and then released it was used.  Now I'm looking at returning it.  I considered the 10 series cards but are they supported (I would suppose so since you are uing the 1060 SC)? They are not listed on the Premiere Pro supported cards...not sure if it is even worth it to try the Used Titan...it is an older card, right?

This a great discussion for anyone trying to upgrade their GPU.  I'm curious to know what you end up going with @giovannif93934290

I am a constant experimenter as required by my Premiere Pro BenchMark (as funds are available) but the best score on PPBM ever scored is 8 seconds on the MPEG2-DVD timeline with GPU acceleration.  That was on a dual Xeon with 512 GB of RAM with four GTX 980 GPU's  On my i7-5960X @4.5 GHz with 64 GB of RAM and two GTX 1060 overclocked GPU's I get 10 seconds.

All GTX 1000 series GPU's work great with Premiere's GPU CUDA acceleration.
