Hi I am about to buy a new laptop and wondering about video cards. I have looked at the Adobe specs and none match the 2 graphics cards that have been suggested by the laptop retailers. (they don’t have any that are on the Adobe spec list which I think may be out of date?)

Nvidia® Quadro M1000M with 2GB GDDR5

NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5

I use Premier Pro and After Effects for animation/video editing and often use quite a few effects including gaussian blur etc.

Anyone have any thoughts on these cards for what I want to do?

Thanks for any help.

On a laptop go with the GeForce GTX cards any day of the week. The strength of the Quadro generally is the 10-bit output which would be wasted in a laptop application.

Further the GTX 1060 has 1280 CUDA cores and 6 GB of Video RAM where the Quadro has only 512 CUDA cores and only 2 GB of Video RAM

Hi Bill,

I have just bought the following system and am now immediately regretting it reading your helpful tips.

Precision M5510 Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 (8M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz) 16GB (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 512GB SSD PCIe M.2 15.6" UHD (3840x2160) UltraSharp IGZO Touch Nvidia Quadro M1000M 2GB

I edit wedding films and have started to see problems and realised that Premiere isn't picking up the card. I tried making a folder and adding cuda supported cards but it's still not picking it up. I suppose my question is, can premiere use Quadro M1000M as an acceleration GPU and any idea how I can do this, or do you think I need to upgrade my card after spending €2500 on this laptop only a month ago :O
