Nvidia GeForce GT 730 good enough to use Adobe CC software?

[koko_heng]

Good days to everyone. I need your advice on choosing the right video card for my workstation. Currently I'm using build-in graphic card Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400 for graphic design and video editing.

Anyway, I had difficulty to enjoy 3D feature in PS CC to create 3D font, AI CC keep stop responding every clicks when I try to do an A4 size artwork, and I can't even load After Effect.

I hope that the video card is good enough to support multitasking, which I can open PS and AI at the same time, and allow me to copy vector from AI and paste into PS directly.

I'm only an immediately user on PS, AI and After Effect, so that I'm choosing Nvidia GeForce GT 730, is it good enough or not suitable for my experience? Please advice ><

Thank you very much!

This article by designer Roberto Blake should give you some insight.

With updated drivers on my Geforce 730, I can only engage OpenCl (needed for the OilPaint filter) by cutting back to 1 monitor.  Not a show stopper, but still weird.

Thanks for the update. So the new drivers did that? I suppose you can roll back if it ever becomes a big deal. Nvidia support may want to know. Otherwise I hope you are getting your work done with the new card.

For Premiere Pro CC forget about the GT 730: Even with GDDR5 memory and a newer Kepler design with 384 CUDA cores, it is still nearly 2.5 times slower than a GTX 950. And if you got the wrong GT 730, you'd end up with the spectacularly lousy rebrand of the old GT 430 from 2010, with only 96 CUDA cores!

The GT 730 is one of those GPUs which make a highly overclocked i7 CPU-based PC slower overall, especially in exports which involve rendering on the GPU at all, than a stock-clocked dual-core i3 CPU-based PC with a higher-end GPU.
