I wish to know if Quadro P4000 will work with the old Adobe Premiere 5. Since my customers old Quadro card has failed and he wants to replace it with the new card.

Thanks Guys for all your support, The customer clarified all, His software is Adobe CS5.5 and this will support the Cards. He has been using Quadro 5000 and 6000 Cards with Win 7 OS.

The customer has got this as an Aid, since the card is faulty they are now looking to change it for GTX 1050 Ti cards. Which we have told will not provide performance as the Quadro cards. Lets wait for their reply.

That customer is very lucky that Premiere 5 even ran at all on even Windows 7 32-bit, let alone Windows 7 64-bit. What's more, at the time Premiere 5.0 came out, Windows 98 was just released to manufacturing. And the systems of that era did not even have PCIe or SATA at all. If the client's system is really that old, you will have to find an old AGP graphics card since PCIe cards such as that Quadro P4000 will not even fit, let alone work in, that old PC.

This is exactly why we are asking for the rest of the hardware specs of the client's PC.

Thanks RJL

Thats a good point, need to check. But the customer said they had Quadro 4000, thats using PCI-e x16 slot.

Still need to visit the site and check.

I feel the system is early 2000 or late 1998 so it should have these requirements.

If the original card was a Quadro 4000, I believe that the system in question is from the early days of the i7 branding, circa 2010-2011. Likely the Westmere generation, in the days just before Sandy Bridge began shipping. PCI-e was only announced in 2003, but did not gain widespread popularity until about 2005 or so.

Is it Premiere Pro CS5 or the real antique Premiere 5? CS5 does support GPU acceleration but Premiere 5 does not,

The old Premiere 5 probably is running on Windows NT or Windows 95.. What is the OS? That probably will be the deciding factor. You will need a graphics card driver that works with the OS. I doubt very much that a current generation GPU will have drivers for those vintage OS's. You may have to find an old GPU. What is the old GPU model number, I have some antiques laying around.
