GTX 750 Ti sufficient for GPU Acceleration in CC 2014?

Hi all,

Upgrading from a HD 5870 hopefully - just wanted to know if the GTX 750 Ti with its CUDA technologies would be sufficient for GPU accelerated applications like Pr, Ae, Sg, Ps, Lr and so on? Asking in the Pr forums because that's the application I use the most.

System specs:

ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3

Core i5 2500K @ 4.3GHz

Arctic Cooling Freezer 13

16GB RipJaws-X 1648MHz

ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 5870

OCZ Vertex 4 128GB | WD Green 2TB | WD Green 3TB

LG BH16NS40 Blu-Ray Burner

OCZ ZS 650W

NZXT Lexa S

Windows 8.1 Pro x64

Not too bothered about gaming performance. I don't want to spend a lot of money and the 750 Ti at around £100 seems a good balance between value for money and performance.

The 5870 did work fine with OpenCL and Adobe CC 2014 but for various reasons I'd like to upgrade and go back to NVIDIA.

Thanks all

That GPU would certainly be enough for your system, but I would also replace the green drives with 7200 RPM drives and perhaps increase the RAM.

Great thanks. Green drives are fine for me and RAM at 16GB is also fine so not going to replace those. Thanks though!

Then a GT 740 is more than enough. A GTX 750Ti is overkill, a waste of money and will be idle most of the time, because the rest of the system can not keep up.


Be careful when choosing a GT 740: There are two versions of the GT 740 - one (DDR3) that's a higher-clocked GT 640; the other (GDDR5) a slightly lower-clocked GTX 650. If one chooses the DDR3 version of the GT 740, he could end up with slower performance in Premiere CC 2014 than if he chose even a GT 730 with GDDR5 memory.

That said, I tested an MSI GTX 750 Ti in my auxiliary i5-2400 system with only PCI-e 2.0 capability: Performance-wise (in the MPEG-2 DVD test in the PPBM8 benchmark for CC 2014), that GPU (by my preliminary results) is equal to a GTX 560 (non-Ti) that was previously in that system (this despite the significantly lower 86.4 GB/sec memory throughput of the 750 Ti versus the 128.2 GB/sec throughput of the 560). I will have more detailed results from the 750 Ti-equipped i5 later.
