Nvidia Quadro K5200 8GB 256-bit PCIe x16 Computer Video Card GPU Dell R93GX

Turns out that buying a GPU (graphics card) to accelerate video editing isn't as simple as buying the biggest, baddest, most expensive thing you afford. After much investigation, I've learned several things:* Adobe software really prefers NVIDIA GPUs with CUDA cores* Although Adobe s/w is compatible with several flavors of NVIDIA GPUs, Quadro boards are better for video editing.* You must ensure that your computer power supply has THE CORRECT POWER CABLE required by the board you select. I originally purchased a GPU that requires an 8-pin power cable, but my Dell Precision T3600 only has 6-pin power cables. You can't convert 6-pin connectors to 8-pin connectors. This K5200 board requires one 6-pin power cable, so it works in my computer.And, most important, this board works great with Premiere Pro. With my old NVIDIA K2000, Premiere and Media Encoder would occasionally choke on particularly complex video projects. This K5200 happily completes rendering on a complex video project that the K2000 couldn't handle, in a fraction of the time the K2000 would have taken had it not choked on the project.

This video card arrived dead. Returned.
