Performance boost with ATI 5870?
Hello Everyone,
I was at the apple store today and with several problems occurring with my machine, they offered as compensation to upgrade my existing 5770 to an ATI 5870 for no extra cost.
For my video editing needs (adobe premiere pro, Final cut x) and my 3d/visual effects needs (adobe after effects, cinema 4d) will i see a noticeable performance boost with the upgraded card?
I was looking at purchasing the GTX 680 in a couple months but since I received this upgrade for free I should just hold off for a bit in hopes that I will see a performance boost in my above applications? (I know it doesn't support Cuda cores, so idk how it will greatly benefit my workflow..
The machine is at apple getting work done, so I thought I would see everyone's thoughts prior to receiving my machine back
Machine:
12-core 2.4ghz (2.67 turbo boost)
40gb ram
120ssd boot/applications drive
1tb scratch drive
ATI radeon 5870
Thanks in advance!
