| Author | - Topic: VIDEO CARD RANKING LIST FOR VIDEO MIXING - |
|---|---|
 Posted Wed 03 Jan 07 @ 6:16 amVideo mixing in VDJ has two modes:
- None accelerated video : This needs a far less powerfull video card, but will consume more CPU and will NOT show video effects or transitions effects in "3d" or how its intended to show. - Accelerated mode : VDJ uses the video cards built in powers to render effects and transitions. It will consume less CPU Outdated (these cards support have very week or no video mixing support and will most likely NOT work with VDJ hardware accelerated mixing thats needed for 3d effects use. These cards will most likely not be able to export the videomix to external monitor either ) Radeon 9100 IGP (integrated graphics) Radeon 9200SE GeForce 3 Ti 200 GeForce 3 GeForce 3 Ti 500 Radeon 9250 Radeon 9000 Radeon 9200 Radeon 9100 Matrox Parahelia 128 Radeon 8500 & Radeon 9000pro GeForce 4 Ti Mobile Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP Mobility Radeon 9100 IGP Radeon 9000Mobility Radeon 9200Mobility Partially outdated (these cards support week video mixing support, and migth not support hardware accelerated mode, or be able to preview on external monitor) GeForce FX 5200 GeForce PCX 5300 GeForce FX 5500 GeForce FX 5200 Ultra GeForce FX 5600 GeForce FX 5700LE GeForce FX 5700 GeForce PCX 5750 GeForce FX 5600 Ultra GeForce FX 5700ultra GeForce PCX 5900 GeForce FX 5900XT GeForce FX 5800 GeForce FX 5800ultra GeForce FX 5900 GeForce FX 5900ultra GeForce FX 5950ultra Mobile GeForce FX Go5200 Nvidia FX Go5600/5650 Nvidia FX Go5700 Low-end (these cards might be considered weak, but some might work with hardware accelerated mode. If exported to external monitor, they might be too weak to run both video and effects without struggle, or not work at all. For internak mixing on PC they might work fine) Intel GMA 900 & 950 Integrated graphics (chipset 915 &945) (need 3DAnalyse to emulate TnL function) GeForce 6100 IGP (integrated graphics) Radeon Xpress 200 (integrated graphics) GeForce 6150 IGP (integrated graphics) Radeon 9550SE & Radeon X300SE Radeon 9600SE Radeon X550SE GeForce 6200 64bit (NV44) Radeon X300SE HyperMemory GeForce 6200 TurboCache GeForce 6500 (TurboCache) Radeon 9550 Radeon 9500 Radeon X300 & Radeon 9600 GeForce 6200 128bit (NV43a) GeForce 6600LE (4 pipe) Radeon X1300 HyperMemory (64bit) GeForce 7300GS (TurboCache) Radeon X550 Radeon 9800SE 128bit (4 pipe) Radeon 9600pro & Radeon X600pro Radeon 9600XT Radeon 9800SE 256bit (4 pipe) Radeon 9500pro Radeon X600XT Radeon X1300 & All-in-Wonder 2006 Radeon X1300pro Mobile Intel GMA 900 & 950 Integrated graphics (need 3DAnalyse to emulate TnL function) GeForce Go 6100 Radeon Xpress 200M Mobility Radeon X300 (64bit) Mobility Radeon X300 HyperMemory (64bit) GeForce Go 6200 (TurboCache) Mobility Radeon X600SE HyperMemory (64bit) GeForce Go 6400 (TurboCache) GeForce Go 7300 (TurboCache) Mobility Radeon 9600 GeForce Go 7400 (TurboCache) Mobility Radeon X600 HyperMemory (128bit) Mobility Radeon X600 Mobility Radeon 9700 (4 pipe) Mobility Radeon X1300 HyperMemory (128bit) Mobility Radeon X1400 HyperMemory (128bit) Mid-Range (these cards were/could've been considered top-end a few years ago, and are fairly powerful, and and most of them have no problem mixing with hardware accelerated mode internally. Some might not work at best level on external output, while some, like X1600 or 6800 or X800 should be doing ok. Video effect use with several effects activated similatiously might render slow on these cards, while regular video mixing, and single effect use can work good) GeForce 6600 Radeon 9700 Radeon 9800 GeForce 7300GT (8 pipe) GeForce 6600 DDR2 PCI-E Radeon 9700pro Radeon X700 Radeon 9800pro Radeon 9800XT ASUS GeForce 6800 512MB 128bit 540MHz crapness GeForce 6800LE (8 pipe) GeForce 6800XT (8 pipe) GeForce 6600GT Radeon X700pro GeForce 6800 Radeon X1600pro Radeon X800SE (8 pipe) Radeon X800GT & Radeon X800RX (8 pipe) Mobile GeForce Go 6600 Mobility Radeon X700 Mobility Radeon X1600 Mobility Radeon 9800 (= X800SE on desktop) GeForce Go 6800 GeForce Go 7600 (8 pipe) Mid-High range (some of these cards arent actually new, even outdated, but should be able to run VDJ mixing on a good level, hardware accelerated) GeForce 6800GS (AGP version) GeForce 6800GS (PCI-express version) GeForce 7600GS Radeon X800 Radeon X800GTO Radeon X1600XT GeForce 6800GT Radeon X800pro Radeon X850pro GeForce 6800ultra Radeon X800XL & Radeon X800GTO 16 & Radeon X800GTO² GeForce 7600GT GeForce 7800GS Radeon X1800GTO (12 pipe) Radeon X800XT Radeon X850XT Radeon X800XT Platinum Edition Radeon X850XT Platinum Edition Mobile Mobility Radeon X800 GeForce Go 6800Ultra GeForce Go 7800 (16 pipe) Mobility Radeon X1800 (12 pipe) Mobility Radeon X800XT High-End! (these cards are outrageous; they are rather expensive, but insanely powerful. all of them are powerful enough to run the full eye candy setting, with effective render of simultanious effects on the video, and no glitches when skipping fast forward or backwards in the video) GeForce 7800GT Gainward GeForce 7800GS 512MB Bliss AGP (7800GT 20 pipe) Radeon X1800XL GeForce 7800GTX Gainward GeForce 7800GS+ 512MB Bliss AGP (7900GT 24 pipe) GeForce 7900GT Radeon X1900 All-in-Wonder GeForce 7800GTX 512 GeForce 7900GTX Mobile GeForce Go 7900GS (20 pipe) GeForce Go 7800GTX Mobility Radeon X1800XT GeForce Go 7900GTX Maximum Quality (these cards are top of the line for flawless video use in any setting, mode or use) Radeon X1900GTO (Crossfire for ultra high res AA/AF) Radeon X1800XT (Crossfire for ultra high res AA/AF) Radeon X1800XT PE (Crossfire for ultra high res AA/AF) Radeon X1900XT (Crossfire for ultra high res AA/AF) Radeon X1900XTX (Crossfire for ultra high res AA/AF) [source of this guide is a gamer community, that have tested these cards extensivly on games. The guide is therefore not garanteed to be 100% accurate for video mixing, but should be pretty close. And some of these cards might not have tv-out) |

| Posted Wed 03 Jan 07 @ 6:55 am great idea thanks
of course i'm thrilled that my hideous ati radeon 200 made the low end list.......lol |
|
| Posted Wed 03 Jan 07 @ 7:08 am Gimme some nVidia 8800 (768MB of VRam?!!!) or ATI 850 action... in a notebook!
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!!! The ATI Mobility Radeon x1600 (128MB) in my MacBook Pro works fine. =) |
|
| Posted Wed 03 Jan 07 @ 7:23 am i couldn't help but notice radeon and geforce seem to rule the high end
i'm sure they're great on a mac.......as soon as i can get outta this hospital bed from my injuries from the exploding mac i'm gonna call the fire department again |

(back on topic so norway doesn't smack MY a** like that NorrisWimp guy... who does "Mr. 10 star with the last 2 having some funky red outlines on them" norway think he is anyway, AKON?!!! Smack That norway!) Um, yeah... Radeon and GeForce are good. That should fool him... hehe ;) |
|
| Posted Wed 03 Jan 07 @ 8:24 am 7300 LE For desktops. Have 128mb shared memory as standard. PCI Express card. Might work ok for internal mixer, but not too good on external use. As its PCI-E, I'd place it at low end. |

| Posted Wed 03 Jan 07 @ 10:21 am Can you sticky this thread for future reference please. |
|
| Posted Wed 03 Jan 07 @ 10:30 am yes sticky! |
|
| Posted Wed 03 Jan 07 @ 11:33 am sticky would definitly be nice for technologically impaired to go back to for reference!
so i gather i should make them shell out the big bucks for a monstrously insane graphics card?... the good thing about where i work - they buy and supply EVERYTHING! and if i really need it all i have to do is ask. seriously tho - i would like to do more with the video and get the most out of the software features. any recommendations on the soundcard would be cool too. or would that be another thread? |

| Posted Wed 03 Jan 07 @ 12:04 pm Laptop: Dell Inspiron 5150 (3.2 HT 1.25GB Ram) Video Card: GeForce 5200go 64MB Dedicated Hardware Acceleration: Yes, No problems Performs; Brilliantly! Video, Transitions smooth as silk, Camera pans, very slightly stuttered, but almost un-noticable! When main laptop screen is bogged down with 3 or more video preview windows, video out to club stays smooth. (this was gained after installing a 64MB card vs a 32MB card, it was not so smooth, moreso when main DJ screen, or PC was busy) Downsides: Slightly jittery on videos with long smooth camera pans (this is way rare!) Really busy Sonique plugins can slow folder recursing, rather badly, from 4 seconds with no sonique, to 2 minutes with the worst plugin i found (Thads). This could be from CPU loading though. Recomended?: Yes, Its cheap, and great for video, runs sonique happlily providing you don't recurse at the wrong time! (If this happens, just turn the sonique pugin off for a moment, then reactivate, no one will notice!) |
