When Adobe worked with NVIDIA to create the CS5 Mercury Playback Engine, they made it more important than ever to choose the best graphics board for your NLE workstation. In the past, when manufacturers required special graphics cards, they were often extremely expensive. Now, the NVIDIA Quadro 4000 by PNY is an incredibly powerful board for under $1,000 and it's available for either PC or Mac! While the Quadro4000 Mac costs a little more than it's PC brother, it is substantially less expensive than any other Quadro board ever offered for Mac.
The Quadro 4000 is based on NVIDIA's Fermi technology, which is the next generation of their CUDA technology. This is an understatement, it's more like CUDA on steroids. The Fermi/CUDA power allows software vendors to tap directly into the GPUs many processing cores. The Quadro 4000 has a whopping 256 CUDA Parallel Processing Cores to go along with it's 2GB of GDDR5 memory. Think about that, it's like having a dedicated graphics workstation on a card. The folks at Adobe jumped on this and other software manufacturers in the content creation and encoding business are following along. When you put a Quadro 4000 in your PC or Mac workstation, you're making sure that you'll have the GPU CUDA performance to take full advantage of these new performance enhancements as they become available in more and more applications.

For years we have been recommending NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics boards to our professional customers who demand the highest level of performance, reliability and stability. Quadro cards cost a bit more than your average gaming graphics card, but for professional content creators, the extra cost is often worth it. In a nut shell, many tech support issues we run into are graphics card related. While you may be able to save some bucks going with a gaming card, we feel confident that if you invest in a Quadro4000, you'll be happy you did!
The world's best under $1,000 graphics card for the Adobe CS5 Mercury Playback Engine!
With the introduction of the Mercury Playback Engine, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 becomes the world's first CUDA optimized NLE solution. The Quadro 4000 taps into the new Fermi technology, which is basically CUDA on steroids. For under $900 the Quadro4000 delivers performance that blows away the almost twice as expensive QuadroFX4800 cards. The Quadro 4000 for MAC is the must have upgrade for Mac based Adobe CS5 users. Now, for under $1,000, you can edit multiple layers of native DSLR or AVCHD footage, plus incredible graphics performance with Photoshop, After Effects and all the other software in the Adobe CS5 Production Premium.
Design, iterate, and deliver in less time The Quadro 4000 is the first professional graphics solution in its class to integrate high-performance computing with advanced visualization, transforming modern workflows. Delivering up to 5x faster performance, the Quadro 4000 professional graphics solution drives a broad range of design, animation and video applications. With Scalable Geometry Engine™ technology, Quadro 4000 can process up to 890 million triangles per second, enabling professionals to design, iterate and deliver higher quality results in less time
Unleash the creativity in your editing suite Blockbuster films are not made overnight, but with Adobe Premiere® Pro CS5 and NVIDIA® Quadro® graphics solutions, editing time can be drastically reduced. At the heart of Premiere Pro CS5 is the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine – built using the NVIDIA® CUDA™ parallel processing architecture – so Quadro GPUs deliver real-time previewing and editing of native, high-resolution footage, including multiple layers of RED 4K video.
Whether you're working on independent films or corporate videos, you are no doubt under tight deadlines, and stringent budget constraints. However, Quadro professional graphics solutions easily transform a workstation into a high-end post production system, at a fraction of the cost. With boosted performance and amazingly fluid, real-time video editing, you can feel confident to work your magic in front of a client, rather than having to endure the painful wait for your effects to render. Leaving one real question - what do you do with all that extra time?
- Refine and apply multiple color corrections and effects, in HD and higher-resolution sequences, with smooth scrubbing and playback – all in real-time!
- Experience rich, vivid image quality with the broadest dynamic range with 30-bit color fidelity.
- Work in real-time on complex timelines and large projects with thousands of clips – whether your source is SD, HD, 2K, 4K or beyond.
- Easily integrate project files from After Effects and Photoshop into Premiere Pro and edit in real-time.
- Designed by NVIDIA, built by NVIDIA, and directly supported by NVIDIA with an extended three year warranty.
