Anyone here use Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 16? Need some advice on hardware... Got a new rig :
i7 4770K
Asus z87-K
8 GB GSkill Ripjaws 1600Mhz
Samsung SSD 120 GB (OS and apps)
WD Black 1TB (media and render)
750W Corsair PSU
Pioneer BRW
Im using the intergrated GPU HD4600 from the i7.. and the system runs Pinnacle fine, if not great? Using any format from mp4/mov 1440x1080 or 1920x1080 .. renders fast too. No hiccups on the timeline projects I see or find. My question is should I spend $ on a GPU? Pinnacle says that it does take CUDA cards now.. but I'm not getting a straight answer from their board on if it has any benefits and if it does where would I see it? Adding effects/rendering etc.. What should I do, stick with what I have? I know Pinnacle is not Vegas/Premiere/AE etc.. so a Quadro card is definitely not needed.
