Hi Jim,
first you have to copy the file ‘raytracer_supported_cards.txt’ on to the desktop.
Then type this in the list of supported cards:
GeForce GTX TITAN
Save and copy that file back into the ‘Support Files’ folder.
My titan works fine on CS6 / Win7.

Did you have any trouble getting AE to recognize the Titan? I’m just getting ‘incompatible device or driver’. :-\ (running Windows 8… which I don’t recommend
upgrading to)
Drivers are updated, Premiere seems to recognize it (I listed it the supported_cards file), but AE is showing CUDA grayed out and won’t use the GPU. Not sure
what’s up. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Jim

So a while ago I posted an AE graphic card benchmark at creative cow that has gotten a lot of responses, so I threw together a quick, readable spreadsheet of the results. I was mainly curious about compute performance
of the new titan card vs. last gen 5xx cards and the kepler 6xx series. I wanted to see if the titan was worth the extra $1,000, because it is in fact a consumer version of the nvidia k20 tesla which costs over $3k. The results were very interesting. The original
thread is here
What I would love to add are any results with the newer quadros (5000 / 6000) or any tesla card.
Furthermore I'd be interested to hear any thoughts from 3D users about their experiences using an AMD 7950 vs nvidia consumer card for viewport 3D (using zbrush / maya / or C4D especially)
The amount of C4D work I've been doing has only increased in the last year and I can imagine when CS7 comes out that's only going to increase. viewport accuracy is going to be of a larger concern and nvidia
is using a poor strategy to differentiate the quadros by gimping compute performance in the 6xx consumer cards.
Would also love to hear any thoughts on these results, I'll refrain from saying what I think until people get a chance to check it out.
