trying not to high-jack this thread,
on the windows platform would the GeForce GTX770 4GB justify the cost over the equivalent GTX760 4GB for AE or is it not worth it?
additionally any other suggestion at a sub 300 price range :-)

Ah I was thinking of dual 580s. Can't wait to add a second Titan when they get cheaper.

Consider me educated. I haven't played around with environment maps in AE raytrace much.

One place where more VRAM helps a lot is when you have an animated/changing environment map layer. When you have little VRAM, there's a lot of time wasted uploading and clearing textures to and from the VRAM; with a lot of VRAM, more can be held on the GPU at once.

Also, plug-ins like Element 3D that rely on the GPU perform better (and crash less) with more VRAM.<= /p>

From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Rendernyc

=EF=BF=BD

I have seen significantly less errors in ae and pr as well as crashes due to low VRAM after switching from 2gb to 4gb.=EF=BF=BD
