Can I change the GTX 970 bios?
Can I change the GTX 970 bios?
Thanks for the update, I wasn't aware AMD outperforms NVIDIA. Indeed, the mod bios function smoothly.
Valentin_91 was unsure about AMD's advantages over Nvidia. The issue lies in the fact that neither architecture supports OpenCL rendering with MC AVC and Sony AVC, which is still unclear whether it refers to Sony or Magix AVC now. This is mainly a Magix concern since other editing tools rely on modern GPUs. Magix Vegas 14 apparently removed this feature entirely. The R9 280 was bought for OpenCL rendering in Movie Studio, but it also didn't work well. With the Sony AVC codec, it fails to use the GPU during OpenCL rendering. A driver problem in a AAA game that remained unresolved for over a year led to switching to Nvidia. Despite years of using AMD, I've grown tired of falling behind others. For GPU acceleration, you'll need software like Adobe Premiere Pro with built-in support. Lightworks seems to have OpenCL rendering but likely requires an older card as well.
things appear to be malfunctioning today. it seems opencl is not functioning properly, and while it was once a popular choice for Linux, now nvidia is more widely accepted. sadly, it feels like hardware support has ended.
i prefer to say that when purchasing equipment, you must ensure compatibility because manufacturers no longer back it up.
i also bought two older systems—one running with xp 32 and another with vista 32. i had to switch to nvidia since some games wouldn’t load on an amd card using drivers older than 12.6. now i can uninstall the newer driver, install an older one below 12.6, play the game, but if i go back to 13.12 the games stop working completely, even after installing under the old driver.
now with a 980ti nvidia card everything works fine.
regarding new hardware, you’ll need all updated components and a compatible operating system; vista 7 and above may not work properly, even in compatibility mode. no going back there.
it seems upgrading is actually more frustrating now than helpful, unless the issue is permanent and i have no other option.
good luck!
by the way, i remember nvidia users complaining about this program too—like when the 900 series was released?
"if you want gpu accelerated rendering, you’ll need to use something like adobe premiere pro."
I also noticed NVidia users complaining about that program at one point, similar to when the 900 series was released. That’s not surprising. I was told it functioned previously, but I can’t verify it anymore since I’m not paying any monthly fees for a video editor. I checked online and found out it doesn’t seem to work there either. It’s really disappointing.
I faced the same problem with AMD drivers. One of my preferred games became unplayable because of those drivers. The older 12.6 drivers worked, but they didn’t support my R9 280 (or Windows 10, as I remember). It wasn’t until I switched to Nvidia that I could play it again after years of frustration with the game X3: Terran Conflict and X3: Albion Prelude. There was also an issue with Elite: Dangerous—there was a bug in the drivers that caused FPS to drop to single digits for over ten seconds. It took more than a year for them to release a fix. I only switched to a GTX 970 a few days before they issued a driver patch for it. The game Transistor wouldn’t even load with my R9 280; another one existed, but I can’t recall what it was.
It seems like developers aren’t paying much attention to user feedback. When thousands of people report problems, it feels unfair to ignore them and just ignore the issue.
I get it, I really enjoy Vegas. Premier works well, but I think there are more things to explore here. I usually work with this software.
I don’t have old cards, but with my actual PC setup I can create a 720p video in just 30 minutes. The file is 25 minutes long and uses Sony AVC format.
If I switch to the main AVC option, it would take about an hour. But the video is actually more compressed.
I'm not an expert on this, but what about the professional video cards such as Quattro's and FirePros? Ain't they cards made and used for that. Our 3rd compute benchmark is Sony Vegas Pro 12... Check out the review here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8526/nvidi...1468451130 How are you with the CPU side? Dual Xeon? I don't play games much, so I'm not familiar with GPUs in gaming, but in Sony Vegas AMD is the recommended card. That's not bias, just honest results from testing different cards for the best fit. It seems using that program, AMD is what you'd need?
