    As anyone used the ViDock 4+ with GTX 660TI/670 for Adobe Premiere/Ae/En?

    I'm looking to purchase a ViDock plus but reading reports that systems with lots of memory might get a Code 12 in device manager?

    My System is Dell M6700 with i7 3720QM @ 2.6GHZ with 32GB of 1600 memory.

    My dGPU is the Quadro K3000m and the Intel 4000HD.

    I only want the eGPU for the CUDA processing in Adobe so not worried about FPS and looking to use the Internal LCD rather than External Monitor.

    Try looking on the "Vidock" community on Facebook. They said something about this issue I believe. Code 12 was fixed by Nvidia. I think I read that on the community page but yeah, just go check it out.

    if your using Adobe CS6 only Premier uses CUDA anymore, and rumor has it may be discontinued in the 6.5 update. Adobe has moved Photoshop, Illistrator, After Effects etc to OpenCL. and for now if you run CUDA for Premier Pro you want the highest memory bandwith possible on your GPU. for your OpenCL applications you will take a massive hit in performance using a 660/670 as nvidia neutered the Kepler chips ability to handle CL in favor of gaming and keep its CUDA ability on par with the 500 series.

    with the exception of Premier your K3000 will actually be faster than the 670 for Adobe CS6 as it IS optimized for OpenCL etc. My K5000m is roughly 180% faster than the 680GTX in these programs

    Okay this thread will be changing direction now :O

    Does this mean I will have to change to AMD over Nvidia? Or only use the Quadro to get the best performance?

    in short. YES. you will need to go AMD Radeons ( I do use a 7970m ) or FirePro's. in the Nvidia camp you are now forced to go quadro for CAD/Editing etc as the Gforce chips both desktop and laptop are nutered beyond belieff for anything that is not natively CUDA or gaming.
