hi, I don't mean to derail the thread but I'm actually quite curious about this point.

It's already been derailed, but what else is there to say on the matter? There's Windows, there's OSX and there's Linux, OP just needs to pick his poison.

I wonder what is the digital video editing in Linux like? Because part of the reason why I'm staying with AMD on my home PC is because it works well enough for both moderate gaming & video editing using Open CL. BUT obviously the new Nvidia cards (1080) are very very tempting. So if there was a good Linux solution that works well with Nvidia cards it would be trivial/easy to run my home PC using 1080 for gaming on windows while doing video editing stuff on Linux dual boot (if they make good use of the new NVIDIA cards on that platform).

I'm not sure, actually. My knowledge is that video editing software on Linux is terrible, courtesy of there simply not being any good ones. The best video editor I used on Linux so far is Blender, and that's not even a video editor first and foremost. (although it's certainly more than sufficient to cut and encode a few clips)

This may have changed by now, though. Development in the GNU/Linux world can be mindbogglingly fast at times.

Anyway, both OpenCL and CUDA are well supported, but whether there's software around by now that makes use of them for your use case, I cannot tell, really.


hm right. Thanks anyway. I guess it's time for me to do some googling to check more :p

Cheers Love! The cavalry's here!

So here I go to sleep one day and see my thread has exploded when I wake up, hahaha. Anyway, thanks for the information to all of you. Not to mention it was a useful update on the OS front. I have been out of the loop in that area for some time now (6-7 years) so much appreciated!! I'll see what I can do and thanks once again! Blink

Maybe you really should stay off of operating systems that charge if you think that wasn't relevant or helpful. Then you won't have to worry about running old out of date stuff that gets you pwned every five minutes.


It wasn't.. you just pointed out the obvious.. you can fly away now.. redundant response is redundant.
