Looks good, congratulations on the successful build!

Just updated my build, and worked like a charm. Thanks! http://www.tonymacx86.com/golden-builds/70530-slugnets-video-editor-ga-z77x-ud5h-i7-3770k-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-660-ti.html

Hi guys, been reading through this thread, sorry it has taken a while for me to jump in. I've gone through and read through all of the posts, and thought I'd test to see if my build/660 Ti was having any of the issues you are describing. First, I've never seen any of the errors described in...

This particular card is even newer than the 660 ti, so even less is known about it. The things I know are (a) it wasn't available when I was purchasing for my system and (b) it is less powerful than the ti. It has 960 CUDA cores, and as an overall card is slightly less powerful, which I think...

The big difference for video editing is the amount of CUDA cores on your video card. For comparison, the GTX 670 and the GTX 660ti both have 1344 CUDA cores, while the GT 640 only has 384. The 560 ti also has 384, while the high end of the 5xx series, the 590 has 1024. There are other factors at...

The only Adobe applications that utilize the CUDA ability of the nVidia cards are Premiere and After Effects CS6 for ray tracing. Photoshop uses the mercury engine, however it is based on OpenCL and not CUDA, so any graphics solution that has OpenCL (including the on board HD4000) will provide...

Indeed, it seems that many people are having issues with the 660ti and FCPX, although in my case it seems to be working just fine. However, as you stated that you are using Adobe programs, you should have no issue with this particular graphics card. I haven't seen much complaining about not...

Compare your benchmark score to other scores. For instance, Luxmark has a searchable database of scores here: http://www.luxrender.net/luxmark/search/search How does your score rank against other cards of the same or similar type? That should tell you if you are in the ballpark of performance...

You can use one of the recommended benchmark programs in this post: http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/48498-graphics-benchmark-programs.html

Just wanted to say that, although I had ML up and running using the old Multibeast, this fixed my final issue of USB 3.0 support. So, my system is now fully operational on ML. Thanks!

Also, just to answer a question from earlier in this thread, Final Cut 7 (and previous) do not make use of your graphics card. Rendering and so forth is all CPU driven. Final Cut X, however, does use your gpu for background rendering and other tasks. It can make use of any card that works on an...

Dual channel just means you need to use matched sticks in pairs on the board. However, this board will take up to 4 sticks of ram for a max of 32 GB of memory. Personally, I'm all in favor of more RAM, so I say go for 16.

I recently built a similar video editing machine and used the 6870, it works great. You can check out the build here for benchmarks and notes: viewtopic.php?f=54&t=32526 Most of the software you mentioned doesn't specifically use the video card to power through (unless he is using FCP X instead...
