We have all our products working very well on clean installs of Lion w= ith the Quadro 4000 on the Mac.

Get in touch with = me for the latest builds and try then on a clean install of Lion.

Also we have been working with AI + Apple very closely = and have the ATI version working in software. Getting there on on the hardw= are acceleration on ATI Macs

All good on Windows o= n qualified ATI + NVIDIA cards.

FreeForm V2 (not bundled with AE CS6) has no GPU requir= ements.

My 2 cents... I really like the GTX 680 fo= r the Mac and I am sure that the AE team will do their best to have CS6 wor= k well with it. Too good a card to pass up on.

Cheers,
Chris
