We have all our products working very well on clean installs of = Lion with 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 hardware acceleration on ATI Macs

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

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

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

Cheers,
Chris

SafeHarbor had the best price when I = bought mine.

Thanks. Will pick up an adapter.

Anyone know if this has been = resolved and there are no problems? I'm assuming it's an older issue, = but I've seen comments from just a few months ago.

I have an AJA Kona3 for broadcast monitoring, but I need the dual = display for desktop.

Looking to pull the trigger today if you guys can give some = guidance.
Thanks,
