All this recent talk of graphics cards and the release of AE CS6 with Mercury hardware acceleration has me considering a switch from FCP to Premiere Pro (I have PP5 at the moment because it came with the Production Premium suite)

My late model 2010 model Westmere 8-core Mac Pro tower has the ATI Radeon 5770 card that it came with, and I'm currently driving TWO 30" Apple Cinema Displays.

I'm toying with the idea of buying a Quadro 4000 for Mac.  Is that the best way to get more smooth playback of multiple high def video streams?  (I don't do any 3D work yet.... but I guess if I upgraded to the newest AE I would certainly dabble in it from time to time.)
