Undecoded Message

I'll skip to the punchline of the article that Jim linked to: If you're looking for smooth playback of un-effected video streams, a powerful GPU won't help, since decoding is done on the CPU. If you're doing anything to the clips (effects, scaling, de-interlacing, frame rate conversions, etc.), then the GPU matters, and the CUDA/OpenCL features of Premiere Pro CS5 and later are a godsend.

 

But please do read that article that Jim linked to. It is (IMNSHO) the best resource for what the GPU does for Premiere Pro.

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.)
