Well the Davinci free version is fully featured HD. we picked up Cuda cards on eBay for about $500 per system.

I assume you're kidding about Davinci costing so much. A $250,000 Unix color grading system two years ago now $999.00 on the Mac with a Cuda card.

I would say that many of the filters that do need to be optimized are for GPU. These are mostly third party but the reason I use GenArts Sapphire and Monster and Red Giant filters like Colorista for a lot of my work, because they are GPU accelerated. If you're using an AE filter, levels, ramp, a channel filter, etc, I don't know that GPU would make too much difference. Maybe some of the stylize or generate filters where calculations get more complicated would get some help.

It would be good if all third party filter manufacturers moved toward GPU acceleration. This is what blows my mind every time I used Davinci Resolve. It all runs on the GPU and everything is real time, playback, adding many nodes for correction and even rendering. It leaves most applications in the dust.

What would really knock my socks off would be to optimize as many of the filters as they can in After Effects to utilize both CPU and GPU. Even if that was a .1 upgrade I would gladly pay for that.
    Really what is driving me to buy CS6 is the caching and the tracking although the potential to use the 3D in there like Brian did in his nice video is very interesting.
