MP is off for current versions, that is correct.

Running a GTX570 which is a pretty fast card
http://www.loopoutcontinue.com/2012/08/benchmarking-cuda-performance-in-after-effects-cs6/

I havent done any tests as far as if there is any improvement over CPU only
on a basic comp.
If you are wondering if it would be faster to render a comp on the GPU in 6
vs 55 my guess would be no

You also lose some features when you switch to raytrace that may affect
yoru comp
