The render times = were about 55 minutes a frame, for a 640x360 comp with a quality of = about 8.  It took a few days of rendering just to generate the 5 = second 3D animation. 
It's just too painful to consider = using the ray tracer without an approved card...

you just have to add the 670 to the =  raytracer_supported_cards.txt

On OSX you have = to =93show package contents=94  of the AE app and then navigate to = =93Support Files=94 folder

Then add GeForce GTX = 670

My personal experience is that even with a Quadro 4000 for Mac, raytrace = rendering in Ae is unusably slow.  YMMV.

I bought the card = for Pr, where it kicks some serious = ass.
