for C= UDA raytracing in AE its mostly about how many cores and their speed and th= en how much VRAM.
The desktop cards have performed as good as the= quadro in that regard

640 / 650/ & 660 have 384 cores

675 has 960

680 has 1536

They are probably are all underclocked compared to their desktop conu= terparts

the retina macbook GT650M was a touch faster than a 12 = core macpro with the Quadro 4800 (the slowest of the supported cards)=A0bot= h about an hour to render the scene
Without a CUDA card the 12 co= re macpro take close to 7 hours to render the same scene


In comparison a GTX670 (also Kepler base= d) with 1344 cores, 3.5X more than the GT 650M, rendered the same scene abo= ut 3.5X faster (this was in a 2008 macpro)

not exa= ctly apples to apples but the higher end cards should perform pretty well, = with the base cards at least making raytracing usable.

The 650M is already supported in teh latest 11.0.2 update because of the= MBP Retina thing. The otehrs may work by hacking the text file.
