Buying Premiere Pro CS5, but have ATI 5870
Hello,
I’m planning to get Adobe Production Premium bundle using a faculty discount soon so I can update my Photoshop and get Premiere Pro at the same time. I plan to take HD movies using my DSLR and I want to learn Premiere Pro. However, my GPU is an ATI 5870 and it’s not one of the supported graphic cards. Unfortunately, I just built my current PC and don’t plan to upgrade its hardware now. What sort of performance penalty will I get using a 5870? Is it even recommended that I use Premiere Pro with an ATI card?
Here are the specs for my PC:
Intel Core i7 960
Asus Rampage II Extreme
ATI 5870 1GB
6GB of RAM
3 HDs (more can be added for PPro)Thanks in advance!

You won’t get the CUDA processing features of the Mercury Playback Engine.
There are details of what is improved and accelerated by CUDA processing on this page, including the comments at the bottom.

I use PPro CS5 regularly with the HD5870 on my Asus G73jh laptop, no problems, no unexpected delays. Sure, it doesn’t support the mercury playback thing, but that has not been a problem for me. I’d be very surprised if your rig didn’t do just fine.
