CS6 – worth the update since I don’t have a NVIDIA graphics card?
Posted by Olly Lawer on May 24, 2012 at 12:01 pmI have a AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB which I understand may be slow with AE6 as based on NVIDIA graphics card.

The only thing NVIDIA does in AE CS6 is accelerate the new 3D ray tracing renderer. The Classic 3D renderer still runs entirely on the CPU.
I think the new global performance cache in CS6 is a huge leap forward for performance.
