    Does any one know if the imac will be upgraded with USB C ports?

    I feel I am in the middle of a tech. battle. Apple used to have NVIDIA graphics in them. Premier and after effects require NVIDIA for acceleration.
    I had a mac for 8 years then got A Dell Precision 3800 because of the stats, but I just cant do without mac os X and wont to use begrudged FCx due to that it is owned not rented, and yes its simplicity for the time being. If I do chose to use after effectas or Premier would I need NVIDIA? Does any one know if there is a way to get a new i mac with NVIDIA or if we can use Cuda software on open GL?

    Adobe has changed their proprietary NVIDIA CUDA ways and now also supports OpenCL which is supported by both AMD and NVIDIA so there is no longer a need for a proprietary CUDA card anymore. Get a new iMac with an AMD graphics card and enjoy FCP X.
