NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac/PC – Mercury we have lift-off!!
For years we have been recommending NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics boards to our professional customers who demand the highest level of performance, reliability and stability. Quadro cards cost a bit more than your average gaming graphics card, but for professional content creators, the extra cost is often worth it. In a nut shell, many tech support issues we run into are graphics card related. While you may be able to save some bucks going with a gaming card, we feel confident that if you invest in a Quadro4000, you’ll be happy you did!

Note that you must have the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) update to use the CUDA acceleration features on the Quadro 4000 on Mac OS.
The Windows version was enabled by the previous update.
