I have a GTX 570 from Macvidcards (look on ebay). It works great! It’s not an officially supported card from Adobe but there is an easy tweak to make it work.

Gain raises or lowers the overall level/loudness of the audio. You then fine tune/mix with the levels control which can also be keyframed. Look at your waveform in the timeline. Next adjust the gain of a clip and watch waveforms adjust.

Use audio gain to bring the overall level up. Select the clip and right click on it. Select audio gain. There you can adjust the gain. I created a keyboard shortcut to bring up this window which makes things quicker.

I purchased a GTX 570 from his ebay store. The card works great.

For CS6.5 I would love for Adobe to skip adding new wiz-bang features and just concentrate on really refining the program.

You can’t, yet. I’ve seen other people post about this annoyance and the Adobe people have responded that they aware of the issue and agree that there should be a way to turn it off. So I would predict it will be addressed in a update. Hopefully soon.

I just installed the Nividia GTX 570 from Macvidcards and it works wonderfully. You have to add it to the list of approved cards which is easy. CUDA makes a huge difference in real time performance and encoding.

Wanted to report back with my decision and results. I decided on the GTX 570 from Macvidcards. Purchasing from Macvidcards was great. Fast shipping and detailed instructions for installation. The card itself works as advertised. It shows the Mac boot screen and has been stable and trouble free running the latest Quadro drivers.
Premiere is like a new application with CUDA. It’s fast and responsive. I work mostly with native AVCHD material and it seems to shuttle better. This may be my imagination because I’ve read that CUDA does nothing for this but it definitely feels like an improvement. Still not as smooth as shuttling a ProRes source but usable.
CUDA really starts to shine in the timeline when you add filters. No red all yellow. You’ve got to work hard to break the realtime playback. And the biggest improvement and the best reason to add a CUDA card in my opinion is the drastic improvement in export times. Encoding to MPEG4/h264 flies. Very happy with the decision to add the GTX 570 to my 2009 Octo-Core Mac.

Michael, make sure you are not looking at your user/library. It’s the OS level library directory. So if you are using CS5.5 the directory path would be:
library/application support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS5.5/MediaCore

Michael, finding the plugins folder is not as easy as it was in FCP7. Drag the unzipped file into the following directory: library/application support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS6/MediaCore
