    Hey John-

    I mentioned in my top post that it made a HUGE difference. I was coming from an 8800GT which just wouldn’t cut it (sorry for the pun). I am on a Mac Pro 3,1 (2008 edition). So, my choices are a bit limited.

    I was cutting a multicam project with 4 cameras and it just works. With my Kona 3, I now get solid broadcast monitoring. Sometimes there are little hiccups, but I haven’t been able to cut a project from scratch with it. Overall, very happy, and I think it was the best option for me, given that Premiere now supports OpenCL (which I hacked to get it to work).

    The one thing this proves to me is that newer, faster, better, is the answer for GPU gear with FCPX.

    Hope that helps.
