VIDEO: Adobe introduces GPU acceleration to Creative Suite 4

The article says that Photoshop should benefit regardless of whether you have ATI or NVidia. The Premiere Pro features, on the other hand, appear to only be realized by the Quadro series. Can anyone verify this?

I've just pre ordered my copy of CS4. This update looks well worth it. There's also a special offer for anyone that also buys Lightroom 2 (I think it was 30% discount), just in case anyone is interested.

I wouldn't say that just because ATi have 2 4870 sandwiched together that Nvidia don't have it anymore. The GTX260 and the GTX280 are STILL better cards than the 4850 and 4870 and prices are coming down. In newer demanding games they run better adding futureproofing instead of ATi's quick fix method. I'm not saying that the ATi's cards are bad cards but unfortunately they have to sell the quick fix to make some money due to them really being on the bones of their ass financially.

nvidia gpu's arent major or spectacular anymore in comparison to AMD, it shows these guys are going that one step further and helping us use our £200+ graphics cards in more and more meaningful ways :)

as an avid PS user I was interested when you first reported this was happening, and the results so far look promising. I hate to favour one company over another, but nVidia really do seem to be more progressive in the goals for GPU use, and tbh, physx and cuda is the only reason I currnetly lean towards the green choice for my gpu preferrence.
