Premiere Pro CS6 lets you choose either CUDA or OpenCL. Conversely, the CPU of the Mac Pro with the AMD GPU was running at full tilt (1200%) while the RadeonHD 5870 was "taking a coffee break" - since it does not have CUDA support (proprietary to NVIDIA).Īdobe does, however, "toss a bone" to AMD by using OpenCL acceleration instead of CUDA in Photoshop CS6. This is due to the fact that the ray-traced 3D animation was made of solids with no external media or textures. The CPU was loafing along while the NVIDIA CUDA "aware" GPU was doing all the heavy lifting. The actual render time is likely much longer since the last few frames add 'killers' like motion blur and depth of field. We stopped the render after 5 hours and added AE's estimated remaining time. I say "at least" because the times in the graph are an optimistic guesstimate. Our 6-core Mac Pro with Quadro 4000 was at least 10 times faster than the same Mac Pro with the Radeon HD 5870. That's because the ray-traced 3D render option requires CUDA support.
