I have an AMD 7970 and Adobe Premiere CS5.5 and Photoshop CS5 and am thinking of upgrading to CS6 versions of both. I just want to know a few things. First of all is the gfx 7970 formally supported and used in CS6 via opencl? Secondly are there any benchmarks for CS6 that show it's improvement using OpenCL?

If there are no realistic differences in performance then I'll stick to CS5 and sod the upgrade.

According to Adobe, no AMD cards are supported for Premiere 6 in Windows for now. Only on Macs. A dev posted in a forum that future updates are planned for OpenCL in Windows environment. I would wait for at least a few updates before upgrading any new version of Adobe apps anyway.

OOps, sorry OP, i thought I read the other day openCL\GL was supported for AMD cards, guess AMD were jumping the gun a wee bit!
