Is it better to go with Nvidia or AMD for photoshop?

Now if your doing it all day long for a living, perhaps those few seconds a faster card would give you is worth the extra investment. But for the average joe that extra speed isnt gonna get noticed.

This is a good keypoint. Esp that if you want to stay at the cutting edge of PS technology you will find any "Best Of" GPU quickly moved down the list as new versions get released of both GPUs and PS.

Not really. CUDA is still more widely supported.


What can Premiere Pro CS6 process with OpenCL?
Everything that Premiere Pro CS6 can process with CUDA, with four exceptions:

• Fast Blur effect
• Gaussion Blur effect
• Directional Blur effect
• Basic 3D effect

Not to mention that only 2 AMD gpus are supported, or that you NEED Mac OS for OpenCL acc.

In other words, you run more with CUDA than OpenCL with CS6!....
