Great in After Effects

I do motion graphics and animation for a living. I was hesitant to upgrade to CS6 (adobe creative cloud) because of hardware acceleration. My old computer couldn't handle most of the new features too well. With this new card, the 3D ray tracing is actually doable. Maybe not anything near quadro speeds, but it's fast enough to do work with it if you want to that kind of stuff. It also helps with render times in Premiere, accelerates a lot of features in Photoshop. Basically it makes life smoother and faster. For the price, which is more middle of the road in my opinion, it's a really great card. You should also know that I run all my apps on an SSD, cache everything on a separate drive, have 32gb of 1600mhz HyperX RAM, and an Intel I7 3930K (6 core, 3.2ghz, 3rd gen).
