Adobe Premiere Pro CC - Does it utilise GPU horsepower?

[lolage]

I'm in two minds on if to get a new GPU for editing.

Here's my current spec.

Intel i7 2600k @ 3.8GHz
Corsair Vengeance 16gb @ 1.5V
Radeon HD5770
Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
Corsair HX520
120GB SSD
2x 64GB SSD
3TB/500GB/500GB HDD

I'm thinking about getting a GTX970 as I do colour grading, and feel my current graphics card lets me down..! Is it worth me upgrading? I can't really see any other part of my pc letting me down?

Thanks!

It does use the gpu but the 970 isn't on the list of supported cards;

But would that matter as long as it supports the CUDA api?

I don't know honestly.

Logically no it wouldn't but I bet you wouldn't get any form of support if it doesn't work as its not on the list.

Could be the case they just haven't updated that page.

it shouldn't but it can do. I've seen in 3ds max delay supporting new cuda versions, there was a delay with kepler and maxwell (not sure if they even support this yet).

If adobe cc supports 750 (maxwell gpu's) then in theory it should work with the 970 too... Looking at the list it doesn't so I'd say you need to wait on an update to a newer version of cuda.

It might be worth asking on the adobe forums, they'll know more
