adding graphic card to adobe list/will fcpx also play along?

[robfilms]

i am a newb when it comes to this arena.

i have an older mac pro (2008/8-core/3,1/gt8800/512) that i'm debating adding a graphic card and ssd for a boot drive.

i presently cut in fcp7 but am making the move to both fcpx and adobe cc when i finally upgrade to yosemite.

(this transition is my big end-of-the-year winter project)

i have read that adobe "prefers" nvidia graphic cards and there is a list of "approved" cards:

i have also read that is is "easy" to add a given card to the list and then have premiere pro see the nvidia card.

do i have the above correct?

here are examples of cards that i'm thinking of adding:

neither of these cards, evga nvidia gtx 650 or gtx 750, are on the adobe list but i understand they can be added.

will these cards works with adobe cc-specifically premiere pro?

lastly, will these cards also work with fcpx?

how do know if these will work with each platform other than web-based anecdotal references?

thanks in advance to those who care to add to the conversation.

be well.

I have a GTX 650 I use PC but I can confirm the 650 will work for premiere pro. I added it to the list and it dramatically increased my workflow and rendering. I went from rendering an 11 layer music video 3 and half to four minutes full of effects, color correction and grading, and transitions mattes ect in 1.5 hours to about 12 mins with h.264 mp4
