Anyone use Vegas 11 with this enabled yet? If so, what card you have?

Trying to get a card that won't break the bank for a little extra UMPH on my ailing system...

https://www.custcenter.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5062 is a link to some Sony Knowledgebase articles that will hopefully help you make up your mind.
The Pro 11 site at http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro/gpuacceleration also goes into some detail on this.

As you can see according to the benchmarks on their site, GTX 570 (480 cores) is a fair bit (~20% avg) faster than Quadro 5000 (352 cores). Of course this is not the only relevant metric - you also have to account for clock speeds, memory bandwidth etc.
