Video Card Acceleration?

I heard that with certain graphic effects in Premiere Pro, you can make them load faster with a better GPU. We'll, i bought a Nvidia 7800GTX so that "Magic bullet" would render in real time. I tried it in premiere pro and i am dissapointed to say that i have seen no change. I went to the option that said "Accelerated GPU effects" and it didn't do anything to help the magic bullet effects.

If anyone knows what option i didn't select or whatever it is that i am missing,
please let me know.

Thanks!

Not all the effects will be real time, some presets with a lot of diffusion and heavier grading will still be render hogs. But I found the render times significantly shorter. Before I got my 7900gt, I remember waiting 20 minutes to render under a minute of footage. Now it's a little over a minute, depending on the effects.
 
[SIZE=+0]I totaly agree, I have a 7800 GTX and run Magic Bullet and it is not realtime and it takes forever to render footage.[/SIZE]

and you know this how?

PPRo brought in the option GPU Accelerated as a playback setting and I changed cards for this reason. I did not do any formal tests but was aware of a degree of performance again (that I am unable to quantify in anyway).

I recall there was even documentation also stating that the new release was more GPU enabled.
 
Version 2.0 of Magic Bullet Editor will allow you to use GPU to get real time performance (on low quality playback setting) but version 1.5 won't. As to other performance aspect I think Premiere is more CPU than GPU dependent so don't expect to see a leap and bound increase with a new card.

So I was correct in Saying that Premiere Pro is Almost all CPU?
 
I think that most NLE and graphic programs like AE depends more on hard drive configuration, CPU and RAM to a lesser extent than GPU, at least for now.
