Render Times in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
If your computer has a CUDA-enabled NVIDIA graphics card or chip installed, it can take advantage of a qualified GPU to greatly accelerate a number of functions - up to eight times that of high end multi core CPUs, according to NVIDIA. Functions that are accelerated include a growing list of effects and transitions, scaling, including different pixel aspect ratios, deinterlacing, frame rate differences, blending modes, color space conversions, and alpha channel interpretation.
This has a direct impact on the number and size of streams of video that may be played back in real time. It also affects rendering time of your final output.
For example, NVIDIA performed a test using a timeline consisting of six layers of video with Tint effects, 3-way color correction, Gaussian blurs, the Ultra keyer, text layers, and layer blend effects. This was rendered for H.264 BluRay output with MRQ (Maximum Render Quality) enabled.
