Thanks for you comments T....

"Runs like stubborn mule" means that everything responds slowly. I do a lot of videos (but I'm careful to use Event Manager X to only have a couple active at a time) which require lots of text overlays and basic motion graphics. To put text into a text effect, for example, is far from 'buttery smooth'. Every click or text entry gets a delayed reaction. Clicking on the horizontal position number and scrubbing left or right results, most of the time, in nothing happening for a couple of seconds and then the graphic starts jumping to catch up. Once in a while the movement might be smooth but that's the exception.

Sometimes I play the video and it won't stop. FCPX becomes unresponsive and I have to force quit it.

Maybe I should switch to an ATI card. As I said in my earlier post I keep my Mac Pro updated and I've rebuilt the boot drive from the ground up to avoid the Migration Assistant bring old crap into the new system.

This is an 8-core Mac Pro 3,1 with 10GB of RAM. Latest OS. Latest FCPX and Motion 5.

Do ATI cards accelerate FCPX or Motion 5?
