@blackbonexxx That's overkill lol, I only have two cheap 4770s xfired together and 4 gigs ram. though yeah, I noticed significant improvements on images that are around 12mp up.

@kkjgg112391 well I now have a gtx 460 and 6gb of ram..but before I had a 8800gtx and 2gb of ram and it ran pretty well too but I noticed a huge difference from cs3 from cs4/5 in higher resolutions like 2000 or 3000 px I'm not saying that it doesnt work..I'm saying its slower and it doesnt take full advantages of the gpu xD but yes it has some heavier features so its normal...

@blackbonexxx That depends on what GPU you use or speed of your RAM can give significant advantages.
I use a laptop with 9600GTM, it's not bad. though, cs5 is not much different from the rest. Just the brush stuffs... more marketing hype actually, that's true.

@kkjgg112391 actually I work with cs5 and its so much slower than cs3... I paint and I can tell the difference...thats true gpu just works for zooming and scrooling...it has a great potential but they really need to perfect it for some other tasks..

@mrjustin5 Hello justin. actually the gpu acceleration works very well. why not try it for urself. as long as the card supports openGL and it has atleast 128mb of video memory... gpu or openGL acceleration can be activated. i works so well with mine.

Great!! Time is important.
I have been using PHOTOSHOP since 1994 (Version 3.0). This GPU acceleration is marketing nonsense.
Other than using interpolation/filtering for zooming in and out of a picture - GPU acceleration adds NO TANGIBLE BENEFITS yet. All this is hype and a marketing gimmick.
Adobe should have added filtering when rescaling images a long time ago. Instead now you need a particular video card and the latest version of the software to get that feature.
What garbage. I want faster software.
