Re: Help Me Spec a Laptop for My Wife The GPU helps speed up rendering in CS4/5 (and I'm sure 6): »helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/gpu···d_OpenGL
Lightroom (the popular RAW image library and editor) is NOT GPU accelerated: »forums.adobe.com/message/4171699
Most modern video renderers help offload work to the GPU as well - I forget what the technology is called but some 3-4 year old PowerDirector software I have makes use of the GPU and speeds up rendering 10-15%.

kudos:7 | Does the fact that there's a discrete GPU mean most of the performance boost, or would a GTX 680M provide significantly more computing muscle than, say, a more modest GT 650M?

kudos:7 | Both are discrete, one is a top-end gaming GPU, the other is a middle-of-the-road, all-purpose GPU. |

kudos:6 | Ah, yes.
I have no idea what the answer is. I imagine the most performance benefit comes from having something to offload to and there are diminishing returns on the performance of said GPU.
Caveat: I don't know about this, I am just guessing.
