I know, I know... I'm GPUs Master. I should not need to ask this.

But the question is, is the K620 certified by Adobe for CUDA acceleration in Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6? I know for sure it is for SolidWorks, since I have RealView and Ambient Occlusion on, but the Quadro K620 isn't listed on Adobe's website for acceleration. Yet when I rendered for both Pr CS6 and Ae CS6, it does a 468Mb job in >3 min!!! I am certain there has to be acceleration taking place. I'm certain.

But if it is accelerating, why would Adobe not list it?! I don't understand.
1) Are the programs getting acceleration?
2) If so, is it officially supported?
3) If so, why would Adobe not list it?

What matters is, or at least should matter is whether the GPU in question is "CUDA enabled" or not. Whether it is a Quadro, Tesla or GeForce shouldn't matter, unless Adobe has incorporated artificial blocks that only enable features for pro level cards like Dassault has done with SolidWorks and most likely also Catia.

The RealView and Ambient occlusion can be enabled on ordinary GeForce cards through a hack. I can't see why you would need a Quadro or Tesla card to use CUDA. The only difference between CUDA on a pro level Tesla card and a GeForce card that I know of is that there sometimes are more features on the pro cards and sometimes they have more cache and registers available. And of course perhaps better performance and VRAM with ECC parity... You can for example compare CUDA compute 3.7 vs other versions of CUDA compute, both higher and lower versions (the "3" means Kepler, "5" means Maxwell, and "2" means Fermi). Quadro cards are pretty much on par with GeForce in terms of CUDA compute features, only a few Tesla cards have more features (Such as the K80).

So you could firstly look at what versions of CUDA compute the Adobe products are built for. If they use special recursive algorithms, which I don't think they do, then CUDA compute 3.5 or higher is needed, otherwise you get a long way with 3.0 features.

Try running a program that monitors GPU utilization and run some computation with an Adobe product to see whether it uses the GPU.

I think same story for K620

Also check this one:
* Adobe® After Effects® CS6 renders ray-traced 3D images using your computer’s CPU, employing all of its physical cores. Additionally, it could also take advantage of NVIDIA OptiX™ for highly accelerated rendering (requires a supported NVIDIA GPU and with 1024+ MB of texture memory). For more information, visit this After Effects blog post. Download the After Effects CS6 (11.0.2) update to take advantage of these Kepler-class GPUs.

I think u need to upgrade to latest CC version and forget that K620 and get same priced GTX or if u will find case with full of money u can get higher tier Quadro

And if u really want answer for your question better will be to post on Adobe Forum, u will get more help there I think
