Something a lot of people don't know is that the vast majority of Video Editing programs don't use a video card's GPU for processing.

But with nVidia's CUDA and AMD/ATI's Stream technology, this, at long last, is looking to change. Michael J Miller from PCMag.com explains a bit more about GPU Computing.
