Rendering speedup results: On my machine, I rendered a 13 minutes 28 second playing-time stereoscopic 1080p project video into a 1.3 GB mpg4 output file in 1080p side-by-side half-width format. The rendering took 9 minutes 8 seconds using the OpenCL acceleration. With the acceleration turned off, the same video required 15 minutes 28 seconds to render.
The GeForce GT 440 has 96 CUDA cores. Other newer, more expensive, GPUs from nVidia have many more cores, which may speed the rendering even more.
What is your speedup when you use OpenCL versus when you turn it off? Please report your experience here and be sure to describe your system on which the comparison was made and the type of video format rendered. This would be useful information for people considering upgrading their hardware to speed up rendering.
