Yes it does, or at least it can; it's v11, so graphics acceleration is available, for both CUDA and OpenCL it does acceleration. But . . . I actually don't know whether my excellent rendering results are already incorporating the acceleration from the GPU, or if it's from CPU only. I didn't do anything to the settings in Vegas to make it use GPU. I'm not on that machine right now so I can't check if there is a setting for it in the menu or if its automatically going to accelerate simply by being installed.

Haswell is great I think mostly in terms of power, but only about a 10% performance boost over Ivy Bridge, but I was building new, so I decide to wait until it came out since I wasn't going with a 6-core. I'll probably do that for my next build.

570 has been around a while but only has 480 cuda cores; you'd get double that with a 660.

The new Intel Haswell cpu's have shown great results in the editing test, but the quality wasent as good.

So far I still get the best result with my 570 series Geforce

I have a 240gb SSD for OS and two 160GB in raid 0 for editing.
For "nearline storage, I have two internal Western Digital Green series disk in a Raid1.

For storage and backup, I have a synology NAS to be safe
