I upgraded my graphics card to an ATI Radeon 5870. Does the Final Cut Pro X take advantage of this faster graphics processor?

In my experience, movie editing software gets a larger benefit from increased processing power (CPU) and RAM. However, a better graphics card will certainly make your life easier, no matter what. Final Cut Pro X is designed to at least run on the integrated graphics of the MacBook Air, as a result, with a graphics card like that, you're destined to get better performance.

Apple announced that with the next update for FCPX that it will make use of any unused GPU power for background rendering. Also XML support

"Users of Final Cut Pro X can now benefit by the use of the Cubix Xpander unit fitted with GPU graphic cards. Since the recent Final Cut Pro X 10.0.1 software update, GPU acceleration is now used to speed up foreground export functions. It's also important to note that this new update also includes XML support which allows you to import and export your Final Cut Pro project with DaVinci Resolve."
