Hello To all,
I'm upgrading to a new set up so far Im going with the
Asus p7p55d Deluxe mobo,,
Intel i7 860 (1156) 2.8
3gigs ram
windows xp pro
now i cant for the life of me decide on a Video Card ,I dont know if I should go with the
ATI RAdeon HD 5970 or the simpler 5870
or
go with the Nvidia Geforce GTX 295
What has me undecided is these are all cards for gaming , should I be looking at another line of cards within that budget ?, I know it is important to have a lot of power in a strong fast processor and all but as far as the video card , should a top of the line gaming card with all the on board Ram and GPU power do good enough?
or should I just worry about power in the the processor and get a decent video card?
I will be editing full on projects like documentaries and full length movies as well as music videos and I need to use at least 2 gigs just for Dynamic Ram Preview
it sucks xp only does 3 gigs of ram or is it 4?
Anyways I hope I been clear enough on my dilemma
thanks in advance,
