mdxn17 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Whats the best but in the price range though $150 - $300. I was looking for a quadro video card but most recommended Quadro 1700 but would the NVIDIA Quadro FX 570 be good to, or anything slightly better than it Edited November 12, 2008 by mdxn17 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scr4wl Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 What kind of editing are you looking to do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 are you talking about 3d rendering or video editing? because video editing is more cpu based Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scr4wl Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Plus if you do want to do the 3d rendering you might want a newer quadro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Plus if you do want to do the 3d rendering you might want a newer quadro aren't quadros really pricey, I'd look into one of those geforce ---> quadro soft mods. or just run a geforce/radeon (unless you need to run the specialized rendering enhancing drivers) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdxn17 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) yeah, I was looking for a more video editing based fast rendering. Idk if it has to do with the Video Card or a CPU. I was gonna get the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 and might OC it if needed. I'm using it for Adobe Programs such as After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop CS3 Yeah quadros are pricey, I don't know if they make video cards for just video editing and some for gamming pc's like GForce etc. Thats why im so confused on what to get for basic 3d stuff but alot of 2d video editing with High Definition footage.

That's a CPU related stress and the more cores the better. The Q6600 will suit you just fine, if you have some extra money I'd get a Q9550 but if you're on a tight budget the Q6600 is no slouch. Video card really only has to do with gaming and 3d modeling/rendering. But all the programs you listed are both CPU and memory intensive (especially after effects, I've gotten close to 100% memory utilization before while rendering my project). I'm sure Premiere Pro is similar to after effects (high memory/CPU usage), and photoshop is mainly just memory intensive.

Yea, that 100% thing happened to me too. http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/opengl.html On here it talks about what the minimum requirements would be. So I would most likely need a card that supports their OpenGL? I already have sapphire HD 3850 graphics card.

That's still a good card Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
