Hi!
I built my current system a few years ago. In between builds, I lose track of the technology advances. I'd like to upgrade my current system to handle video editing a little better. My first thought was that I simply needed a more robust GPU than the GeForce 6800XT. As I read forums, I'm starting to see that the CPU actually handles more rendering than the GPU. So maybe I need a new MB/CPU as well?
Here's my current system:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.80GHz
MB: Gigabyte MB GA-EP45T-UD3P
GPU: NVidea GeForce 6800XT (512MB Ram)
Ram: 4GB DDR3 1333MHz
3 Hard drives (no RAID), Great PSU, CPU fan, etc.
So, how much performance gain would the GPU provide or do I need to upgrade the MB/CPU (and RAM)?
Appreciate your help!!
