ok, I want (but don't necessarily need) a graphics card in my system that's being dusted off. it's an A6-3650 that i'll overclock a bit. now it has only 4G ram but i'll probably swap it out for 8-16G. but should I grab a (USED! most likely from Canadian eBay) Firepro type card or a gaming Radeon?
i'll use this box for screwing around with photo editing, might get into video editing just for my own self. it won't be used for gaming (or if it does, it'll be a totally secondary thing). I might even decide to learn some CAD on there (but free/cheap CAD, like that Google SketchUp or similar)
my budget is a penny. ok, not really, but "the lower the better", like $100 or so. hence used. how do I even compare the "beef" of a Firepro to a Radeon? do I trust the Passmark G3D scores from videocardbenchmark.net or are those too biased to gaming?
