Im looking to upgrade my pc for video ediiting, with i7 4790 as CPU
Is my AMD Radeon Hd 6770 good for video editing or should i change it ?

Well, in premier and Sony Vegas, Gpu loads are about 10% and cpu loads are 99%. Any these results are consistent with all the cards I have rendered with (gtx 980ti, gtx 970, 7970, 7950,6950).

... Yes, that video card is fine. Rendering is very cpu and ram heavy so unless you want to get a quadro or firepro card, gpus won't be very helpful in rendering.

Sorry, mate. 100% incorrect. :)

GPU rendering (and in some cases, editing) is multiple times faster than 'software rendering' on CPU cores.

What software will you be using? Vegas tends to favor Radeon GPUs ... with Premiere it really does not matter.

Either AMD or nVidia should work just dandy --- most output supports 2 video cards with near-perfect scaling (3 or more not as good scaling).

AMD tends to be a wee bit faster overall --- but nVidia can do a 3D ray-tracing effect in AE that is not currently supported by AMD.

Pre-Maxwell nVidia cards have 50% more CUDA cores and generally perform better than current Maxwell cards. AE 'software rendering' on i7 hyperthreads is not supported.

Well, in premier and Sony Vegas, Gpu loads are about 10% and cpu loads are 99%. Any these results are consistent with all the cards I have rendered with (gtx 980ti, gtx 970, 7970, 7950,6950).

You may have a setup or configuration issue --- Vegas XDCAM output via GPU compute is a low CPU overhead format and should perform 4- to 5X faster than software rendering only on the CPU.

Your 980ti in Vegas is roughly similar to the HD7870 or R9 270X --- the HD7950 should be about 10% faster though you may need a patch as some 7950s were buggy in Vegas GPU compute (search for it).

Premiere output should be even more impressive. GPU rendering should be 6x faster over 'software rendering' on the CPU ---- with a second card doubling that output speed.
