Hello
i need a new video card for my system that is quite cheap and old, but i think that now the videocard is a big bottleneck, especially after the latest updates of Adobe Camera Raw CC that made it so slow to apply settings and move sliders..

I have a Phenom II X6 1055T with 16Gb ram and Samsung PRO256gb, and a crap Nvidia GeForce GT430 video card

Do you think i will get benefits by buying a GTX960 card?

My primary application is Photoshop, Camera raw, sometimes Lightroom, and sometimes Premiere

Camera raw is now very slow in applying the modifications, switching between the images, and so..

Thanks for your help!

You need more ram if you are working with large images IMO and maybe an SSD cache drive. I recently upgraded my AMD P2 x6 system to an intel x6 and the performance gain was fantastic; if you are thinking along those lines then wait no more.

GPU will only help in cases were GPU acceleration is available but please check and make sure the programs are set to use it. Its under Performance in CamerRaw (don't enable it if it says it was disabled due to an error) for example.
