I know that it would be better to buy something else, but I have option beetwen 512MB ATI MSI RX2600XT PCX DDR3
and ATI X1950pro to choice from...
Im doing some heavy video editing and if you guys can help me a little bit , to make up my mind...?
Whats the better choice?
I have experience editing with Premiere Pro, Pinnacle9, 10, 10.5, MyDVD, Video Studio 9.0 & Windows MMK. Here is my recommendations:
1. Any 256 card should be fine. NO Turbocache or Hypermemory. Either of the two you mentioned are overkill. Get a cheaper 256 card unless you have a high-res (over 1280x1024) monitor.
2. Max out your RAM. If you run a 32bit OS, you are limited to 4GB. Every MB makes a difference!
3. Shoot for a three HD setup: 1 OS drive. 1 Scatch disk Drive. 1 Data drive. Having a RAID 0 setup for the Data is even better.
4. If you aren't dual core, get that way ASAP! Quad is even better. The latest versions of each software suite I mentioned can utilize multicore CPUs.
