BEST VIDEO CARD FOR A MULTIMEDIA ARTIST

hello once again guys! just doin some finalization of my specs that i'm going to buy for my multimedia applications purposes.. I nid some feed backs from the masters like you.

I'm down to 3 video cards

1.) Inno3D 8800GT 512ddr3 dvi 256bit
2.)PC HD3870 512ddr4 256bit dvi PCS
3.) Quadro FX 570

If i were you what would you choose?please arrange them as 1 being the highest and 3 as the lowest of all

Ex:
1.) Inno3D 8800GT 512ddr3 dvi 256bit (highest favorable)
2.)PC HD3870 512ddr4 256bit dvi PCS
3.) Quadro FX 570 (lowest favorable)

====================================================
What would be a good second option card other than the 3 above if im on a budget and would be using the card for multimedia purpose? (adobe after effects, photoshop, maya, 3ds max, flash) retailers here in the philippines are limited =(

In term of performance, 8800gt is highest, 3870 middle, and fx570 by far the lowest.

You don't really need a card as good as 8800gt. A 3650 or 8600, at around $50, should do fine.

I'm curious about this myself. If I am trying to accelerate the time it takes to render 3-D objects in programs like Maya or Illustrator, what should I be looking for in a video card?

or another, better card...under $600
