Building workstation for video editing only. Run a lot of programs accelerated by the GPU. - like After effects, photoshop, premiere, and others...
My hardest choice is what GPU to get. They are all marketed towards gaming so i don't know what is best or practical for real work like im doing. I mean if i spend the extra money on a better card over the mainstream 9800 GT or ATI 4830 will it matter so much for what im doing?
Mainstream Cards im considering;
ATI RADION 4870
nVidia GeForce 9800GT
High end cards im considering ( BUT ONLY IF THERE WORTH IT ? )
ATI RADION 4870 x2 = too expensive - not really considering it.
ATI RADION 4850 x2
nVidia GeForce GTX 280
QUESTION: Does Crossfire or SLI make help for my purposes in video editing / motion graphics accelerated tasks?
Does the 4850 x2 make much a difference for my purposes?
I did search this but No one has brought this topic up in the last 2 months so im curious whats changed as of now. Dec-15-08
