Hello everyone,
My knowledge of videocards is very limited. I've been using my integrated graphics, but Sony Vegas needs some help. I'm looking for something in the $100 range. I've narrowed it down to the Nvidia 240 chipset. The two cards I'm looking at both have this chipset but one with 512mb of GDDR5 memory and one with 1GB GDDR3 memory. Which will benefit me greater? The faster memory or the larger amount of memory?
I'm editing 1080p AVHC video. Will be rendering down to NTSC DVD format. My system has 4GB RAM and an intell quad-core processor. 20" monitor at 1600X1200. No gaming, just video editing.
