Best video card for photo editing

[Guest]

Hello,
I am just abotu to buy a new pc and wondering if an ATI Radeon™ HD 5450 1GB DDR3 will be more than enough for editing 5/6MB fotos using Nikon software and if either the ATI Radeon™ HD 5770 1 GB or Single 1.8GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 will be complete overkill. Please anyone, if you can help would be so very grateful.

A 5770 should be fine, you won't really need anything else so long as it's photo editing.

Photo editing is not demanding.i can edit my photo even with my onboard gpu.

Many thanks for your reply. Jayne

Thanks verymuch for your reply. Actually the Dell Inspiron 580 would be with a ATI Radeon™ HD 5450 1GB DDR3 graphics and if I got the Dell Studio XPS 8100 it would have either AATI Radeon™ HD 5770 DDR3 or an Single 1.8GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 for an extra 50€. I tend to always go overboard (given that I am not a techie I tend to think bigger, more expensive is best). Really appreciate your help. thanks, Jayne

The 5450 will be fine. With the money saved, get a bigger CPU.

Thanks so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. I think I will end up going for the 5450 as basic photo editing doesn't warrant such huge expense. Think I will end up with an i5 750 (2,66 GHz, 8 MB) Memoria DDR3 a doppio canale da 8.192 MB [4x2.048 MB]. thanks again for taking the time to reply. Jayne
