I have a Powercolor 5770 and I need to replace it. The store is giving me a credit for another video card. I have not been happy with ATI/AMD chipsets. I dont do any gaming and I have an i7 930 6GB RAM and a 700 Watt Coolermaster PSU.

I dont do any gaming just video editing and movie watching so playing games is not something I tend to do. I have on order which I can cancel, an ASUS GeForce 450 GTS 810MHZ 1GB 3608MHZ GDDR5 DVI HDMI PCI-E Video Card. Is this a suitable replacment card?

Thanks

yes it is suitable. However, if you are not interested in gaming, you can get identical performance from something even cheaper, like a geforce 220. in fact you might even get enough performance out of the integrated graphics on your motherboard.
