So I do a lot of work in programs like Photoshop and After Effects, and I do 3D modeling/animation in Cinema 4D. Right now, I have a 6850 and it's fine for gaming, but it's just barely acceptable in my opinion for playback in those programs. It lags a lot and frequently says "not responding". I know it's my graphics card as I have an i7-2600k and 16 gigs of ram. So with this is mind which card should I get? Should I get a workstation or regular desktop card? Also I don't have a preference on AMD or Nvidia as none of the programs benefit from CUDA. The graphic design and 3d work comes first; gaming comes second. And yes I realize this won't benefit my render times; those are fine, I just want smoother & quicker playback.
Here's the card I had in mind: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127615
