Do you think there will be a slight improvement of some sort? Another question though is it recommendable to get dual GPU over a single GPU? |
Forget the marketing crap the guy wrote above. A 5870 is probably two orders of magnitude faster than your 9400GT which is really the bottom end of graphic cards nowadays. Photoshop is a "static" program (you basically draw/change a picture, so all the gaming hype specs don't count). Unless you are really, really deep into graphics design, an 5870-type graphics card has more than enough power.
