On the other hand... I really wanted to get a Quadro for workstation. The thing is those things are pricey. I was thinking of going for a Quadro FX1800 just for starters then I'm thinking the gaming side goes crap.
Question: Do Nvidia gaming cards perform better than ATI gaming cards on stuffs like Video Editing, Photoshop(or any other stuffs in the same category) because of CUDA cores?
Since I'm starting out I'd be willing to sacrifice workstation side. But I'm not doing the same for gaming. :) So I'm trying to find the correct balance here. I would be really happy if the Photoshop OpenGL mode works smoothly while having an awesome gaming rig. Not 3D stuffs in photoshop but just fairly large scale works. On my pc right now it bothers me when the brush is sometimes delayed.... And I hate that kinda distraction. |
Before you go nutty and get a 400 dollar card.....what kinda cpu do you have if you dont have a beefy cpu well your going to bottle neck and 480 or a 5870. If you could post your full pc specs, id be willing to help you out. People that tell you what to get before asking psu amps on the 12v rails and cpu....ect IMO i wouldnt listen to them sry guys.
