Which Is best graphic card for Video editing ATI Or NVIDIA ?

My Pc configration. motherboard P5KVM, Core2 Quad 2.4ghz, 2 gb ram 800mhz, 550 wt supply, 2 TB HDD 7200 rpm. plz suggest me which is best latest graphic card for video editing & why ?|||the video card used to have little to do with it.

most editors only use the fancy features to

allow REALTIME effect like transitions.



in other words you drop in a transition and you can preview immediately

without clicking the render button to make the video.



any good 2d card will be great, but.....



there are now a few editors that can make use of the GPU more aggresively



some editors that wont work properly

without a GPU with directX11 support as they may force the system to

utilise the GPU. This is because we are moving towards everything being HDMI

and Blu-Ray and DisplayPort. These features are Naturally already supported

in the Newer Graphics cards which now have more and more features

built in. And this is DRIVEN by the VIDEO format you are CAPTURING

and RENDERING



so the GPU does matter if you are right up to date with latest video content.

and you have paid for the latest video editor capable of utilising the content

features. 3D being the most obvious example.



so the best card is only best if it supports the newest features. it is not

best by being more powerful.|||Get the GeForce GTX 580. It's currently the best.:

I suggest you take a look at some lower-end professional-grade graphics cards, i.e. nVIDIA Quadro or ATI FireGL. They may offer more output features and accuracy, etc.
