This will be mainly for video editing and i have about £120 to spend on it? any suggestions??? steev 21-03-2006, 10:35 If you can squeeze another £30 for the budget than I'd go for one of these (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=17405293159&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=106253), otherwise I'd consider this (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=17405356976&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=101827). Both good middle range boards, I think the Nvidia one would give you a bit more power. sheffieldism 21-03-2006, 10:51 cheers for that, how about this one? http://uk.insight.com/apps/productpresentation/index.php?product_id=XFXOA04MEN steev 21-03-2006, 11:49 The bog-standard 6600's are a bit wussy, you'd be better off with a 256MB 6600GT if you can find one for a similar price. Or I think, for around that price, that this (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=17408130292&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=101478) would whoop it. rich951 21-03-2006, 16:53 If it's mainly for video editing, what exactly are you doing? If you're not using any input or output hardware, do you actually need more than a run of the mill £20-30 card? sheffieldism 22-03-2006, 07:41 mainly for video editing and the user of AE - but at times i will play games so i wanted a decent card that would enable me to do both. karl101 22-03-2006, 17:41 The A8N is an PCI Express board. The Sapphire ATI X1600 is good http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=3YJS Any X1000 series card will do speedy video encoding http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/video/avivo_1.html K. |
