Just wondering what your thoughts are on which video card is best for editing. I have a RX 860 and want to upgrade for editing. I am also curious about which cards are best for running two monitors. Thanks guys.

Which Card? | ||

I have the same machine and I got the ATI Radeon 8500 because it had the best rating for this. So far?? It was an excellent buy...I don't know about the dual monitor, I think you have to go up one for that, but I'd highly suggest this card. It's highly stable thus far and a good bargain for the money...

The 8500 is a good card, but I think it's been all but discontinued and replaced by the 9100.
I use the 9100 for editing (2D and 3D) and it's nearly flawless. Crucial.com sells a 9100 with 128Mb DDR for about $80 - and it's an awesome card. I don't think the 9100 is listed on their site any longer, but if you call or email them I'm sure they would be willing to sell you one. Also - ATI was auctioning a bunch of video cards on Yahoo! Auctions for some VERY good prices. Go to ATI's site and look for their 'Auction Madness' link. Happy hunting. |

if you don't have a spending budget look into getting a Raedon 9800 0r 9800 pro. they are dual monitor capable and also feature a tv out for making your tv the monitor. cost's round 250 - 400 depending on where you go.
i've got the 9800 in mine and it's awesome. yet to use the tv out feature yet though or the dual monitor thingy. |

Is there much difference in quality between an actual ATI or one like this Sapphire that uses ATI chipset: www.newegg.com/app/ViewPr...=4530,3668 This seems to be getting good reviews, any thoughts?
