Hi
Following some very useful feedback in a previous thread, I'm reviewing my GPU options within a currently evolving spec (below) for a new power PC for photo and video editing etc.
Choices are:
768MB Nvidia GeForce GTX460 GDDR5 DX11
1GB Nvidia GeForce GTX460 GDDR5 DX11
1GB ATI Radeon HD5770 DX11
Grateful for opinions on which would be best for my non-gaming use. Would the 1GB Nvidia be overkill, and could I therefore save myself a few quid?
