Greetings,

I can't figure out what video card I need. Here's my typical applications:

Lots of Photoshoping
Lots of Premiere Pro
Lots of After Effects
Lots of Illustrator
Lots of InDesign
Lots of video conversion
Lots of Surfing on the net
Lots of playing DVD movies
Lots of waveform editing of music
Lots of Youtube playback
Lots of word processing
Lots of Excel

NO gaming.
NO 3D rendering

What kind of video card do I need? Gaming or Workstation class?

Thanks.

Gaming cards are meant for speed, Workstation cards for precision. You should go check nVidia Quadro series, and see which model fits you best. Remember, the more you spend on a video card, the more performance you get out of it.

Thanks for the reply, Darkshark.

I checked out NVIDIA's website and it looks like workstation graphics is what I need for all the Adobe stuff I do.

quadro is best for your type of work but I'm not too much into that stuff as far as editing media goes, so I don't know which would be best.

Nvidia Drivers----AMD Drivers
