hi all,
i edit my own short films and some commercial stuff, shot mostly with dv/dvcam, and just now starting to get into HD, and i do this through FCP Studio on a PowerMac Quad that came with the stock nVidea GeForce 6600...
question is: is the $800 upgrade for the Geforce 7800GT video card worth the investment...
the only graphics i do is a minimal amount in Motion, may purchase Shake and AE soon for minimal special effects, but don't plan on doing any 3D stuff and i'm not a gamer...
so will there be a boost in performance or quality in my editing, will i be able to stream more HD simultaneously, or is this card mostly for the gamers and the 3D artists?
thanks,
Lonnie
