I know Vegas relies more on CPU horsepower than graphics card spec. That said, I am specing up a new PC based around a Core 2 Duo 6600. Motherboard can take a PCI Express x 16 card.
My quesion is.....what would you buy? Are there any benifits to getting a certain card i.e. HD playback/any Vegas applications/plug-ins gain any advantage by a better card....or......do I spend the money elsewhere and just get the cheapest PCI 16X card I can see?
I've built loads of systems. That said, graphics cards have always seemed such a numbers game to me. I have NO interest in games so I'm talking purely from a Vegas standpoint.
My only stipulation is dual DVI as I run dual screen.
