Video Cards

Sorry that search is not available for this one...

I am building a PC for use with Arcview, Photoshop, Golive and Premiere. At this point I have it boilded down to two cards, nvidea Geforce 4 900XGL and Geforce 4 750 XGL. The price difference is about a hundred bucks. I am wondering if professional PS7 users have experience with these cards and what opinions are out there.

Other comperable cards you would suggest i look at?

Thanks,

Bob

Fact of the matter is that no videocard really holds an edge in Photoshop. All the memory is so fast these days, no single card has memory that would be "slow" in 2D. Visual quality is another matter of course, and it is highly subjective. Some would say Matrox is a hair better than ATI, and ATI is a hair better than nVidia.

right, but premire may be a different story! check that forum to be sure, but even though ps doesn't give a hoot about video card performance (to any great extent) premire is a video hog, if i'm not mistaken.

since you're building make sure you get a mobo with 8x agp. (then get an 8x agp card to go with it!) i'm using the ati all-in-wonder 9700 pro, 128 meg 8x agp and loving it.
