- 2008- Mac Pro 2.8ghz-8 Core, 10Gig Ram, Nvidia 8800GT Card, 2x 500Gig HD, 2x Dell 2408 Screens
Tuesday I will be purchasing a New Mac Pro. I will be using Final cut express and eventually moving up to final cut Studio. This machine will be used for video editing (HD) and photo's. Which is the best card to use? The choises are as follows: 1) NvidiaGeForce 8800 GT 512MB or the 2) ATI Radeon HD2600 XT 256MB card.
Should I double up on the ATI cards b/c it will give me 512 MB VRAM as oppese to 256MB of VRAM?
Will these appiclactions mentioned above work flawlessly with the ATI card? Its only $150.00 dollar diffference. Not a big deal. But I have read that the Nvidia card has given some people problems with their Macs. I'm not sure if they corrected the problem.
Thank you for your time.
