  premiere pro 5.0 what graphics card will work best

  Posted by Ben Godfrey on July 21, 2011 at 10:35 pm

  Hi guys

  Just a few questions..

  Don’t know much about graphics cards and was wondering if i would get better performance out PP5.0.3, AE and PS with a new card or if i up it to 12GB of ram? i work with a bunch of different formats and codecs.

  I edit on a

  imac 2.66 GHZ intel core i5
  8GB ram
  ATI Radeon HD 4850

  I’m a bit of a rookie at the technical side of things but like my system to run as smooth as it can.

  Any help would be much appreciated as i am very keen to learn.

  Sorry if this topic has been covered couldn’t really find what i was looking for.

  Cheers
  Ben

  I don’t think you can swap out the graphics card in an iMac. Think you’ll have to stick with the ATI card.

  2nd that – but the memory upgrade sounds like a plan.
