  graphic card for after effects

  Posted by Alfred Hermosa hernández on July 28, 2007 at 12:12 pm

  Hello,

  I have a question to ask. I have heard that those graphic cards for games are better for work in after effects than a video card. It’s that correct?

  I explain my situation. I want to buy a new video/graphic card for my computer to work better and faster with after effects but I can’t decide which one to choose (video/graphic). I need the card to works with lights and some 3D effects, objects and movements.
  I know that a video card it’s good for working with non-linear editing systems like Premiere Pro, etc. but it’s still useful for postproduction works?

  I have been searching a post that answer my question but I couldn’t find it. If it’s a repeated post I want to apologise. If there’s a post talking about that please can you indicate which one?

  Thanks a lot for the information!!

  Good gaming cards are not necessarily good rendering cards for After Effects. Visit the Adobe site and look at the list of recommended video cards.

  Among the most popular (but the not the least expensive) are the Quadro Pro cards (nVidia).
