Absolute Best Graphics card for FCP?
I am wanting to know what is the best graphics card for FCP. Basically just which one will give me the best overall performance and smoothest playback. My only requirement is that I would like for it to have dual DVI support.
Follow up question…. would having 2 30″ displays hooked up slow down performance from having just one hooked up?

All speedtests I have seen shows that the geforce 7800 GT is an almost equal performer to the quadro. (In the PCI-e scenario)
Also you will not as of today see much performance enhancements in FCP with a “big and bad” GF card. Motion will see a significant perfrmance boost.
This might change at a later stage, though as it seems Apple plan to offload more and more of rendering and RT tasks to the GPU.
Check barefeats.com for comparisons, or do a google on the subject.
