AE 6.5 graphics card
I am running AE 6.5 on an hp xw8000 with the NVIDIA Quadro4 980 XGL card. Currently this computer also has an Avid application on it as well as Photoshop CS. I might soon have the option of running this computer as an AE/Photoshop only computer.
What is the best card that will run on this computer with those applications?
Thanks

if you are only using ae6.5, i wouldn’t bother with using opengl for rendering or previews. ae6.5 doesn’t support enough opengl options, like anti-aliasing, motion blur and blending modes, to make it worth while. even upgrading to ae7, which will enable using opengl 2 features mentioned above, will only provide about a dozen opengl accelerated effects, and most people are happier with adaptive resoltion, and never use opengl.
if you do get a new card, make sure it is opengl 2.0. ae won’t use many high end features designed for 3d applications, so the really expensive pro lines probably won’t offer enough to justify the cost.

Thanks for that information. I think we have decided to leave the comp[uter as is minus the Avid application.
Thanks
