Mac Pro Graphics Card Choices
Looking for advice regarding which graphics card(s) to put into my new machine. System for editing with FCP and AVID (will when UB is shipped), as well as effects/design with AE, CS, and Studio 8. Not certain how important the card will be and can’t find solid answers. I’m not doing any 3d, and only care about rendering/processing time savings.
These are my choices:
1 x NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB (single-link DVI/dual-link DVI)
2 x NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB [Add $149]
ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB (2 x dual-link DVI) [Add $249]
3 x NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB [Add $299]
4 x NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB [Add $449]Thanks in advance.

Go for the ATI card. Solid price/performance. More and more apps will use the GPU for accelertaion so this will be good to have in the future (FCS 5.1.2 does this on certain effects, Motion relies soly on the GPU etc).
