Video card help for PPro2…
We’re on the eve of the release of the Conroe CPUs from Intel and I’m going to be building a new edit station based on the E6600 version. Components will be:
MB – Asus P5W DH Deluxe
CPU – C2D E6600 (2.4 Ghz overclocked to mid- 3Ghz)
RAM – DDR2 677 (overclocked to 800)
Video/Audio HDD – Seagate SATA 320GB x 2 in RAID 0 configuration
Video Card – ????What I really need to know is what PCIe video card is going to offer me smooth, 30fps preview of the timeline (excluded of effects, etc.) via DVI when editing HDV? I DO NOT want to shell out $600-$1000 for a so-called professional card.
Is this possible? I don’t care if it has an ATI or Nvidea chipset. I just want it to work as described. And, no, I DO NOT want to defer to a proxy solution like Aspect HD. TIA!

Take a look at the nVidia 7800 or the ATI1900. I have had good experiences with both.

Good experiences meaning no lag in previewing the timeline on a second monitor? Thanks…

Yes.

Not sure why CineForm is a problem…it certainly takes a load off your processor and protects your image quality during the edit. Display card or no display card, Aspect isn’t a display function…
I’d look seriously at the Matrox Parhelia APVe…three head (two for user interface and one for DVI video or analog component video output).
It’s not expensive and it does a nice job, keeping in mind that if you’re dropping frames, the video card is very rarely the problem…
