I also use Premiere and Element 3D, and would like to have capabilities to color grade in Da Vinci. The computer’s primary purpose would be for cutting and compositing, but if I could also use it for finishing, that would be amazing.
The 4 GB Quadro is nearly a grand cheaper, I could definitely save money there and allocate it elsewhere.
I assumed because I was using graphics intensive software I needed a powerful graphics card, what is gfx card used for?
