Good GPU for Adobe CS

Chuchnit · #1 03-29-2010

I am putting the wife's rig back together this week. I got to buy her a vga and I am just wondering what would be a good VGA for it. It will be used to run Adobe creative suite and the general computing. The only games it will see is here stupid flash games on Facebook

Any Adobe creative suite gurus out there?

i'd go with 5xxx from amd...they already have opengl4.0 support.

I honestly didn't know ATI had GPU acceleration in Creative Suite? Is there enough GPU acceleration in CS to justify a beefy VGA though? I mean if its only like one or two parts that utilize it then I say hell no and let the CPU do it. Yet I really thought only nvidia cards did the GPU acceleration in CS.

Thanks for the link. Wife uses mainly illistrator and just a little photochop. I guess its not worth the money for a beefy VGA in my case.

Find a 260gtx cheap, that should work very well. Plus use lots of RAM
