In contrast to gaming, video editing has very little to do with your video card and any modest GPU should suffice.

As your current hardware seems capable of the task, I would recommend focusing your spending on a good NLE.

[dman]

Crucial.s point should be taken as well as what editing software u are planning to use

some are processor intensive and hardly use the video card as well as some need certain types of video cards to maximize their features

and a word of advice dont let a gamer build ur non linear editing system

u not gaming so STFU
I have that same card to and it works great. As others are saying, isnt video editing not as GPU intensive as CPU, your apps utilizing your 4 cores? I watch my CPU go to 100% while GPU chilling around when i converting/editing video. Unless u want a Quadro/FireGL

Pass een if you want my card to buy tho.
ohh if you buying 260, get the core 216 model and u can also check out the ATI 4890. I dunno i just sway towards ATi when i hear video editing

[r3iXmann]

FireGL ftw

[ingalook]

ATi 4850

Works with everything I throw at it

Would recommend the 5770 (more or less the replacement) if you want DirectX 11

memory dont say much, you could put how much memory you want on a graphics card but if the gpu cant keep up with it then it doesnt make sense. In other words if you have 12GB on that 9800 it not going to be any different than the 512MB.

oh and

i mean i know PS3's and Xbox's took over the world, but is PC gaming THAT dead?

EH????? what you saying dey is directX 9? and FTW?

pc gaming is far from dead, dont let any ps3 and xbox "statistics" fool you.

and if you want you could check out the gtx470/480 or the HD5850/5870

[M_2NR]

ohh sheit. 1st thing, what d rass is your budget?

[jackson5]

bro.. future proof yuh machine and invest in ah good card >>> ati 5770 upwards...
