I'm putting together a new machine and the most intensive thing it will do is render some HD video content from my camcorder.
I was going to re-use my current graphics card which is a Saphire Radeon PCIe card with 512MB of RAM on it.
However, someone suggested I get a new card with 1GB of memory like a GeForce 9500GT or some such to aid in the video aspects.
I thought the CPU did all the work on video editing/rendering...do I really need a new graphics card too?
