Hi.
I am specing out a system capable of coping with HD capture & rendering (see specifications below).
My question is; is the 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560 - 2 DVI,HDMI,VGA - 3D Vision Ready graphics card up to the job or is there a better option?
Thanks in advance for any help given. smiley

That's the spec I have been looking at from PC Specialists. Differences being on my choice; no 3rd HD as I have plenty here to install, 650W power supply just to be on the safe side, additional DVD R/W drive. Your choosen Graphics card was recommended for Premiere but the GTX 680 has superseded it now but it is expensive.

Now with a PC Specialist Quad Core i7-3770, 16GB RAM, 180GB SSD, GeForce GTX560 Ti Graphics Card, Blu-Ray & DVD R/W Burners and can't wait to set it up. Now up and running. What a difference in Blu-Ray footage.

Thanks for the info Harry.

I guess I'll go for that spec then. Might look on upgrading to the GTX 680.

GTX 670 hits the sweet spot for power vs expense.

Best bang for buck.

No need for GTX 680
