I having rm 600+- budget for a new video graphic card, my main reason for buying this graphic card is needed in video editing.

Does any "pro" or user can recommend 1 that which suit my usage and budget the most ?



*Thanks for everyone who read this and thanks for your advice in advance

Hope to see some good recommedation soon...

If you're not doing 3D stuff or making use of OGL acceleration (like Adobe After Effects), then any video card will do. Cheapo RM100 card also can.

with ur budget,

get radeon x1950/geforce 7900

you can try to use pinnacle product..
for video editing de.. =D

I recommend u get one Palit Ati Radeon X1950Pro 512Mb rm530

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

yup ... i agree ... the Palit ATi Radeon X1950 Pro is a good choice ...

i m using 1 too ...

thanks for your all reply..!

I am using pinnacle also ...but when i use the pinnacle 10, it is lagging, that's why i want to change a new computer...

I think x1950 is kinda hot in here....seeing this tread in everywher...wahahah

If for video editing use, what thing is important when assemble a PC? ?? Processor?

can someone recommend a good sample??

*my video means recorded video taken out from dv cam and edit such as wedding photo.

use core2 duo and 2GB ram should be all right..
the most important thing is the video editing card.
good card can cost u about RM3500..
u can go lowyat 2nd floor i think...behind pc zone..
there is a shop which selling video editing card...
u can enquire some information from there..
MATROX is one of the video edting card..but this cost RM3000++ if
not mistaken. =D

I'd rather put a few extra hundred bucks and SLI 8800GTX. Not worth it. Come on, video editing, an el cheapo card could do it.

what u need is a 10k rpm hardisk on raid mode
and of course at least 4gb of ram....

It really depends on your editing needs. If you are using it for editing of wedding videos on standard definitions with some transitions and video FX, a Geforce 6800 or 6600 GT is more than enough on either AGP or PCIE platform.

What is more important is your CPU and RAM specs.

As an example, I was using a Pentium 4 3.00e HT with a P875 chipset Mobo with 2GB RAM and a 6800 Graphic card and I edited a lot of dramas for RTM and ASTRO on a professional basis

Some of them are still on air now like Berarak Mendung Kelabu, Nek Nak etc....

Basically, since these video rushes were shot on BETACAM SP i just capture from a post-pro facility, edit on my pc and output the master to an external Hard Disk and then transfer to Beta SP or Digital BETA for the stations...

So i didnt get any of Pinnacle or install a capture card...for my needs they were not required at all...

Recently, I upgraded to Core2Duo simply because I am editing High Definition footages now for a singapore production...it helps to speed up rendering of video footages from the video editing timeline ...and special effects work...

You mentioned you are capturing from a DV? Well...that means you have Firewire right? That's more than enuff....you would have a pretty decent video editing rig with a Geforce 6800 or Geforce 7600.

And maybe buy additional RAMs

Hope this helps.

Added on June 1, 2007, 4:14 pm Erm...that is rather high specs....unless you have tons of video streams to handle....

2GB RAM and a 320GB 7200RPM HD will just do nicely....
