mralistair Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 New imacs have been anounced with the option of a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS card is this likely yo make significant improvements for VW (and photoshop) or is this a gamers / video type improvement? Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Video cards help with openGL, redraws on the screen. So in answer to your question.....yes it will help you in VW and PS to have a good video card. But only in those two areas. Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 It seems that one doesn't actually have a video card option. The card you mention is only available with the fastest processor on the largest screen available for the iMac. I'd be inclined to make the choice based on those other two features, and let the video take care of itself. We always buy the fastest processor and at least 2gb (better yet, 4gb) of memory that the budget will allow. In the case of the iMac, spending the extra $300 (however many pounds Sterling that is) for the faster processor will almost certainly be returned many times over in improved productivity. Good luck, Quote Link to comment
