need advice on GPU

[Alter Ego]

That is precisely my problem too. i would like a graphics card for just one slot. It seems that ATI has some but I don't know how they perform with Edius 5.12

Apparently most Edius users have NVidea cards, is that because of compatibility issues with ATI?

My ATI 4850 card works great. Edius will work just fine with either ATI or NVidea. I don't think anyone has ever reported compatibility issues with ATI cards.

As far as I know there are no Edius compatibility problems with ATI cards, as many of us here are system builders we have come around issues for me with the drivers, hardware I have no real issues so far.
I think similar goes for the CPU, once one is bitten before you tend to be twice shy :)
No ill feelings towards AMD but not for me .......

P.s. I am not brand concious (enough) to stick with A while B is better performing at the time of purchase, same goes for software.
I have no problems to switch camp for both, at the time of upgrade or new build, cost of course is always a small factor :)

I have a slightly different problem. 99% of the graphic cards these days all occupy the physical space required by 2 slots. I can't release the spare slot because my PC slots are all fully occupied. Any good graphic cards you know that only occupy one physical slot?

Just checked up Nvidia website - the new 310 card will fit this bill (if it really occupies only 1 slot width). Hoping ...

Check put NVidia cards from say GTX260 up to the GTX295, you can pick them up pretty cheap now, check out EBay.... or wait a little while for the new 300 series NVidia cards, due soon.

hi there,

I'm planning on working with Edius 5.12. For this I want to upgrade my graphics card. I am looking for a single slot card with 1Gig of (preferably DDR3) memory.

It would be great if the card is both quiet and with relatively low power consumption. I don't play games, i just want great effects performance in Edius.

Any suggestions?
thanks a lot
