Right off the assembly line
I have a system with the following specs:
Intel Core 2-duo E-4500 @2.20 ghz
2 GB Ram (will upgrade to 4 or 6 GB)
Asus p5qpl Am motherboard
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Viewsonic VA226w monitor (1680x1050 resolution)
---------------------
Now I have a new Sony HX9v camera which records excellent video in AVCHD format (1920x1080p 50fps at 28mbps bitrate). Upon transferring this video to my computer, the system cannot even play this video properly, let alone edit, even on a Sony Vegas Elements editing software (which is supposed to be the best for editing video from Sony consumer cameras)
So I have decided to go for a graphics card so I can get better editing performance (gaming would be secondary for me).
After much googling I have arrived at the XFX HD 6790 card for about Rs 7200, but all the reviews so far benchmark only against gaming performance, and hardly mention video editing. SO my question to experts is, are there different cards which would be better for my purposes, keeping a budget of 7k in mind? Or is this a good choice?
Thank you all in advance for your replies.
