You want a Gfrx card, right?

I am professional film editor and vfx artist. My primary work is editing. I use Premiere as my primary editing software. With CS6 coming out and I am looking to upgrade and I so require a new gfx card.

I also want to stick with Nvidia card as I want to make use of the cuda core which adobe premiere mercury engine supports and hence my workflow is quicker.

Also my one other concern is that I have 500W psu. I have been reading around and I see that most recommend a 450W psu. So should my current psu you be fine?

Thank you.

Which psu would you recommend? Future proof it for atleast 3 years.

Though I am not sure if I have the budget for it.

Though i am not sure if I would have the budget for a PSU currently. Maybe 2-3 months down the line I might. So if I dont upgrade the PSU at present time, my current PSU should suffice for the time being?

I am currently considering between ATI HD 7850 and GTX 560 Ti / 570

So please suggest which of the three is best and why. Also which manufacturer to go for?

Thank you :)

^^ all of the the gpus mentioned here ain't supported by premier CS6 for GPU acceleration . If you need a supported GPU now get GTX 570 or else wait for GTX 670 ( which shuld be supported by Premier CS6 with a update/hotfix )

get either of these :

MSI N570GTX Twin FrozrIII PE/OC

wont a workstation card be better suited for the OP's need? even though he is mentioned he needs GTX series.. if he is not playing games then Quadro series should be the choice..
