Re: Suggest a graphics card
Hi JDArt, there's an old saying in IT, RAM, RAM and more RAM. If your OS is 64 bit, throw in as much RAM as you system can physically take. Having a great graphics card is one thing, but always, data flows through RAM and CPU first, the bigger the processor and the more RAM you have, the faster your PC will run. The other potential bottleneck to good performance is is your HDD. If you are willing to pay hundreds for a new graphics card, I would suggest to upgrading your PC to at least 2 HDD's of exactly the same spec, and striping them. Given the size of the files Photoshop produces on disk, as well as the amount of data moved in RAM, getting the data of your HDD's as fast as possible will let your CPU and RAM work far more effectively. Simply put, the faster you can get your data from the hard drive to RAM and the CPU the better.
