What Video card for video?Help.
Hi All,
What features and benefits are required in a graphics card to edit video at a home enthusiast/prosumer level assuming cost no object (without being wasteful)?I have P4 @ 1.8 GHz /XP Pro/768RAM/over 300GB HD space/Firewire card/DV Camcorder/DVD burner/LCD computer screen. I gather the following apply: 1) Video in /video out - but what if I already have a Firewire card and DV camcorder would I just need "TV" out? 2) Memory - How Much? 3)Colour depth and resolution - How much? 4) Real Time rendering - How much or how is this measured? 5)AGP x ?? 6)Anything else? 7)The ATI Radeon 9800 pro and AIW 9000 Pro seem to get a good rap.Any comments on video editing potential? 8) Other card recommendations? Thanks in advance in answering any or all of above :-) -- Kind Regards, David |

The ATI 9800 or 9700 series will not let you down. The 9700pro comes with
128MB memory. The 9800 comes with either 128MB or 256MB. Bobby "David Lewis" wrote in message ...

How does the AIW version compare with the 9700 or 9800 Pro? Would I be
better to get the latter and add TV tuner function separately? Thanks for help -- Kind Regards, David "NoNoBadDog!" wrote in message ... The ATI 9800 or 9700 series will not let you down.

The cards are identical but with the addition of the tuner. I have the AIW
9700 Pro, and love it. Only complaint is that the tuner is "weak" in channels 2 thru 6 (a common complaint), but even with this it is still better than any other tuner I have seen. If you would like to add PVR and TV Tuner capabilities, by all means add the AIW. Bobby "David Lewis" wrote in message ... How does the AIW version compare with the 9700 or 9800 Pro?

Thanks again
Does the AIW 9700 (and presumably 9800) come with DVI output? Also what about its' "real time" rendering for video editing(or is this only in megabuck cards) (I can't find much about this)? -- Kind Regards, David "NoNoBadDog!" wrote in message ...

Hi Jon
Yes I found a rave review on this card and thought it was the latest version of the AIW's before I realised that there was a AIW 9800...I wonder what wonderful things have been added (sorry,bad puns :-) ) On a different point,I also noted that Hercules put out Radeon cards.Do you know if they are any different to the ATI's?

Memory timing is different on the Hercules cards...this can make a
difference in rendering times for certains codes, and in graphics intensive games. If you plan on palying any games bbased upon the soon to be released Doom III engne, go with a made by ATI for the fastest memory bus. There are several usefull links to ATI forums he http://www.rage3d.com/board/forumdis... 5&forumid=27 Watch the line wrap ( you may have to copy and paste to get the entire url in the address bar). The ATI AIW are still the best Video editing solutions for under $1000. Bobby "David Lewis" wrote in message ...

the 9700 AIW only has dvi out and can only support single display,
The 9800 AIW 128mb ois not worth the price!! - the 9800 has vga / dvi out. - but frankly the 9800 is not worth it's price for the plain one or the AIW u may want to check ati web site for full details on both cards. my vote goes to the 9700 AIW - plan to grab one myself and the price is good for what you get compared to the 9800. -- ¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸© Mathiau ©¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸ Too much time on his hands life ain't short, your just dead for too long! ¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸© Mathiau ©¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸ "David Lewis" wrote in message ...
