Simple question.. to render previews and process files.. what does c1pro use the most of? GPU or CPU?
I need to upgrade my Mac pro to the latest version.. wondering which GPU to plug in ?
And how much RAM ?

  My "feeling" is that GPU for rendering preview and CPU for processing files. I recently found a 285GTX for my 2009 MacPro and have a 5770 in my 2010 and they feel about the same when rendering previews. The 285 is great in PS and After effects the 5770 is crap.

  Hey Rick,
  Hook me up with someone reliable ?
  Im based in Mumbai, India.. I do get stuff from amazon and ebay..
  but when it comes to flashed cards.. dunno who'd be reliable and tested.
  
  And u think its advisable to get one that has a displayport as opposed to only DVI ?
  
  Thanks in Advance.
