Video Card Help
Ok, I need to buy a similar Video Card to the one I have now, but
better/more RAM/Features. I have an ATI Rage Fury Pro 128 Composite Video In/Out plus S-Video, 32 MB SDRAM.. I do a lot of Video Editing, downloading video from my Digital Video Camera and the Video In works great. But I'm wondering if a FireWire card would be better?? I dunno?? Just need some advice or suggestions. Thanks, Steve |

Just need some advice or suggestions. Thanks, Steve If your Digital Video Camera has a firewire port, yes, firewire is much better, should be used exclusively since the video card's analog-in is inevitably degrading quality in addition to requiring multiple compression and takes longer. What EXACTLY do you mean by needing more RAM and features? In general 32MB is plenty for video work, so are you looking for a gaming card? Dave So the next issue is whether you need the analog I/O on the card for anything else, or if a separate firewire card is your best alternative, then any video card without the I/O ports would suffice. |
