Hi all, Newbie alert.
I need source a new video card for my computer. I use my system primarily with Photoshop 5 and Painter 7 although I am seriously considering upgrading both of these applications to the latest versions.
I would like to use the card with dual displays and I have found many cards available that offer this feature. There are however many other features offered by the newer cards (DX9 features, alpha channels 128/256mb VRAM etc). Can Photoshop take advantage of any of these features? Can it use 256mb Video RAM for example?
Is there a preferred card for use with Photoshop?
My system has an AthlonXP64 3000+, 1Gb Kingston PC3200 RAM, 200Gb SATA HDD and NEC Dual Layer DVDRW.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Paul.
