Adobe After effects video card
Posted: Sat Jul 11, 2009 9:40 am
I have a buddy in L.A. looking do build a machine for the exclusive use of Adobe After Effects. I am going to build the core of the system with an I7 and plenty of ram. I am not real familiar with Adobe After Effect and the system requirements are a bit lacking from Adobe.
Windows
* 1.5GHz or faster processor*
* Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 (Service Pack 3 recommended) or Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 (certified for 32-bit Windows XP and 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista)
* 2GB of RAM
* 1.3GB of available hard-disk space for installation, plus 2GB of space for optional content; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on flash-based storage devices)
* 1,280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card
* DVD-ROM drive
* QuickTime 7.4.5 software required to use QuickTime features
* Broadband Internet connection required for online services†
He is planning on running 2 24" hd monitors. Is a high end workstation card going to be a benifit to him or would he be alright with a pair of 4890's or gtx 285's?
