Is the case large enough to accommodate a large card Do I have a strong enough power supply (PSU)Ģ. Then look at your current rig set up and ask:ġ. You will then be left with a choice of roughly 5-8 GPU's from a manufacturer. This will narrow the field down and also get you used to some of the technical features. Once you decide on where you will be spending most of your time, look up on reviews on say "Best Nvidia cpu for visual effects" The best way to decide on a GPU is to first decide on what you will be using to for.

Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver - 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste Those who suggest the 10 may be thinking of things from a gaming standpoint and not an editing standpoint. It also supported things that not even the 970 and 980 had). I would say if you do get the 1060, get the 6gb model if possible. So, again, nice to have, but budget constraints are more important right now.įor video editing, the 960 4gb faired a lot better than the 970 and 980 when it came to adobe software (this was when I saw the benchmarks a 2 or so years ago. I really haven't played many games for the past few years, and only did so on consoles. Yet, I am trying to get all of the advice I can.Īs for games, I wouldn't mind having some gaming ability, but I am only getting a 1080p monitor right now, and video work is really the priority here. Many videographers say to focus on the CPU, and that a GPU is less of a priority. It would be paired with a 6700k, and I use Premiere Pro and After Effects for my video work. However, I'm hoping it would be for video work. (The MSI Gaming X model is $229.) I have seen posts on here saying 3GB isn't enough these days.
Within my budget, the 3GB 1060 is about the best option I can afford. I want to be able to handle 4K from my Panasonic G7, but on a budget. I am looking to make my first rig, specifically for video editing. Hey, just made an account to ask about this, but looks like a great forum!
