GeForce 280 can be considered as the best card for gaming... but for encoding, rendering etc, even the Quadro FX series is excellent...

if you got the $$$'s!! Quadro FX would be great!

whot part does a graphics card do when rendering/encoding,. i thought you needed a good cpu for that,.!>?

a simple example would be Photoshop CS4 which uses GPU rather than CPU to add filters...

essentially, a GPU is a lot more capable of high calculations that are required in encoding/rendering..

you mean the open-gl feature in PS CS4!>?

but not many programs use gpu>!? maybe 3d programs and such,. but for encoding cpu is used,..>?

also i thought the quad core was made to prevent overheating,. so i was told,. but seems quad core cpu's reach high temperature's also.
