I want to get the highest end video card - but I DO NOT game.
Currently I have an 8600 GT or something (512mb).

Would upgrading to say an 8800 Ultra or the top end 9800 series be beneficial in terms of image quality? I'm into photography and many of my images are shot raw (Canon DSLR) and I then process them to TIFF or JPG.

Money is no object but i'd rather not spend $500 on a graphics card that will do nothing for me in terms of photography and image quality.

Thanks
