What is in the Powerpack? Any GE4 except the MX series will beat any Radeon card except the 9700...

It's hard to beat Gainward.

Hi eko976,

Are you going to be viewing DVD's or are you going to download video from a digital cam-corder to edit it?

I think the ATI would be a better choice in this case.

NAW GAINWARD GAINWARD *startschant*

I got my VIVO working!!!!


and I would say its awesome. Very nice quality up to the 30FPS. Works very nicely . I output to a VCR then input back on. Ill have some vids this weekend.


Powerpack basically has all software needed for Movie editing. The Golden sample mean with the touch of a button you can increase performance alittle. But With that card I run between 4400 and 4600 easily......and GPU on back side and mem are cool to the touch.

I will use the card to edit videos from digital camcorder not for DVD's not for games

Radeon AIW gets my vote for video editing.

Yeah, I think the radeon's have a better reputation for 2d and just being at least decent all around. GF4's are better gaming cards no doubt.

Go with the radeon, you wont be disapointed.

ATI or Matrox for video editing - Nvidia for gaming.

[v1r4L fr3nzy]

they are both quality cards, and i doubt you will be disappointed at all by one of them. its up to what you wanna do.

Depends on what you want...

A card with drivers that work - nVidia

The biggest pain in the world and a claim to have better video...ATi

A card with drivers that work, unparalleled 2D display, fast as heck, and inexpensive = Matrox G550
