her are some rules about video cards
if you are doinging gaming, get a gaming card
if you are doing professional work, get a pro card ex. Ati Fire series
if you are doing gaming, but u want to dab ur feet in a little pro work, get a gaming card because pro cards arent designed for gaming and dont contain the same drivers and often dont hhave the latest versions of direct X
