Well I'm trying to find a new video card (for Christmas xD) that'll run Korean Audition smoothly, and I'm having trouble figuring out which one I should get. I'm not sure how much I can spend so whatever you think I should get is allowed to be posted. :X
Uhm I use PCI-E apparently. . .
Need any other info just tell me. I'm not that great w/ computer parts. ;P
Oh uhm and if you can, try to find it on
http://www.newegg.com . They have good deals.
Well it depends if you play alot of graphic heavy games you should get the latest graphic card, but if your gonna use it just for audi there isnt much to recommend.
Ehhh I have no idea what the LATEST is. xD
GeForce 8800 GT good enough? ;ooo

Well I don't just play audi you know. >_>
I want a video card that can handle Audition but also handle let's say...
Hmm Call of Duty 4 on the computer as well.
You think that one would be able to do that? :O
<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->As Dante said, if you're getting a GeForce 8800 GT [I'm getting this too as well, what a coincidence]. It'd be a waste of money to run it with just Audition. As it can go well over 100 FPS on max settings on a game, not quite sure about CoD 4. But if it's over clocked and you set it to max with maybe 1200x760, you could possibly run well over 100 FPS. Though, the card is bulky. About 9 inches? Be sure to have a big tower. And be ready to have enough power supply. The GeForce takes about 400-500 Watts. I hear it's pretty cool, so maybe your cooling system suffices already.
The only thing about it, is that's it's pricy. And my friend says it's well worth it, better than the new 9000 models so far. It's a video card that is used for heavy gaming. <3<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

Hmm well you basically sold me on that card. xD
Yeah my cousin got one of the new 9000 models and he had 8800 GT before and he basically got rid of the 9000. :o I gots a big tower..or so I think, so I'm 99.9% sure it'll fit in there.
My power supply is I believe 450 watts.. :O

Read later on and they test it on with major FPS titles. They basically put the game in the highest resolution as it can go, with very high settings - probably max settings and it runs well into the 24 - 50 Frames Per Second, which I must say is very good. Don't doubt me, that's much better than 10 - 30 FPS in all low, with no anti-alias. Considering the resolution is 2500 x 1600 in some of the games, and they put in 4x anti-aliasing with as far as it can go detail. So, if you plan on running something in lower settings than that, you'll play very smoothly.
Besides, who wants to run games in 2500 x 1600? It runs much better than most video cards, and for a lower price than say GTS or GTX.<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

Lmao I don't doubt you at all!
I planned to get 8800 GT for awhile now. ;P
And I don't think I've ever seen a game played normally in 2500x1600 o_o;;
<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Playing in that resolution would fricken kill my eyes. They're probably just going on 2560 x 1600 to test the waters, so you know how well it plays. ;D
But argh, is that card pricy. Cheapest 512MB GeForce 8800 GT I found was in Best Buy for like 187, and that's on sale. And that's only online, I don't even know if the Best Buy close to me has it.
Edit: Checked New Egg, but I'd rather not wait for shipping. I'll just keep that as a last resort~ <!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

From the review, that was the one they used for the test, and its about 30 cheaper.
I'm not sure if I should get that one now or the one I posted above. xDD
<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Okay, well according to a friend.

This one is HD supporting, for videos I believe and works well with Direct X 10 [10.1]. So, if you wanted to play something like, Devil May Cry 4 on your computer on Direct X 10, you could use this one.
And this one: <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150254&nm_mc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r&cm_mmc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r-_-Video+Cards-_-XFX-_-14150254" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...-XFX-_-14150254</a>
Is clocked, so you can possibly run things faster if you push it. Though, reading the reviews it doesn't seem to work well with Direct X 10. Personally, I'd go with the second one. Just because it's 30 dollars off, and who really plays on Direct X 10? Most multiplayer games are Direct X 9 anyways.
Edit: Then again, the reviews are glaring for the second one. Though still, who plays Direct X 10? It's not like you're planning to go Crysis on everyone. ;D <!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
Which video cards work better? The PCI-E or the AGP ones?
