I got a great deal on one and I'm going to ATI after having nothing but Nvidia cards for the past 4 years. How does the 4870 differ from the Core 216 in editing video and pictures? I know it's CPU dependent, but some of it's going to rely on the GPU, right?
 
Video editing is a CPU function.
Pictures ditto.

What kind of excuses are you looking for?
 
I believe if you use particle effect when editing video your GPU will come into play.

I would Google it though since I never even owned a camera.
 
Video editing is not entirely cpu dependent. Particularly when rendering, the video card has to do a lot of the work. Another thing to keep in mind is that the best cards for 'gaming' are not necessarily the best cards for video editing/rendering work. If this is for your work do some research on what the best video card for it might be. Google is your friend.
