Howdy everyone,
I'm doing research for a new rig and need some advice on vid cards. First, right off the bat, I don't game at all. I use my computer mainly for the creation of high end corporate presentations (main apps used are Powerpoint, Photoshop, Flash and Lightwave 3d). My current card is in my sig. I don't need something insane for my work but I need something that can handle complex screen redraws (Powerpoint is terrible at redrawing the screen when you get alot of stuff on a slide).
The cards I'm looking at are the 6 series GeForce cards. I notice that one of the differences between the 6600 series and the 6800 series is that the 6800s are 256bit whilst the 6600s are 128bit. I'm positive a 6600GT would be fast enough for what I need but would the 128bit vs. 256bit make a huge diffference?
Thanks
