Video cards are very important to the video editing process. Here is an excellent chart that puts AMD/ATI Radeon cards next to similar NVIDIA GeForce cards to give you an idea of the relative performance of each.

Remember, Nvidia CUDA only accelerates H.264 output and some effects, while ATI Stream accelerates H.264 and Mpeg2 output but no effects. So, choose carefully.

Here's the chart:

Thanks, good post.

Wow, I didn't realize the my 9500GT was that far down the list. However, you have to remember that Toms Hardware is normally concerned with high end equipment for gaming purposes. Personally, I have found my video card acceptable for HD editing. Gaming I already knew it would struggle. Q9300 2.5 GHz
4 GB Ram
Nvidia 9800 GT
