Default Re: Full system update for my freelance graphics buisness

Low end ATI cards like the HD3450 and 2400/2600pro/XT are capable of accelerating 1080p video while the low end Nvidia cards struggle. You could go for any brand HD3450 and be happy. I have on in my wife's PC and it is a great little card (I have the HIS passive card). Otherwise, since the motherboard video CAN do 1080p, you can go with the 8500GT if need be.
