I'm getting close to understanding but still confused. Essentially what I want to be able to do is two things
1. Play games
2. Edit video without having to sit around for hours wondering about the rendering.

In the past I have had a Matrox video capture card coupled with a standard graphics card which could output edited video in real time but was lousy for games.

My question is are the new high end graphics card capable of both things -I think it means CPU based rendering would need to be shunted to the GPU. ATI have something called AVIVO in pipelne but I haven't found anything about nVidia. Should I wait?


cheers
