I'm looking for a new video card thats good with working with images.
Dual monitor support etc...
I have a GT9400, which doesn't seem to be very good color wise. The
onboard Intel graphics seemed better.
Eventually I will get a spider and do color correction.

But what are you guys using?, out of curiosity. ATI, Nvidia, what mfg?

Cheers


I had weird problems with some Nvidia cards, but the 8800 I have now works well.
My other machine uses an ATI 3650 (I think) and it also runs well.

The gamma adjustment comes in very handy, on both cards.

The LCD monitor is very important as well, I think my newer Samsung 24" is the
best I have, my older Samsung is pretty poor... (too old). I also have an ACER
that is quite good, and an 'xplio' that isn't too bad. My LG is kinda pale, no
good for photos. As for the CRT type, my NEC is the best I've seen, but I don't
use it any more. Too big for my desk!
