Is the AMD A8-3870K APU with AMD Radeon 6550 HD Graphics good for editing/rendering HD video? If not, can you recommend a video card that works under 300 watts?
My current setup is:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
System Manufacturer HP-Pavilion
System Model AY748AA-ABA p6320y
System Type x64-based PC
Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 820 Processor, 2800 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 5.13, 11/12/2009
SMBIOS Version 2.5
Windows Directory C:\Windows
System Directory C:\Windows\system32
Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume1
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB
Total Physical Memory 7.75 GB
I also have a very weak nvidia GeForce 9100 that isn't mentioned in the list. If it's worth it (I'm afraid of installing a better power unit on my computer, in case I mess something up or the setup isn't right), should I install a 500 watt unit to use the GeForce 560? I need to edit and render HD video as well as export Flash animation.
Thanks!
