Graphics Card For Photoshop CS6

[zzyzx242]

Hi All,

I'm currently in the process of building a new system. It will be used primarily for Photoshop CS6 & Lightroom 4. I will also use it for the internet. No gaming whatsoever.

What video card would work well with CS6?


APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Immediately

BUDGET RANGE: Under $200.00


USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Basic CS6 , Basic Lightroom 4, Internet

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1280x1024

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for response jallenlabs. In the past I've known any GPU will suffice with photoshop, but have been reading varying comments in regards to CS6. I think it has something to do with the new mercury graphics engine in CS6 and how is uses the GPU. I would like to just be reassured I don't have any conflicts.

Better to get a Nvidia card because it has CUDA. Like this:
