[QUOTE="KingBlack, post: 16595911, member: 23148"] I did see that part. Hey [USER=72180]@quick94gt[/USER] If you're not gaming don't waste money on a high-end GPU. In fact the best most expensive gpus should be reserved for video editing in 3D designs. Don't be fooled and to believe in otherwise. Furthermore when you get into Ray tracing and things of that nature then yes you're going to spend $2,500 plus easily just for a gpu. But if that's the case then you're buying a new computer every 2 years anyway and we aren't having this conversation. Honestly if you're into graphic design at that level it's not unheard of to spend $50,000 for graphic processing unit. Now that we've got that out of the way are we talking desktop or laptop? Personally I'm a desktop person but I guess I'm old-fashioned. You definitely get more bang for the buck but you do suffer and don't have the portability.
