OK as an initial stab I took the advice of a lot of you here who said the graphics card was not very important and stayed with my existing nVidia PCX 5300. Well it will NOT drive the dell 2405 1920x1200 HDV preview monitor. I can assure you ONLY better cards will give the higher resolutions required to monitor the edit HDV in Veags6 for full resolution work. Thoses who say a cheap card will do must have low spec monitors.
I remember the Quadro's being recommended and this is one card that will drive HDV at 1920 that is on my short list. Also the ATI GLFIre cards can do it. Can anyone who has a Dell or the Apple Cinema full HDV res screens and has had sucess driving full resolution HDV offer me other candidates for my short list?
Cheers,
Mike

The second post to your question clearly mentioned the issue of resolution compatability with the 1920x1200 monitors.... did you miss that?
I replaced my card for that very reason.

Liam:
The post you refer to had no specific recommendations. Did your generalized responce imply thay ANY card that can handle the native resolution of the LCD display will do? In other words, is it OK to buy the cheapest card that gives 1920x1200? What does Farse get extra with his QudroFX1300 for the extra $700? Why does he say he wished he had got double the memory on the card? This is where I'm not up to snuff.

OpenGL applications (Combustion, RED, Lightwave, etc.) become performance throttled if you don't have enough video card performance (CPU and memory).

So, refering to where there ARE benefits, are you implying that for previewing in Vegas6, and for playing back a finished media file for clients, any card with the resolution support is OK?
I need to be able to play to clients a finished Vegas6 HDV project that has been rendered to .wma or Nero equivalent or similar high definiation HD based file - and to play it at full resolution and frame rate.
