Graphics Cards

Hi all,

I'm building a new PC and would like your advice. Planning to use Movie Studio. The spec:

Core i3-6100 - 16GB or 32GB RAM - 240GB SSD

So what I'm trying to work out is whether a graphics card is a worthwhile investment. Will it improve timeline playback or rendering times? Also what card - I've read that older cards such as the HD6970 are quick due to their use of OpenCL but would using a card like this be quicker than the CPU alone? And are newer cards such as the RX460/570/480 any better for Movie Studio vs either the CPU alone or the HD6970?

Thanks for any advice :)

I suggest you search the Pro forum. There are many good threads discussing graphics cards. There's probably some good ones here too.
