I am attempting to build a budget video editing hackintosh around a GA-Z68AP-D3 motherboard and a 2500k processor. I settled on the 6850 graphics card, but I am now wondering if this is overkill. Maybe I should spend the extra money and go from 8GB RAM to 16GB, I don't know, that's why I am here.
I have read about OPENCL and I understand that the program I will be using, Final Cut Pro X, uses this technology to really utilize the GPU.
Can anyone give me an idea if the 6850 is worth it for this endeavor, or should I be looking to get a card about $50 cheaper and use the extra money on additional ram?
