I move away from ATI video card for the singular reason of video editing . CUDA make all the difference in such a experience , especially with hd video . this card , with it be add CUDA core -lrb- over the standard gtx 560 ti -rrb- be quite pleasant to work with . I use Adobe Premiere , and while the 560 ti be not on the normal `` accept '' list , you can easily add it so Premiere use it anyway . I have be do this for several month without any problem . I be also a gamer , and in this respect , the video card do not disappoint . all the newest game run just fine at the highest setting , and one and a quarter gig be plenty for anything other than a extreme 3d workstation setup . the cooling solution be not perfect , but it be not too loud , and it do not run too hot . some overclocking be possible , though I have not yet test the outer boundary of it . I be go to wait until summer be in full swing to make sure I do not loose stability as thing heat up in my house . this card be a great balance of speed , CUDA core , and price , and should fit in the budget for any gamer or video editor .
