Hello fellow VDMXers. As some of you might know, I'm running VDMX on a hackintosh system. The machine feels kind of outdated, I.e. rather slow at times. The hardware is a gigabyte ep45 mobo, a core2quad and a GeForce 9800.
I was considering upgrading the whole system, but that would cost me more than 1000€, which is more than I am willing to spend at the moment because I don't gig regularly.
So I figured since most of the processing for my main content cation soft (Motion) and afaik VDMX is mostly done on the GPU, not on the CPU, a new graphics card would be a way of improving performance. I had almost settled on a gt 640 until I read some reviews saying that its performance was bad due to the fact that it only uses DDR 3. The more expensive gtx 660 can be had with DDR 5 but uses PCI express 3.0 which is not supported by my Mobo. Does it still make sense to get one of the faster 660s? Any opinion would by highly appreciated.
