Sufficient graphics memory for new iMac and Lightroom or Aperature

« on: November 28, 2009, 02:14:45 PM »

I'm looking at the new iMacs, but am concerned about the cost of getting one w/dedicated graphics. I am not a gamer, but I want to retain capability to use Lightroom or Aperture, and do light video editing, without the machine slowing to a crawl.
1/ Would the 256 ATI dedicated graphics be enough?
2/ I heard somewhere that NVIDIA may be superior for video editing. Since iMac dedicated graphics are only ATI, would that be a compelling enough reason to reconsider a Windows & machine?

Thanks, Dave

Get the best graphics you can. Here is an Aperture discussion about it on the Apple boards. You can join there and ask your specific question, too.
