Video Card Importance in Resulting Images

2005-12-05 by Johnny Eades

There is one subject I haven't seen discussed very much on this 
group, and that is the importance of the video card in the 
production of the finished product--the fine art print. Does the 
quality of the finished product improve with the better quality of 
the video card or not? We all work with monitors as the primary 
source of our decisions regarding the progress of our working with 
an image from which we ultimately produce a fine art print as the 
result of our labors. My question is whether or not a different 
video card would produce a different resulting image/print 
combination. Those of you with much more knowledge/experience can 
see all the implications/ramifications resulting from a piece of 
hardware changed in the current procedure we use to create our 
images. I would like to hear all opinions and experiences regarding 
the changing from one video card to a more refined one.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny
