After a brief distraction with an iMac, I have decided it is not for me and am going back to the PC world. I'm looking at a new custom build for a reasonably high-end photo-editing PC (currently using LR and Photoshop). After quite a bit of research I am also going for a BenQ SW271 monitor which has 10-bit capability.
The question is, is there any point in stumping up for a pro-level Nvidia Quadro card which I understand is needed for 10-bit colour in Adobe programs? An NVIDIA Quadro P2000 5GB is only marginally more expensive than say a Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB. It will also give an element of future-proofing (I'd want 5 years out of it), plus I might be tempted to do the odd bit of video. And if I do go the Quadro route, is 5GB enough or should I be looking at an NVIDIA Quadro P4000 8GB at which point it does start to get a bit pricey?!
Thanks in advance. :thumbsup:
