What video card to use with Adobe Premier/After Effects

I am building a system to do video editing. I used to have an an nVidia 9800GT 512mb card, till it blew up. Then I replaced it with an ATI HD 5770 1GB and it is not much good at video editing, great for games though.

I need to replace this card so I can get back to editing video faster and improve rendering times. Any help is greatly appreciated as I don't ant to buy another card to find out it is no good either.

I'm sorry if I'm being a noob... but doesn't video editing go on the CPU, and not the GPU?

I'm fine with the integrated stuff I have. It will take a while but it works fine. Try getting a faster CPU and more RAM. That should speed it up a bit, you have a great video card.

Yes it is a good card especially for gaming as it has DirectX 11 and OpenGL 3.2. But none of this seems to make a difference to Adobe speed. My 9800Gt performed faster than this one but on paper the 5770 HD blow the 9800 out of the water. It seems that nVidia have the monopoly on the video editing market ATM.
