Help wanted for a recommended GPU Setup and GPUs for Gaming and Video Editing (including VFX)


(Mainly talking NVidia GPUs here, but I will not rule out AMD GPUs)

I was wondering if any of you guys could help me decide on which GPU setup/config (single or multi) and GPUs I should get for a Gaming/Editing Rig in the near future as soon as I am able to get the budget for it.

4K is already becoming an unofficial standard, more prominently for video/movie content (games are getting there if I'm not mistaken).

I am fully aware that CUDA cores affect how Video Editing software performs, so CUDA cores are an important feature from the GPUs that I will need (I know CUDA cores come standard with GeForce and Workstation GPUs, but what I'm saying is, the more CUDA cores, the better for me).

And what's recommended for 4K rendering is a minimum of 8GB of GDDR5 RAM. More would be better of course.

Plus, I need the GPU setup to be 4K/60p ready. I want the GPUs to be able to output 4K @ 60 FPS. I would also want to have a dual-monitor setup along with it as well (since dual-monitor setups have been proven to be extremely useful for video editors like myself).

Since I mentioned that I want my future rig to be a Gaming and Editing rig, that means that I only want to look for the GeForce cards that are capable (even future GPUs like them) of Gaming and a smooth-as-possible workflow for Video Editing.

With that being said, please help me decide. Thank you. :)
