R9 380 for video editing? If so is the 2gb or 4gb better?

[xSwizy]

Hello once again to the people of the LinusTechTips forum.

 

I have recently gone more deeply into video editing. But I am still a pc gamer as well. I have gtx 660 at the moment. But I'm being told that the R9 380 is the best for sony vegas. Would this card be best for video editing in the $200-$250 price range? And if so is there is big performence difference between the 4 gig and the 2 gig? Thank you for any help

Sapphire Radeon R9 380X is better and 4GB is always better

If you're gonna be doing a lot of video editing find out how to get Adobe Premiere CC as it is the industry standard and pick up a GTX 960 to go with it.

4GB is always going to be better. 2GB cards are on the way out. Save yourself some money later on and frustration now and don't get a 2GB card.

4GB is always better then 2GB, I think it's especially usefull in video editing.
