I would say I'm a pretty big computer gamer and have gotten into some video editing for YouTube as my hobby.The program I use most is Sony Vegas, but I also use After Effects not very much though. My price budget is between $200-$250. I understand Nvidia has cuda cores and gpu acceleration. And the R9 380 has OpenCL which I heard is good for sony vegas. I was just wondering if the R9 380 4gb or the gtx 960 is better for what I am doing. And another question for in the future. Would using SLI greatly help in video editing? I know It is pretty effective in gaming but I'm not very sure about video editing. Any advice and/or help is very much appreciated!  :)

R9 380 is 15% faster at gaming and in Sony Vegas a 380 is faster than a 980 Ti (not joking, AMD is stupidly fast with OpenCL Sony Vegas)
