    PCIe cards useful for editing capabilities?

    Indio22 Community Member

      Other than cards used to add RAID or additional hard drives, are there any other PCIe cards people find useful for video editing or effects work?  The reason I ask – I am considering two different motherboards for my PC upgrade to i7-4770K.  One will effectively have no free PCIe slots when the build is done, while the other will have one free PCIe slot (an x4).  I am not including the two secondary x16 sized slots on these boards in my count, because they cannibalize the primary video card slot, so I would rather not use them.

       

      Anyway, currently I don’t use any additional PCIe cards for editing.  So I am not sure if I should care if there are any extra empty PCIe slots available.
