Best cheap graphic card for multi-cam, 3-monitor video editing?

I'm looking for a "good enough" graphic card for editing a multi-cam sitcom pilot that was shot in HDV format. I'm currently running with two 1024x768 monitors and planning to add another identical monitor in the very near future.



I'm leaning towards the Eyefinity capability of AMD Radeon 5xxx graphic cards. This PC will NOT be used for games. It will only be a video editing station.



My budget is VERY TIGHT, so I'm thinking of the HD 5450 or the HD 5570.

Do you think that the HD5450 will be ENOUGH for to edit a HDV multi-cam video with 3x1024x768 triple monitor setup? Or should I go for the 5570 instead?



I need it to be decent but cheap, cause the extra cash I saved will go to another stick of RAM.



My current setup is:

AMD Athlon II X4 635

4GB of value DDR2 RAM

1TB of WDC Green HDD|||1.I suggest you NVIDIA 7600GT

2.go tot nvidia.com and check all models

3.for tight budget see 7600 series
