For AE I would think the m= ost performance u will get at that price is the 590gtx which has 4x the cuda= cores and 3GB ram

More cores means faster renderin= g and then the more ram on the card will help out with larger evironment map= s

The q4000 will be much slower
The 590 i= s basically 2 580s on one board. Depending on your system There's also the g= tx480  and 580 where can install multiple cards that AE will use

W= hat is the best card I can get for that price? So far I've seen the Quadro 4= 000 for either $80 at a never before heard of place or $700 from NewEgg. &nb= sp;http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?= Item=3DN82E16814133324
