Best 2-D Card w/ DirX 9?

[subgenius]

I'm building a new system for video editing, and I'd like to get a really good 2-D card that's Direct X 9 compatible. Any suggestions?

DX9 capable and compatible are different things, keep that in mind.
An only 2D card you want? I dont know...
But the best DX9 cards are Ati, and they have excellent 2D quality.
I also recommendo a Matrox G400 (not for gaming, and it´s a DX7 card, compatible with DX9.

i know the Matrox Parhelia is directx 8, but doesnt have partial directx 9 compliance?

For video editing you might want an ATI All-in-Wonder

Yes it has, but the 2D quality is no better than a G400...
