Advice graphic card for After Effects, InDesign, Illustrator, Lightroom and Photoshop

Hi, I have a CPU Intel (R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @3.20 GHz , 16 Gb RAM and operative system of 64 bits. I want to know if the "Nvidia GTX 745" can work with all of this application without problem.

Do you have other recommendation about graphic card?

After Effects doesn't use the GPU for a whole lot, but the list of effects that are GPU-accelerated is growing with each new version and it should work for some of those.

That card isn't officially supported to accelerate the ray-traced renderer, but that feature is considered obsolete by the AE team, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Some third-party effects do use the GPU, so if you plan to use things like Red Giant Universe, Element 3d, etc. you may need to look at their requirements.
