    Question upgrade suggestions

    I would say it’s cpu related then. You might be able to overclock and that wo yo of help some but I’d upgrade to a ryzen 2000 series if you can. You may have to update your bios

    Even cpu wise you can get a older dell precision workstation with 2 high core count CPUs for fairly cheap and it will rip through video editing

    [SOLVED] Video Editing Setup

    With 1000-1500 you could probably edit 4K video. Maybe not super stellarly but I think it would do pretty decently

    [SOLVED] Should I bother upgrading?

    Depends on resolution, if your using 1080p maybe even 1440 I don’t think your gonna be fully utilizing a 2070. However if you plan on doing a full upgrade relatively soon in the future then I’d go for it. If your not gonna be upgrading your system for atleast another year or two I’d get...

    [SOLVED] W3680 overclock

    I’m sure it’s from cpu to cpu but in my testing fsb overclocked higher than a multiplier overclock. When I would multiplier overclock my i7 920 it would only reach 3.6 or so but with fsb overclocking it would hit 3.8 even if the projected MHz were similar

    [SOLVED] Best Graphics Card I Can Upgrade To?

    To be fair I bought a gtx 1070 that was mined on for nearly a year and it’s served me well the past year and a half or so never had issues with it ran cool and quiet.

    [SOLVED] Best Graphics Card I Can Upgrade To?

    Another idea might be to do the opposite buy a new system now upgrade gpu later. There will be probably about the same bump in performance with less stuttering and may or may not cost less

    [SOLVED] Best Graphics Card I Can Upgrade To?

    Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea and once again expensive. And there is also an issue with the super cards I’ve seen first hand, ram chip failure

    [SOLVED] Best Graphics Card I Can Upgrade To?

    Experience I’ve had so many computers especially older x58 systems and yes a gtx 1070 will get you more fps than a gtx1060 in that system but only a couple more fps. And telling them to go with the highest power graphics card while they have a powersupply that won’t support it it’s not a good...

    [SOLVED] W3680 overclock

    You can try to use setfsb but likely it won’t have your fsb chip but it’s worth a try see if others have tried it on your workstation. I do recommend not going too crazy once you get over 4ghz it uses way more power and gets way hotter. I had a x5660 running at 4.5ghz and it was water cooled...
