Hi all,
So I'm building a new video editing rig which will be nice as I've been mostly using laptops up until now and I'm trying to decide which GPU I ought to go for. Obviously I don't need anything super high-end as I'm topping out at 4K in Davinci Resolve and Premiere/After Effects so my plan was to go with the 3060 Ti when it comes out in a couple of weeks (and the card's design provided I can get a Founder's Edition suits my build rather nicely which is a nice bonus). The recommended spec from Blackmagic is 8GB of VRAM for a 4K timeline so that aligned well but then the leaks that the 3060 in Januaryish may have 12GB for cheaper have me thinking that maybe that would be a better investment. It does come with the tradeoff of a narrower memory bus and fewer CUDA cores so I don't know whether having more VRAM than I potentially need is worth the tradeoff.
