Intel CPU's Rendering!

[majorgibly]

Hello,


So I have been told that I can't spend £400 updating my computer my mum lol. I have the money but she would rather me save. So I either get a 2500k or wait to get a 2600k not sure how much of waiting. Would I notice a difference from the 2500k to the 2600k in video editing/rendering I would overclock them both to around 4.2 with the Noctua NH D14.

Current build

AMD Phenom x6 2.8GHz
Noctua NH-D14
RAM 4GB DDR3
GTX 460
Corsair 750w

And I was going to upgrade to this
2600k
ASUS 1155 P8Z68-V PRO
8GB Rip jaws RAM

Well seems like this might be out of the question. I don't want to overclock my AMD because I did it once and it failed a did not boot for 9 hours lol worst 9 hours of my life. What do I do?! get 2500k or save and wait for 2600k and I would rather you did not say wait for ivy bridge. that will be even more money lol

Anyway cheers guys any input is much helpful. I wonder if I should upgrade current build instead?! To many things to think about input needed lol

What program do you use? I believe most programs are now gpu accelerated, I would invest in getting a higher end gpu as well.

Sony Vegas 64bit takes about 50 minutes to render a 15 min video on a six core. However it's has about 200 sections of video.

DO you have gpu rendering enabled? My setup with gpu rendering can render an 8gb file in 2-5min :O In the end you may not even have to upgrade to an i7.

How do I do that lol?

No, Ivy Bridge should take the place of a SB CPUs prices from what I read on a Tom's article. But, I would get a 2600k for video rendering. I believe that it helps a lot.

 

[JackNaylorPE]

For video editing the 2600k/2700k and a CUDA enabled (nVidia) GFX card.

 

[esrever]

I'd think you'd see no point in upgrading from a phenom x6 to a 2500k for video rendering. They are pretty even but the phenom is actually faster sometimes.

gpu rendering will help a lot more.

 

[majorgibly]

Upgrade to a what I'm currently sitting on a Superclocked GTX 460? How about maybe a
SSD For Boot and Vegas
500GB for all other Programs
then an old 240GB for rendering videos to?

 

[amuffin]

i7-2600k, mobo, another 460 for sli?

 

[esrever]

that sounds like a better upgrade. also get more ram, ram help video rendering a lot.

try to get as much as it as you can lol.

If my mum said not to £400 how can we justify saying add another £100 on there lol

What version of vegas do u have? when you hit render and your options pop up, select sony avc/mvc and change the encode mode to render using gpu if available. (also change the format to avc)

I'm using sony vegas 10 64 bit I normally use Window Video or w.e it's called lol

No use sony avc/mvc, smaller file, better quality, and faster rendering! Try it out

 

[majorgibly]

I have Sony AVC and format AVC. Just waiting for the Appox time...around 24 min it says let me go back to my old setings and try.

Did you change the encode mode to render using gpu if available?

 

[majorgibly]

So thats more like 30 minutes by the time it's done it's stuff

 

[majorgibly]

Okay shaved 4 minutes off

 

[majorgibly]

Did you change the encode mode to render using gpu if available?

Could not find this special mode you speak of lol where about is it? Do we have same SV?

So where is the GPU think, is it a clickable option? Could you print screen to for me please.

Will that use the GPU and the CPU or just one?

 

[esrever]

it will use both, which ever is fastest.

Hmmm, it does not seem to be maxing out my Six core at all. Usage is around 45% on all 6 cores...
