I recently discovered that trying to make my 5900X / RTX3060ti gaming machine do everything is compromising performance on multiple planes, so I've moved unnecessary hardware to a more thermal / power-friendly machine for other everyday uses, such as web browsing, media, etc.
I'm putting a rather large DVD collection on PC, and some of them Handbrake cannot recognize or process, so one such use is recording DVDs with OBS, then trimming and exporting to MP4 files.
Featured is a RackChoice 2U ATX with B550 Aorus Master, 3600X, ID-Cooling IS-55, 2x16 Patriot Viper Blackout 4 DDR4-3220, and Asus Tuf Gaming GTX1650S-04-G (my previous gaming GPU). Got the machine running yesterday, and it runs great, but... I'm noticing a good deal of difference in performance when exporting the trimmed video to MP4. As in the 5900X / RTX3060ti would export a 50-minute TV episode in about 20-35 minutes at 30-60 fps, while the 3600X / GTX1650S setup looks to take about 20-30 minutes to export a 10-minute clip of similar quality at 30 fps.
I knew this setup would not likely perform as well as the gaming rig with half the cores, half the threads, and maybe 1/2 to 2/3 the GPU, but this is even with the 1650 boost-locked to 1650 Mhz. I split the baby between the base 1500 and 1800 boost speeds to keep thermals down in the 2U case. I did put it through its paces with a game, and it peaks around 75, my reason for limiting the boost lock, as I thought it would generate more heat than was necessary. I honestly don't think that extra 150 Mhz would help much anyway.
It's not a deal-breaker, as this one will be running 24/7 anyway, but is the GTX1650S really that much of a dog compared to the RTX3060ti for such tasks? I had noticed a speed difference in gaming, but I didn't think such tasks would be affected this drastically.
Thoughts?
