So I decided to build a new system for video editing.
Here's what I'm running so far:
Ryzen 2600x (No OC)
16gb memory @ 3000
Gigabyte x470 Aorus Ultra Gaming
500Gb m.2 for programs
500Gb SSD for scratch
Furthermore, I keep using my GTX 460 until graphics card prices are acceptable again.
I did some intensive testing with 4k and 8k footage. The 4k runs smooth, until I put effects on it (lumetri). At that point the CPU shows 100% usage, the graphics card only about 5%.
This made me wonder:
Will a new GPU take some work off of the CPU, or will it make little to no difference, since the current GPU doesn't seem to do much?
UPDATE:
Im mainly wondering about the playback, not exporting.
