Hello all, I have been aganizing over this and since i have never had a Intel processor i cant compare, I have googled around and found some benchmarks but not enought for me to make a decision, so i come here you.
Presently i have a 1090t with 16GB DDR3 (13333) on a ASRock 890 motherboard.
I will be doing a lot of heavy video encoding, nothing fancy just home videos that are in both SD and HD. I will be spitting merging and re-encoding. I will be using either sony vegas or Ulead programs. I dont want to get premiere as i am not getting that detailed. I just want to make some home movies of the family.
I will be re- encoding to and from the following
HD to HD (50%) (home movies)
bluray rips to Ipod formats (bluray to ipod/iphone formats) (25%)
HD to Standard Video (blueray to regualr DVD) (so my kids can watch TV in the car) (25%)
Like most people i don’t have money growing out my ears, but I am willing to pony up the money to rebuild my system if it will make a big difference in ENCODING TIMES.
so my ? is this,
If I build a new i-7 2600k or the more expensive i-7 990x system will i see a big time saver in encoding times. I would be also putting in 24 GB of ddr3 triple channel and a gtx 580 video card. (heck the way i see it is if you are going high end then do it all the way). So far i am at about $3000 for the new i-7 990xsystem and 1800 for the I-2600x.
I am not worried about much else except the encoding times. In the past before i had a 6 core chip my encoding times were so long that i just gave up and decided to wait till a faster chip came out, then the 1090T came out, so i got it. I really have not had that much time to do video encoding since then and now the i-7 chips are out and i have more time to start doing this, So i am asking my self is it worth it to upgrade?
I will not use this machine for gaming only video editing and encoding. Secondary use will be a HTPC that i have built before and i know that no matter what set up i choose it will support it.
so what do ya think, 1090t or upgrade to save time on encoding.
I have seen benchmarks that the i-7 chips can make the jog about 25-35% faster, but i wanted to see if anyone else has any real world experience.
thanks all
