![]() ![]() ![]() In Resolve the CPU is used to run the app, disk I/O, fusion, compression and decompression of codecs. I feel claustrophobic when editing with a small screen so therefore I recommend a desktop. If you need two computers, you may also get one laptop and one desktop. 2TB internal SSD, 4TB internal HD for long term storage (if needed), SD cards, external SSD as needed) Intels upcoming discrete GPU's may also be a good option if they have extensive HW acceleration support as they do on their integrated GPU's. AMD 6800XT GPU (16GB) (2nd option nVidia 3070 or better if it has 8GB+ memory, or as much as the budget allows, availability is close to zero anyways. 32GB 3200-3600MHz memory (or more, just make sure the memory works as fast as possible, if you have to put 4 DIMM's to get 64GB) (although probably had to wait months for the GPU in any case) If I had thousands of dollars to get a new video editing PC I would go for the following to get a decent PC without the need to sell my kidney. Maybe nVidia is used more and therefore the problems with proper drivers etc. In general nVidia graphics is considered slightly better for video editing, although I use AMD and haven't had any issues except one. In my opinion any current middle to high end CPU is good for video editing, more CPU cores can probably get you a little bit more future proofing, but then the money is better spent in the future anyway.įast storage is cheap I wouldn't worry about running out. Going higher than that and you may not get much more performance/$ I would look to get decent amount of memory (both main and for gpu)ģ2GB main and 10-16GB for GPU. In almost all cases a desktop computer is better and more futureproof option. High end laptop is one option, but at some point you have to (or should) use proxies but I don't think it's a big problem. I'm almost 60 so my eyes reduce UHD to HD regardless.Ĭurrently one big problem is availability. I understand some here may want 8k but the average consumer won't need more than HD to UHD for many years. JEM ADV wrote:Doing research to find the sweet spot that won't be obsolet in a few years. In Resolve studio make sure the GPU is set to decode on the IGPU and use the 3060 for everything else. Make sure the system bios is set to have the IGPU turned on. If your budget is $5K what I've listed is likely half your budget more or less. I don't think I've missed anything major. Seasonic top of the line isn't cheap but it's about the definition of problem free. If you could find one at a reasonable price. Video card won't be easy but from what you've suggested a 3060 would be overkill. There are cheaper smaller consumer drives but your budget has the room. Depending on what you can find I'd guess something around the 14 TB size would be the sweet spot. I'd look at one of the larger enterprise HDD for general media storage. It wouldn't hurt to get a third for media you're working on but not a huge issue. ![]() The first one for your OS and applications. You can stick with a DDR4 MBĪ couple of 2TB NVME drives. Common 4.2.0 HEVC is easy for almost anything.ģ2GB of memory should be okay. The big issue today is HEVC 4.2.2 video that only the IGPU can decode. Make sure you get the version with the IGPU no the slightly cheaper F models. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. I understand many professionals prefer Mac. Can you recommend the sweet spot between performance and price? If building a Windows 10 PC for Davinci resolve 17. Davinci resolve appears complete from watching YouTube beginner courses.
