![]() ![]() If you have plenty of RAM then the next step is your data storage. ![]() Buying 8GB sticks is expensive so it will be a while before I upgrade. The first project I imported used up 14GB of ram, considering I have Adobe Premiere set to leave 2GB alone for other programs this means that I have maxed out my RAM already. When I built my system back in November and went from 4GB to 16GB I thought it would be way overkill for anything I would use it for. The more data you cram into RAM the faster/smother things will go than trying to spool off a HDD. If you do not have a minimum of 16GB of ram then seriously consider upgrading that first. Much more important than the GPU (at least for video editing, and especially for HD content) is the RAM and HDD setup. If you want CUDA support then know that you will need a high end card to make it worth it (but oh boy is it awesome!), as well as the editing software the supports it. If you want to purchase a dedicated GPU for better multi-monitor support, or to play games, then I would go with some of the suggestions here for an AMD gpu, or possibly look into Matrox if you need something low power and running 3-9 monitors (they suck at most things, but they are the oldest/best company for low power multi monitor solutions). But like I said, I have only messed with it once, and there may be ways to tweak it to work better. But doing things the 'old and slow' way will give you a slightly better/smaller end product. Now, all that said, with the little (like only once) I have played with quicksink I can tell you that while fast, it does export to a larger file size and of less quality than many other software/CPU encoders. The HD3000 has a technology called Quicksink, which is ridiculously fast at encoding/reincoding/transcoding video, and is leaps and bounds faster at encoding than even the GTX590 for that type of task, so really you WILL NOT see ANY performance improvement in rendering video by moving to a dedicated GPU. Even with those large GPUs it only speeds up the export time for SOME supported transitions and effects/color correction, and will not speed up the process of encoding regular plane-jane video. ![]() Video encoding is done on the CPU, or will be accelerated IF the software you use supports some GPU technologies (such as CUDA with Adobe Premiere), and even then it is only IF you have enough CUDA cores (think the GTX 480/570/580 which are rather expensive cards to begin with) to make it faster than the CPU encoding would be. Video encoding is simply not sped up by getting a better GPU. ![]() OK, here is some information that will help you out: ![]()
