CPU Vs GPU for Video Editing and Rendering

Hey Ben! Thanks for the informative video. I am still confused though. I have a desktop PC with GTX 1060 6 GB graphics card and. Intel i5 7400 (7th gen, 4 cores, 6 mb cache) processor and 500 watts supply power. I am an industrial product designer, from time to time I do 3D modelling and rendering, but most of the time photo editing, video editing and audio post-production I make for my projects. Ever sinCe I bought my pc, I've dreamed of upgrading the parts of it to the fullest potential the current motherboard allows. Right now I think of investing to i7 7700K CPU, and also a CPU cooler. I checked the bottlebeck issue and it seems 'the graphics card is too weak for the 7700K.' Right now my build works pretty balanced, during processor intensive tasks my processor and gpu works together with only %8 performance difference from maximum. Do you think it is a worth investment to do or maybe I better expand my RAM capacity and get a m2.nvMe SSD, in the future when I have the money upgrade my system entirely... (I have micro ATX case) Which plan makes more sense? Thanks for your time.

I need your help. To chose laptop.

Ben G Kaiser can you do my 2laptop recomandations witch laptop would be nice in video editing? I can send you 2laptops

Would be interested to see if a Precision 7500 series or Think P series would thermal throttle less?

Can I buy GTX 1650 for my i7 3770 ?

So my PC has started freaking out while video editing, importing clips into software is slower than usual, sometimes while the software is open windows wont play videos, I get black screen, is this a GPU issue ? Or CPU ... videos on the web will also flicker unless they are full screen :(

when it comes to the render nothing beats multiple gpus for heavy work loads. I would rather have 6x 3080s on a mining board with a core i5 then a couple 3080s with a 32 core and a 1500 dollar motherboard anyday. It wasnt untill I had 48 gigs of gpu did davinci stop booting me out or resetting

thank you for this 🙏

Thanks for the video. It is very informative and explains well why there should be a right balance between picking a gpu and cpu.

use a mic

Is the 4k playback only trash when editing? I Just want to save some 4k videos on my laptop and watch them. Does gpu matter in this scenario or us the cpu enough?

So, the CPU is like a Thinker, and GPU is like an Artist.
Thinker can arrange task to the best person like Artist to finish an art. Thinker can do the art themselves, but only by trying so hard with a lot of time to finish the same task. But GPU can do it in faster time. GPU/Artist can't do or start the task without the order from CPU. that means GPU will always need CPU, but CPU will need GPU for more efficient working process.

Which would you choose for Premiere Pro and After Effects

I5 11600k
I7 11700k
I9 11900k
I7 10700k

Nvidia RTX 3070
Nvidia RTX 3080

Kingston or Corsair brand
32 or 64 GB
2666 2933 3200 mhz which mhz?

Thanks

Just purely looking at smooth playback (i don't care much about rendering time as i can just leave it and move on to work on another computer), would you buy a laptop with stronger GPU or stronger CPU? I got offer of i5 10300H + RTX3060 and R5 5600H cpu + RTX3050ti around same budget price point.

You have made everything absolutely clear. Thanks a lot bro

I really wanted this info, thank you

how do I find out this CPU matches the GPU. like how should look at the performance

I've been editing my videos with an integrated GPU via AMD for so long, I can't wait to upgrade to a dedicated GPU. Like, really excited.

4 core cpu + Rtx 3060 OR 6 core cpu + Gtx 1650?

Sad my laptop is so old. I rendered a 2 min 4k video without any effects and it took me 27 min.🤣 I need a new laptop for video editing 🙊🙈🙉

downclock is basically because of avx.

gpu is always faster

So ryzen with 1660ti or i7 with 2060

I Needed this video so bad Thanks

Uffff amigo gracias. ill make a monster in your honor lol. I'll get the 5900amd what GPU cost-benefit you will recommend me hi from Tijuana 🇲🇽 Mexico

Sir can you give link for wallpaper used on dell XPS?

Hello hope you can find this and help answer my question. Do i require a graphics card when changing video format say mp4 to mkv or is it all cpu?

So I need a "Yoked" computer..... i'll go tell the Geek Squad for a YOKED computer! lol

great video, very informative for me, thanks👍😀✌️

Or maybe, if you would like to video editing and rendering on a laptop, you need to buy a high-end laptop with top cooling performance and not that fancy sh*tcakes...
If you have a laptop with high performance cooling ( like in many gaming laptops) you can forget the thermal throttling... :)

this guy talks like Marty McFly

Ok so I have 1,000 to spend on the pc... and am going to be focusing on content creation but will also be gaming... So what gpu and cpu would you recommend.

This has been very helpful. Thanks.

Use screen recorder for laptop bro..

Does this video apply to PCs? I don't really care about laptops for heavy editing.

that laptop on the edge is giving me brain damage pls put ur stuff in a secure place

In your personal opinion, do you think that the Ryzen 3900x CPU will pair well with the GEFORCE RTX 3070 for solid playback speeds? Also, do you think I would be better off with liquid cooling (kraken x63) vs. air cooling (Noctua NH-D15) to get the most performance out of my CPU with overclocking?

I'm about to build my first PC and wish to have the best experience while editing footage in premier pro, so the last thing I want to do is drop $2000 on a new build and experience the same aches and pains I have right now with my 2014 Macbook Pro. It is beyond aggravating to see choppy playback when editing footage, so I would preferably like to eliminate this at all costs.

Great video. Now that you defined the borders and opened the discussion, would you recommend any one of the new NVIDIA GPUs (RTX 3070, 3080, ...)? My assumption would be the CPU is already high performance enough (like Intel i7-9900K 5Ghz) and edition is performing on RTX 20 series (Like 2070 Super).

hi thanks for the video If you had to choose between a ryzen 5 3600xt with a gtx 1660 super or a ryzen 7 3700x with a gtx 1650, which one would you choose?

Is i5 8300h with rtx 2060 good?

My gpu is not picking up any of the load during editing or playback. But my CPU is maxed out. I have an rtx2080. I also have the settings set to use GPU for rendering and playback. I have the latest version of premiere pro and Nvidia drivers. Why is my gpu not picking up the load?

Ryzen 5 3600 + 1660 super
Ryzen 7 2700 + Rtx2060

What should i use for streaming and editting? Note: ryzen 7 2700 is cheaper in my area

Excellent video! I've been reading and watching a lot of GPU and eGPU tests lately and they all more or less say the same thing. This video really addresses some of the unmentioned limitations. I'd be curious as to how much of a speed boost one could get by adding an exterior fan to the bottom of the laptop.

Thanks Ben for the informative video! I am getting a Dell XPS 17, i7-10750H, 16gb RAM, 1TB SSD, and GTX1650 Ti. I will be mainly doing 4K video editing of around 10 to 15 min in Davinci Resolve. Is this combo good enough in terms of playback smoothness and export time? Thanks a lot.

Im going to buy Lenovo Legion 4800h +gtx 1650 16 ram! is it enough for light video editing ? and om going to use paid davinci resolve?

Will I have bottleneck issues with an i7 10875H paired with a Quadro RTX 3000? Is this CPU too fast for the GPU, when it comes to video editing?

I understand the basics of CPUs: i7 is the best (aside from i9 maybe), H suffix is better, more GHZ is better, intel 10th gen and Ryzen 3rd gen is most current. But what about GPUs? Any good resources on the GPUs available and what's best?

Bro this video is amazing thank you so much I learned a lot!
