What things are you currently finding run too slow/poorly?

Do you know where the bottleneck is, in the majority of tasks that run too slow/poorly?

Would recommend watching this:

NVIDIA RTX 4070 and 4060 Ti (8GB) Content Creation Review

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 and 4060 Ti (8GB) are the most recent additions to NVIDIAs consumer family of GPUs on their Ada Lovelace Architecture. How do they compare for content creation against their previous generation counterparts?

I'm doing this right now for a friend, he's pretty much got the same spec machine as the OP, but with SATA SSD's, and the 2070 is a Super variant, and a nice X570 board. Cleaned up his old machine and popped some RGB fans in it for him, and he's got a buyer lined up for £475, which is good money for the both parties.

The £475 will get him the 4070 Super, he's got a B650-E board he bought open box for £90, and £600 will get him the rest of what he needs. So ~700-750 for an entire new platform with a vastly better CPU, GPU, and memory subsystem, he was going to buy a 5950X and a 3060 12GB for over £500 less whatever he got for his CPU and GPU, so maybe £225 at a push? Either way he's happy.

Also I feel that if you are stuck in the Adobe eco system you need to weight up both CPU and GPU since they are shifting from one to the other. Other option is get a Mac :p
 
Premiere benefits from qsv in Intel cpus doesn't it? Iirc that why gamers nexus or ltt uses Intel in editing rigs instead of amd.

Other than that point, which may be old information or miss remembered, you're just going to want the highest cpu and gpu you can afford, as it'll eat it up
 
Hi, I’m a pro Editor cutting long form docs for TV / Streaming (think Planet Earth).

I move around edit suites, but am never happier than when I’m on a Mac Studio. The Z8’s etc should be good, but I find them laggy in comparison. My home suite is also a Studio.

Personally, I would look at storage. A large RAID array to work from will effectively make you system agnostic, making any upgrades / moves easier going forward. I also find that Prem reacts so much better when using really good, fast storage. The LaCie Big Discs, G-Raids etc if you want desktop storage, or a 10GbE server if you want to go all in (could even build your own for cheap).

If you are after components, then more RAM. I often exceeded 64gb on my old intel iMac, so 128gb would be my min.
