Pentium K Adobe Premiere Pro CC - Problems!!

[mediamatt]

Hi,

I am tinkering with Adobe Premiere Pro CC with a view to learning how it all works and making some family films/movies.

My spec is Intel Pentium K over-clocked to 4.2ghz and 8gb ram. I have no graphics card so use the onboard.

I have just done a short movie and its so choppy. The video and audio stutters and generally looks rubbish. The cpu is 99-100% all the time when its playing/rendering.

Is it likely to be the processor with it only being a dual core or is it because i dont have a dedicated graphics card so the processor is having to do everything.

I've decided to order a Gigabyte Windforce GTX960 4Gb and see if that does it. If not , at least i can game on this setup.

It'll depend on what type of footage you're dealing with but Premiere doesn't generally put a lot of stress on a GPU - it's all about the CPU and ram. A dual core CPU, even overclocked, will struggle.

Oh well ive ordered it now. If it doesnt make much difference then ill upgrade the processor too.
