Henry Gentles Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Just bought an AMD Ryzen 1700 CPU @ 3000mhz and a cheap msi am4 mobo + 32gig ddr4. It's the new way cheap 8 core chip and it edits 4k like a charm no more stutters, super smooth. My old i5 was terrible. Anyway if you haven't heard look up the Ryzen CPU's they're a bargain 8 Core (16 threads) and a no brainer esp. for editing needing to upgrade. Even with an 8gig 1070 videocard my i5 2500k didn't like 4k at all. btw I bought the Ryzen 1700 because it's the cheaper cpu and it overclocks easily to 3.9mhz with stock cooler with no fuss.

Might you add the full list of components for that hardware combo? Links, if possible, they could also be rather helpful. Thanks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbp Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Nice! I'm still using an old sandy bridge 2600k and I need an upgrade. My card is a gtx570 with 1.2gigs of ram, so it's always crashing and causing problems with 4K footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is when you upgrade one thing, you really Need to upgrade about Everything in the damn computer. That can get Damn expensive!

dbp Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I know I've been putting off editing system upgrades in favor of lenses and lights, but I think it's time to pay some much needed attention to the ol' girl. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not I upgrade about every two years. But I build my own so it is not that much to do it cost wise. And I don't ever buy anything new, but used on Amazon like last years latest and greatest. Cost me around like 700 bucks to do it. Just buy a big ass power supply and a big ass case and that part last for hell years and years. You can mostly use your old hard drives, SSD's. Memory last 3 to 4 yeas before it is outdated. So pretty much just need different Mother Board, CPU, and a GPU to stay pretty much up to date. And if you stay with say Intel maybe even the Motherboard will still be usable with the newer CPU, GPU. They don't out date the CPU socket that fast. I have some new goodies here I bought last month to update. Been about 18 months ago since I last did it. Just haven't got to doing it. Went Intel this time. i7, 7700. Going to build a Hackintosh this go around. Really helps to use a Intel GPU to do it. I ALWAYS use MSI overclocked video cards. Best there is. Went with a 1070.

dbp Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I am the same, been building my own. I used to do a big upgrade like clock work every 3 years since 2001. This has been the longest I've gone without one (5 years). Harder to afford for me now. Would need a new cpu/mobo/ram/gpu at this point. Definitely on my list of priorities. Thinking about getting a better fan to at least overclock my 2600k but I dunno if I can be bothered. Buying a 1060 6gb in a few days to at least help with the 4k instability.

Curtis Ross Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Never had the problem editing 4k like others have had with my I7 i built. Now the problem is my PNY QUADRO K2200 isnt supported my Premiere CC anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webrunner5 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 This the case I use and my HP 30" sIPS 2k monitor. It can hold 13 hard drives! Unit on top is a Blu-Ray read, write player from Lacie. My 16x19" Canon Photo printer on the right, Pro 100, Death Adder mouse, only way to go. And I use an OLD, like me, Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. Since I am a gamer also highly recommend one, when you get old like I am you will Regret Not using one trust me!!! I run with 32gig of memory also. But that is because I am a Gamer. You really Only need 16gig for Video. Where you need as many gig as you can afford is on the Video Card, GPU. Try for 6 gig, 8 gig if you are well, well off LoL. I have seen no real worth the effort for Dual Video cards with video editing. Now gaming, hell yes, bridged they work well at keeping your FPS at 60 or more. dbp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff CB Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm very interested in Ryzen for my next upgrade, but trying to hold off for now until I need it. As usual, I need more lighting before I invest in my rig more. I want a 1080 ti, but it is not a need (Or so I keep telling myself). Hoping AMD can come out swinging for Nvidia with their next GPU as well. Currently: AMD R9 Fury X Intel i7-5820K 3.3 @ 4.2 ghz 32gb Ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if you stick with AMD you could also get the ryzen 1800x, if money is not that big of a deal and squeeze a little bit better performance out of it, if you go the intel route you could go a bit faster, but the budget would increase a lot also) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, you might want to see how Vega performs too. Lol definitely was not considering 1080 ti because of it's price/performance, only because it's the most powerful current card under $1000. Fury X's are actually quite powerful and I grabbed my for $280 when the 1080 came out. Very satisfied with it's editing performance and quiet operation. SO I'm trying to hold off to the next round of GPU's. Maybe get a second FURY X, but added power+Crossfire issues make be hesitate. If your going for purely editing, I honestly think the RX 480 is the best card for price/performance currently available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stab Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 My specs. I7 Ivy Bridge (3770) / 12 GB mem / GTX 1060 6GB. By no means a high-end system, just decent. I can edit the native GH5 footage (4k 50fps) fine with no stuttering or lag in Premiere CC 2017. Actually, even my laptop (i7 4700HQ / GTX 760m) with far fewer horsepower gets the job done with lag-free playback at 100% resolution. So I guess the only advantage for me to upgrade my CPU / Mainboard / RAM now would be shorter rendering and exporting times, if I plan to use this camera for the next years, which I am. How are you experiences with GH5 footage and your computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liork Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Are you all using Premiere or another Software? The Hardware have a different effect on different Software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
