- Do you need a high end gpu if you are a video editor? Or can you just settle for a low end card and save some cash? In this video I explore the differences between a GTX 950 and a GTX 1070ti to really show the similarities and differences in both Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve.
Thank you, very informative. Not a lot of info like this about video editing - all about games these days so thanks!
true true
I was thinking the same thing. 99% of videos are about the video game performance which can be misleading / uninformative
Great video man.. I like how you actually showed your live experience of editing on the timeline. I feel like that is NEVER shown in videos but I always wish it would be.
Great video man,,,,!!!! Man ?! Is it ?Are you trying be funny or insulting ? Just look at him .....I bet he believe as milk came from the shop and women it is a strange face appears on mobile phone screen on strange websites
100% best video on the net explaining the use of a faster GPU, especailly the stuff regarding VRAM.
Thanks for the advice. Looks like I will go with a RX570 or RX580 8GB version for either not 4GB so that I dont run out of VRAM as indicated in video. Great help :)
In my exp even on my old ddr3 1gb video card i never got that message.
hopefully all ahaha Buying that graphics card here in my country is hard to avail I got only 100 dollar
T . T
Exactly what I needed to learn for a first editing Pc Build !!!! great job , you are a hell of a teacher !!!! Thanks a bunch :O))
Good video dude! Appreciate the live view of the premiere pro timelines! You're only the second person I've seen do that and that's the majority of my work time. You should add text overlays for which card, software and resolution at all times so in case someone pauses or misses you saying the name it's clear what you're talking about.
Bro! Ive been struggling with rendering out my 4k videos with heavy plugins (Red Giant Universe Transitions, Neat Video Noise Redution, Color Correction) for months! Finally somebody that can explain what is going on. Only running a 1050ti i believe with 4gb vram, considering upgrading to atleast 8gb of vram. Thank you so much! Also very good video and presentation, subscribed!
I've been searching for that kind of video... thanks bro, what I could watch videos about GPU are all video game related ones.
This is a video that helped me.... Exactly the type of description and walkthrough I needed. Tahnks.
I'll second that. Got into details I haven't seen on other channels to give the experience of playback / scrubbing I wanted to understand.
Really great video man, I have to say that I wasn't expecting such a great presentation, subtle humor, and scientific testing methodology, and no time wasting from a ~1K sub channel. This topic was also something that really needed to be addressed. I really don't feel like I overkilled it by buying an RTX 2080 Ti for video editing now. Maybe the new Tensor and RTX cores could also provide additional functionality while working with 3D effects.
Subbing because you seem to cover very unique topics. :)
Ooh, it'd be nice to see video software start taking advantage of those tensor cores, I might have to upgrade to rtx myself if that were to happen. Anyways, thanks man!
@@SolidStateTech btw I edit on after effects so all I do is cache before playback so a gtx 970 4gb is fine tbh
I am really new to editing, this video was really really helpful, showing the ACTUAL examples between cards. Thank you for your effort !
This is HOW video editing Review should be Done. The "reviewers" all think that us video editors all do is Render.
They never count the Process and Experience of Video editing itself which is 90% of the work and 10% Rendering.
Video playback loads the video to your videocard during the editing proc.
Its not all about cpu!
While gaming Rigs are GPU heavy.
A Video editing Rig should be a well balance between the Cpu and GPU.
Not Just CPU heavy like all this "reviewers" are saying.
Fast Renders are good, but thats not everything!
When it comes to basic video editing/making especially in this era of streaming, I reckon 24 frames per second is really all you need. 4K seems unnecessary in this current age as, for example, there is no reason to watch THIS video in 4K. And many consumer-grade cameras, while capable of 1080p and above, really look like 720p scaled up. Often times the quality just isn't there to justify the resolution. Now, I suppose if you're using professional equipment and producing a work of art, high resolution is great although I'll still argue you don't need to go above 24fps as it breaks the illusion. (Fine if you're doing video gaming, documentary, or action footage though) Considering so many people are watching TH-cam on their phones and embedded in websites, I just don't see high-resolution viable from a utilitarian standpoint most of the time. And not to mention the compression!
One of the reasons I love traditional film is you can scan the original film reel and produce high-resolution remasters. Bought a copy of Total Recall on Blu-Ray and it was just amazing to see the natural grain of the film considering I had only ever seen it on VHS as a child. Damn, film is just an all-around interesting thing. Then you go into topics like lighting, sound, and cinematography which most of TH-cam is missing.
For editing, you can create low-rez proxies. Although I'm too lazy to make proxies :P
Anyway, good video, dude! Thanks for actually putting in the effort with this one. (Another thing youtube is missing. Your channel isn't huge because TH-cam prefers quantity over quality and I know you're not willing to pump out garbage like most people) Cheers!
I disagree. 4k and QHD are close to replacing 1080P and why not future proof your videos? I like your argument about details tho. You must take into consideration downscaling as while 1080p monitors obviously wont display 4k, due to the higher bitrates that youtube outputs on 4k, downscaling can reduce artifacting, and yes its noticeable. Another thing is zooming in on shots however i guess your lack of details argument can apply here too.
@@bigturn1051 For the sake of TH-cam, I think most people will be ok at 720p. I mean, unless cinematography is your hobby or you're making more than the typical 'video blog' of a head in front of a camera. For most people, the basic smart phone is more than enough. For now at least. And given the transient nature of youtube, I"m afraid, unless you're working on a project that won't go down with youtube, the basics suffice.
@@MikeHunt-wl4ye Depends on the audience. Most tech audiences love watching hi res even on youtube and many tech channels are putting out 4K content all the time with nothing fancy going on in the content except product reviews. I checked 4K content streaming on my 1080p monitor and very fine detail does come through if one is interested in that sort of thing. I agree with @Big turn that 1080p is being challenged and may well go out of fashion sooner than we expect .. directly to 4K. 1440p is a gaming interim resolution which will also be replaced by 4K sooner than we think. Cheers, interesting topic.
I'm using a 960, wondering buy a rx580 8gb
But after your video I'll go for a 1070 ti
Tks!!!
Thank you. Honestly not sure why the dislikes. This help a lot! Keep it up :D
Thank you for the specific examples sir! Other videos I've seen just go over really basic crap. This gives you actual examples and advice
Nice explanation.
Everyone has their way of editing, but you do not need as many layers for text. Rather than use a new layer, or video track, for each line if text you are adding, just use your first “ line” save it as text1a, then edit that and add your text line name it text1b. And so on, drop it on the time line on the same track.
I’m new to this so I could be wrong, but I thought the amount of RAM & CPU cores are a bigger factor than a video card with video editing. Or maybe that’s true but you do ALSO need a powerful video card.
Building my first PC specifically for video editing and this video here really saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you for this one
What components did you decide to buy?
currently playing around with possible builds & this video helped me out a TON, thanks!
simplest explanation .subscribed . keep on the great work .
My problem has been answered on this channel, thx
Finally! Someone made a content like this. Thanks man.
Well, if you really want to use Premiere PRO with gtx950, you can try to edit by proxy. That will actually let you edit in some pretty comfortable manner. The only issue is to prepare proxy clips, and for large amount of clips can take quite a time.
Can you go and tell the other video card reviewers how to demonstrate video editing performance? This is by far the best video on this topic I've ever seen.
I also read that Davinci uses a more balanced mix of CPU & GPU resources whereas Premiere uses one more than the other. I forget which.
thanks for the video, you covered a one I was looking for in a nice way.
thanks for this video my man...i am going to build a budget editing pc.. cpu will probably be a ryzen 3 3300..i am going to buy a used graphic card..i am a bit confused between radeon rx 580 8gb and gtx 1060 6gb..is the rx better for video editing because it has 2 extra gigs..i do read on the internet sometimes that nvidia cards perform better for editing and especially adobe premier pro..i dont know..
what do you suggest..
@Guilherme Montenegro bought a 5600x and rtx 3060 😶
superb lesson on the video editing and choices to be made among myriads of graphics cards in the market !
Thanks for this!
I own a RX560 4Gb ram. It's the card I use on my animations (you guys can check on my channel)
While usually it's ok, if I abuse in the number of models and/or if i make a buggy model, it will suffer. And on this I notice my 4GB Vram is always topping.
I guess I shall be ok with a RX 5500 XT 8gb instead... Similar performance to an RX580 and requires less power from the PSU
You deserve way more subs !! My budget doesn't allow me to go for Gtx 1070. What would you suggest for usual 1080p editing, and occasional 4k - Gtx 1060 3gb /Rx 580 4gb/ Rx 570 4gb ?
Honestly for 1080p any of those cards would be plenty enough, for 4k you're gonna wanna get as much vram as you can
Well done, spec sheets does not really show the real onscreen results like this did. Answered my questions about upgrading and what to expect.
Underrated Video.
Thanks for this man!. Great explanation.
Thank u bro very informative for me, havin a hard time choosing a bare minimum GPU for video editing and ur vid helped me out a lot
If you are not a gamer, a quadro m4000 or p4000 would probably be your best bet. Way cheaper than the gaming GPUs (gamers and miners don't want these) and amazing performance in both Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. I own the m4000 and I can do anything I want with it. Again, you can't game on those, unless you play CS GO, Fortnite, and League of Legends.
Hey Bud!! Great Vid. So hear me out. I have a 3800X, with 32 GB's of RAM clocked at 3600 Mhz. My boot drive is a Corsair MP510 240 GB NVMe as my OS drive, an EVO 860 500 GB as my scratch and file drive, and a 1TB HDD. Originally I had a GTX 1660 Twin Frozr Model. I prolly included the card in 3 of my videos. Now, I'm always buying cards because I flip PC's for profit and also as content for my channel. I got a 1070, and was curious if it was better then the 1660. Here's what I noticed, the GTX 1660 rendered my effects (Transitions, Lower Thirds, MOGRTS) paired with my 3800X so fast. Now the 1070 was way better in games, and game benchmarks, but when it came time to render that red line LOL it's fine but no where near as fast as my 1660. I sold the 1660 in a build. I honestly beleive the NVENC ENCODER in the touring series of cards is what made the 1660 so much faster. I'm seriously considering getting a 2070 Super, or an RTX 2060 KO or 2060 Super. Also, i'm upgrading to a Gen 4 OS drive. Prolly 1 TB, then I'm going to install Premiere on the MP510 and once again use the Evo as a scratch drive. Do you think the 2070 Super, would be a big upgrade from the 1070 when rendering effects? If you want to go check out my newest video as an example (RX 580 Video) you'll see what I mean, I use alot of effects. But I also record at 1080P because the auto focus at 4K on my Canon isn't so great. Anyway, great video, i'm sorry for it being such a rant, but i'm curious what your thoughts are on my situation. Thanks!!
I think you might have answered an issue I keep running into with rendering and playback on my 970! Thanks for the video :)
Amazingly helpful. Thank you.. And hi from Istanbul.
Hey that was a really good video. Many youtube videos don't show first time builders what they may expect to see on there timeline they just show graphs and statistics which doesn't help. But I found your video to help me see how the graphics card affects the timeline so I say to you well done. And I will subscribe to your channel
You did everything right in this video man, GOOD FORM guy ! I’m kinda new with computers so this helped me a lot. My camera is a Sony A7rii and my pc is an AMD zen 7 3700. 32 🐏 and I was just using the pc for publishing and making prints of my oil paintings but now I need to make a high quality video for my daughters application into college. My monitor is the benq sw 271 ( 4K hdr ) and because it is 10 bit color I know I have to get either Nvidia quadro, amd fire pro or I think amd Radeon pro....? But what exact one is what is killing me here, not much left in my production budget and I was thinking you would be the guy to ask, thanks for your help bro
Your video looks great, but you need some acoustic reinforcement. Get a few of those foam pads and stick them on your walls. Watch a TH-cam video for placement, lay down a rug if needs be place a larger 2”x4” foam above yourself, and grab some corner wedges and place them in the corners Centers to your head level while recording videos. Depending on your room setup place a bookshelf (full of books) behind the camera. Your videos will sound 1000x better. Will cost you maybe $200. Good luck, good video. (I’m not trying to come across in a negative way, just adding my advice as an audio engineer and I hope it helps)
I've never been able to edit that good. I always add a lot of effects to mine. Gonna try to pick up a vega card on the cheap to get more done than a gtx 1060 6gb.
From what I understood, Rendering is all about your CPU. Its the live stuff that makes the GPU stand out, like scrubbing the timeline and video game.
This helps a lot! Thanks :)
This is what I needed. You deserve more subs
Quick tip, don't silently "shout" at the camera, be sure to use your loud strong voice instead of a fake one.
This was helpful, I have 8 layers on a video I’m trying to work on but it’s stuttering bad, I have to produce it to see the clips in full motion.
How do you not have way more subs?
He is waiting for you to do so.
@@ellooku Exactly
Great video, thank you for showing real world comparisons.
Glad i came across this video. Im in the process of building my video editing pc mostly using adobe premiere after affects and fruity loops, pro tools, logic pro x and gaming on the side. Ive chosen the ryzen 7 2700x msi b450 gaming pro ac what gpu should i go with? Not trying to cheap out on the main components as i want a stress free work flow mostly 1080p videos and 4k as well as i learn more. I chose ryzen bc of price and pretty much good reviews for video editing and didnt want to cheap out. Should i go with ryzen or switch to intel? What gpu should i go if i stay with ryzen?
Will be mostly doing hip hop/rap music videos and would like to have fx and stuff like that
2700x is a great CPU choice for video editing, GPU wise it really depends on your specific needs and workflows, if you want a middle ground I would say maybe 1060 6g or the new 1660ti (depending on pricing/availability)?
Solid State Tech max ill spend is 400 or so no more than 500
Nice, really good to see the vram differences. I would love if one of the big tech channels with the resources to test more cards and variables. Like vram vs cuda cores. Sadly I can't find that information. I'm looking at upgrading from a 4GB GTX970 and I'm wondering if I should get something with more than 8Gb of Vram. I know 8 will be fine for most of my 4k video work but I sometimes work at higher resolutions with Ae compositions. If I go 8Gb how much difference will I see between a 10 series card and a 30 series card? If anyone knows where I can find this information please let me know. Thanks
I can edit 1080p 60fps in intel hd 4000 smoothly
What CPU do you have?
Im going to need a new graphics card then. 3060 for me, and the 1070 Ti will be given to my editor. hes struggling with his machine
Hey boss . . NEED HELP . . Will a rtx2060 work for premiere . . .I read In a few places that there might be issues . . It's either the rtx2060 or gtx1660ti and I want to get rtx2060 . . . .Please get back to me I want to order asap and I'm stressed cuz it's my first build
I see no reason why it wouldn't work?
@@SolidStateTech thanks for response!. . Final question . If I buy used and it's close to new with receipt. Would warranty be an issue ?
Again, I don't see why not
Maybe I missed it, but what CPU were you using? What codec were you using? What storage device were the files stored on (HDD, RAID, SSD, NVME)? Because even when it comes to live playback everyone always talks about the CPU and individual core speed. Based on this I'd be really interested to see what happens with my 4790k if I pair it with a 1070 I have been doing a ton of research as I'm about to build a new PC for editing. I have a "similar" set of hardware and access to some higher end hardware too. Maybe I'll make a supplemental comparison video as a follow up. Good topic and good coverage.
I was using a Ryzen 7 1700x and an SSD, but everything besides the GPU remained constant, so any differences shown are due to the GPUs
Great video! You explained everything very well and now I know what I needed to know. Subscribed :)
good video few talk about this. But you also have to remember the cpu cores play a role in your playback. It is not only the GPU. More important is your cores. I run 4 cores, I bet when I get the 8600 or whatever with 6 cores on any mid to high graphic card it will play 4k without dropping.
Actually while more cores will help with rendering, having faster cores will help with playback (except in GPU accelerated tasks like lumetri). So for video editing you want a lot of fast cores AND a decent GPU for best results
Perfect video for me! haha. I have the GTX 950 and thinking about upgrading. I've been staying away from 4K though. I dont think I can avoid 4K any longer and its time to upgrade. What do you think about the GTX 1660 Super?
Nice video SST, thanks for sharing. Am I correct that your videos were all rendered out with GPU Acceleration (CUDA) enabled? GTX950 at 768 CUDA cores vs 1070ti at 2432 CUDA cores. If it were me I would have hoped for a much more noticeable improvement in render time given the massive difference in CUDA cores :/
Believe it or not... All my videos are made with a laptop
CPU :Intel Pentium B960 2x2Ghz
iGPU:Intel HD Graphics. RAM: 4GB DDR3
Sometimes it was bag but I managed to use it to export my 1080p videos.
That sounds painful
@@SolidStateTech it is! But I same time I know how to manage RAM more efficiently!
Really helped me bro. You've earn a sub! Great video
There is a bug in Nvida and Da Vinic Revolve , to stop the vram filling up you you need to set DVR to Cuba then that iusses should stop. thanks for above video very interesting.
Really good video and editing well this was very helpful Keep up the good work!
Exactly what i was looking for!
You don’t need all those layers for some of those edits. There are a lot of ways you can cut corners in this editing.
very well explained! thank you :)
I know this is an old video by now, but I'd be interested in your opinion. So I currently edit on a Ryzen 2600x, but it's paired with a GTX 760. No, that wasn't a typo!! I've been wanting to upgrade it for some time now, it only has 2Gb VRAM, and I WAS going to pull the trigger on an RTX 2060 Super, but then held off when I heard rumours a few months back of the impending Ampere series. I'm wondering though, I see that I can currently pick up a GTX 1660Ti brand new for a very reasonable price, so I'm torn; should i make the jump to a 1660Ti, wait for clearance deals to arrive on the RTX range and possibly even snag a RTX 2070, or hold out for Ampere, which, if the rumours are anything to go by, sounds very promising indeed!! Decisions, decisions!!
Thanks for the effort. It was very helpful. 😊👏
SOLID video mate. Thank you! 👍😊
You are one of few people that talk to fast for 2x speed watching👌
Good video. So I'm looking at getting a ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 Overclocked 6GB for video editing. I use Resolve, Premier Pro and After Effects, do you think in your opinion that would be a decent card? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Shouldn't have any issues
Hello bro• amd ryzen 3700 and gtx 1650 is enough for 4k editing?????? Hope you can answer my question?
Are there any video editing software packages that use system ram instead of GPU ram?
Great video ! I was looking for a review with timeline playback ! Much more interesting than rendering time in my opinion. But I didn't catch one thing, what CPU are you using with that ? It matters too in the equation. I might go with a gtx 1060 6go :)
I have a Ryzen 7 1700x
@@SolidStateTech Plus the amount of ram you have matters as well not just VRAm for editing as well! And cool I have a Ryzen 7 1700X as well! And I will be getting a least 32 GB of ram for my editing as with Sony Vegas Pro 14 or 16! Well since I'm fine with that for what I'm doing! And it's for the gaming task that I want to be able to do at the same time! Although I haven't finished my build yet thought at all! :D
@@SolidStateTech Although I don't do 4k videos at all! Since I only need to be able to do a least 1080p!! And 4k is just not my thing since I don't have enough space for it! And I'm only interested in 1080p, too also because it's cheaper in total resources that are needed to be able to use it!
Thanks, man. Solid video.
awesome video dude. loved it
lol seeing people complain about their pc dropping 5 frames makes me sad because half the time my pc drops 40-50 frames and cant even play the video... ):
Excellent video, thanks for sharing this information. I think I need to buy a graphics card for Lenovo ThinkCentre M920.
I'm on an nVidia GTX-980 Ti as I refuse to overpay for a used GTX-1080 over a mid range RTX-3060 if we could even get one. So should I shp for most Vram at a concern of as many Cuda cores as I utilize Adobe Creative suite. I want an RTX 20/30 anything w/ 6-8g vram for use of 3D, AI , Enhanced details and open up to potential added features.
Great video, very informative. I am still unsure as to which GPU to get! From your research it is clear that is depends on the type of videos I will be editing. I'm only going to be editing in 1080p, rarely 4k (in fact never), so which GPU should I go with? What other factors do I need to take into account for building a PC which I am doing at the moment for video editing?
That would be a whole other video in itself, too much to cover in a comment
Nice video man ,I was about to get a PC without GPU but apparently it's totally necessary, btw with what cpu did you run these test?
AMD Ryzen 7 1700x in an X370 motherboard with 24GB of DDR4 memory running at 2400mHz
I urgently need your advice. I’m running a lot of 1080p video editing and finally building a proper rig for it. So I’m looking to edit 4K with the new setup. On Premiere Pro and some AE stabilization. Which is a better pair up? Zotac 2060 6GB paired with Ryzen 5 3600X OR Sapphire Pulse RX5600XT 6GB with Ryzen 5 3600X OR Zotac 2060 6GB paired with Ryzen 7 3700X ? Gonna decide to buy in the next few hours.. TIA!
Heyyy ? :(
Any. I'd get a Ryzen 3600 + aftermarket cooler. The 3600x is basically is rated higher because of bundled cooler which isn't worth the extra. Any 2060 is very good. I'm saving $ and getting 1660ti or super because I believe it's enough for 4K
What do you think of GTX2080? I want to buy it for Editing 4k videos. Suggestions?
That should be more than enough, yeah
I have a rx 560 4gb oc and is working perfectly fine for 1080p video editing.
try rendering your AE motion tracking clip. Of course its going to skip frame with its not rendered. Your timeline should be green when fully rendered not the colors of the German flag LOL. Great video, thanks. Oh, one last thing, your videos are great. you need to have yourself mic'ed up. The information is great, you need better quality audio. Room noise is not a good sound to hear. Thanks for your presentation.
Thank you, very usefull !
The CPU matters in playback as much as the GPU though. What CPU are you using in this video?
im curious though. 4k and 1080 is lovely for movies and gaming however do we really need it for making videos for youtube?.?. Like if we are making a video were we need the detail due to needing to see small text on a circuit board or writing on a document ok 4k is probly a good idea though i dk if youd NEED it. So is it really worth the expenditure.
is radeon pro 5500 xt with 8gb good for video editing for 4k videos?
Instead of dropping a lot of cash on a high-end video card, why not just use the video editing software to generate a proxy file? That is what it is for so you are editing on the lower resolution file, and when you render the final product, that process is run against the raw source file.
i agree with the proxy file but i think the main problem was he cannot render his 4k in premiere pro using his old gpu? pardon my english
So if your Video contains ALOT of layers and motion trackers, like for exemple: Video Game montage, A better gpu is almost mandatory?
Also, what CPu did u use and did u use a 8gbRAM?
I had a Ryzen 7 1700x with 24gb of ram. Yeah for a lot of layers, effects, and high res footage you're gonna want a better gpu
Solid State Tech thank you
Great video. How much of this is resolved by using proxy workflows?
Hi there,
I'm considering buying the new HP Envy 32 inch AIO for better and faster video editing. But which option would you choose?
1) i7-9700 and GTX 1650 (I think mobile)
2) i7-9700 and RTX 2060 (I think mobile)
3) i7-9700 and RTX 2080 MaxQ
The price difference is really huge as every step up means 500 Euros.
I would like to buy a future proof machine but I don't know if spending 500-1000 more for a better GPU would be worth it (again - only preference for this PC is video editing with Premiere Pro 4k H264 and maybe H265 and most important fast flawless playback while editing)
Thank you very much!
Dude what kind of case is that on your PC in the background? Looks sweet!
I believe I already had the Cooler Master Master Case Maker 5 at this time, it should be that one
Solid State Tech awesome thanks!
Ryzen 5 1600 and RX 570 for 1080p video editing and running soft games like CS:GO or LOL?
Should work great yeah
Ahahahaha so wasting on the budget
Are you setting the video editing program to render with the CPU, GPU, or both?
Both
@@SolidStateTech I am using vegas and it sems to want to use either the cpu or gpu.
Hello! Nice Job! Which I choose for editing and rendering, under 250$? I have a Freesync monitor! Thanks
Thank you for the upload bro!!
I picked up an old PC with i5 4570, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD for around $45. I have the budget to upgrade to 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD & Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition. As of now I will edit only 1080p videos & may be a few 4k timelapse videos.
I would like to know whether it will be a worthwhile upgrade using these components.
With those upgrades you should be perfectly fine yes
@@SolidStateTech Thanks a lot 👍🏼
This is such a great video, and well presented. On Premiere Pro my 1080ti useage is like only 5% to 25% (max) when exporting videos, is this normal in your opinion?
Yes, gpu usage is technically going to be a low percentage, especially on a 1080 ti, but that doesn't mean it isn't doing a lot!
Thank you.
