Use of computer resources by NLEs
Hello all, Here’s my question. Resolve is running very slow for me. Folks have advised selling my new 2019 iMac 3.6 Hz computer, replacing the Fusion drive, replacing the 575X Radeon Pro GPU (4 G), replacing my Firewire ext drives . . . Is Resolve just too demanding for ordinary computer resources? Does Premiere function with less demand on the computer and its parts? How about other NLEs? No one seems to talk about this. Thank you, Robert

Generally speaking, Resolve relies much more on the GPU than Premiere. Premiere’s load balance is heavily shared by the CPU. I would say a higher end processor is needed for Premiere, and a solid mid-range CPU and GPU are needed for Resolve. Also, don’t forget about memory. I would recommend having 32GB of RAM for better performance regardless.
