History of render crashes with GPU, put GPU-accelerated fx to most of the clips, any workarounds?

Yea, you can really go crazy adding lots of stuff. Personally for $4K I’d buy a Mac Pro but I digress… 😉 the point is you see how they are showing you industry standard parts that you can buy off the shelf and assembling and testing the unit for you. For anyone who is not a builder but want’s a custom built PC, these boutique builders are the next best thing to doing it yourself. I’ve sent several friends to iBuyPower and they’ve been very happy with the build quality.
