Thank you for the reply its very helpful. I have some follow up questions

For perspective my current rig is

rtx 2070 super

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

ddr4 ram

slower SSD’s

I also film with an FX3 and I Record in 4k 60fps H.265

I was hoping to see a big boost in timeline speed and rending mostly based off the new CPU and faster cache drive

for the MOBO I decided to get the Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite X is that a good choice?

When you say DaVinci is faster to be more specific are we talking timeline speed, Effects speed or final render out speed? for me the most important is the timeline speed.

Can i get away with a 1TB SSD cache drive? if i just delete it constantly. Gen5 4tb are expensive now.

Also will a see a noticeable timeline speed boost going from 7000mbs gen4 to 11000mbs gen5

I have never heard that before about HDD, how would a 8TB HDD slow down my whole system if its just for back ups not running any projects of it.

I did watch a Youtube video proving that the AMD cards are actually better now for rendering h.265/H.264 videos for PP. I was just a little worried switching from NVIDA because of adobe support. I didn’t know AMD supported CUDA now.

The 4070 TI prices having been dropping so the 7900 xtx cost about 34% more here than the 4070TI so its a fair bit more. What would the render speed increase be approx? if its only 5 to 10 percent maybe not worth the cost.

Thank you

I’m thinking of changing the MOBO to the Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite X AX?

[Matt Kipis]

I just dont understand why does my GPU usage hit 100 percent when i preview CC motion blur it must use it somewhat?

Im already previewing at quarter resolution, is it possible to preview lower then that?

what is pre rendering?

thank you

[Matt Kipis]

Also I use Warp stabilizer with every clip too

[Matt Kipis]

thank you for your reply.

I have Mercury GPU acceleration cuda enabled

it occurs when handling video footage, not with images or layers.

I have 2 monitors connected to the GPU via HDMI and display port.

How much RAM (from the GPU) is dedicated for AE usage? how do i check this

[Matt Kipis]

It seems if i put a solid layer over the video footage it doesn’t freeze. So it has something to do with video footage being shown in my composition.

Can warping make waves move forward?

[Matt Kipis]

Hello yes the camera may move a little bit maybe zoom out. It will only be short footage maybe 4 seconds long. The issue isn’t so much just making the water move a little its more the waves as that needs to move forward? any ideas are welcome.
