Hi Ian. Glad we could contribute. Regarding our current motherboard. Its great, really. Not a single crash or anything, easy to config and setup.
I reckon the bios is pretty much the same as your’s to be honest. I would advise though, to get a separate RAID controller if you have several drives, the Marvell 6Gbs controller is absolutely horrendous compared to the Intel. Even in RAID-0 the Marvell 6Gbs struggles to reach the speeds of a single drive in the Intel 6Gbs. I am absolutely clueless as to why ASUS dosent just have only Intel RAID controllers on their boards. Would be much better.

But no, no issues in terms of errors. 🙂 And now yes, they added the support for the new Xeons with the latest bios update, so we can just switch over to the 2697 V2 when we want, and on that note; I will test our system with Arion now, note the results and test again when we get the extra TITANS and CPU 🙂

Right, screenshot or it didint happen as they say. Ran the test again, as I forgot the screeny the first time around. Lost 1 sec which makes it 3:13 now.

P.S Everything in our system is stock. No OC at all on any of the parts.

Should I just use the test in the first post and convert the project to CC? no fidling with anything? just export out?

Thanks for the quick reply! And a good one it was! Really helpful. Will be coming back to this site in the future for sure.

Again thanks!

Hey guys. Me and my partner are planning to invest in a new computer for video editing, mostly used for AE, Premiere and also Resolve. We would like to know what you think of our planned system and its components, suggestions, and what you would change/rather use. We are a little unsure of some of the components, mostly the gfx’s, which we would hope you could help us out with.

First the system

GFX – 1x EVGA GeForce GTX Titan – 6GB
RAM – Kingston 64GB DDR3 1600MHz (8×8)HyperX
HDD – 2x Intel 520 SSD Series – 240GB
ROM – 1x Lite-On iHBS312 – BR-R & DVD±RW – Black
CPU – 1x Intel Core i7-3930K Sandy Bridge-E
CPU Cooler – Phanteks PH-TC14CS CPU Cooler – Blue
STORAGE – Western Digital WD Green – 3TB 2x
MOBO – ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
PSU – Corsair AX1200i – 1200W PSU

What we are most unsure of, is the gfx choice. Is our Titan choice the best card for pure performance for AE, premiere and resolve?

How does the 690GTX fare against the TITAN? And finally how do the Quadros 4000-6000 compare to the two mentioned geforces?

Thanks for your kind help guys. Much appriciated.
