funcionando Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Hello: Im planning to upgrade my rig to be capable to play DCS (flawlessly) but also to edit 5.7k videos from my 365 one x camera. 80% DCS 20% editing I will be playing at 1080 but in the near future change to 1440. I´m coming from an i5 3570k oc to 4.5gh 16gb nvidia 1080 and ssd I´m stuck wether to go to a ryzen 5 or 7 or intel (i5 or ...) I dont want to spend more than 1300-1500 EUR (i have the case and the psu from the last rig 750W) Any advice from someone that is in my same position would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Leaderface Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Wait a little for the Ryzen3 launch event. It´s coming. New PCI 4.0 NVMe SSDs?: just rounding the corner now..... and so on. It seems PCI 4.0 will be fully in use for storage and managing compresed textures maybe in a year, and Intel right now it´s not there yet (on desktop). You won´t want to waste money on an actual plattform in a couple of months (like the recent 2080Ti buyers seeing the Nvida recent launch event)
Leaderface Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 The rumours says October-Nov. timeframe for the AMD Ryzen3 launch. AMD had been trying for a long time to build those Ryzen3 on the TSMC N7+ node but the timeframe wasn´t optimal and I don´t know if they are waiting for such thing to happen or is something else, because they are delaying the launch. (On purpose or not). Next desktop thing on Intel will be Rocket Lake (but that timeframe is unknown at this time). But this year end will be crazy on announcements so things can change quickly.

Bufff...... I don't think I can wait so much:mad:. The thing is if a ryzen 7 will be enough with its clock speed to run dcs smoothly. If not I may have to reconsider the whole thing. Thx anyway
reece146 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 What video editing tool are you using? Video editing likes lots of cores. 5.7k video needs lots of cores. On this list I'd be considering 3800XT and 10700K unless you can afford more cores. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html Build the rest of the system time around that choice. You can spend the rest of your life waiting for the next best CPU. If you are spending hours and hours in front of the computer daily buy now and get immediate value.

People keep encoding video on CPU? I thought everybody were using the AVX encoder or the GPU ones. I heard they gain great amounts of encoding time and the quality is almost the same, but I don´t have experience on that.
reece146 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Depends. Adobe products leverage Intel QuickSync hence the question about tools.
funcionando Posted September 6, 2020 Author Posted September 6, 2020 thx reece. I will be using davinci resolve and insta 360 studio to edit the videos. The thing about amd is if it will handle DCS smoothly and beter than my actual i53570k OC @4.5ghz Thank you all for the valuable info.
