I'm thinking of getting or building a new computer especially for video editing using PD12 Ultimate. Any suggestions on specs especially video cards, motherboards, and CPU's? The one I have now is adequate for using Adobe Premiere Elements 10 & 11 but I just bought PD12U so I want to optimize for it. I have had problems with Nvidia drivers as I have seen the many people have had so I wonder if I should stay away from Nvidia.
Thanks in advance and let the games begin
Few months ago I decided to replace my old 2 core laptop with a new one, one of the main application being video editing using PD12 Ultimate on AVCHD 1080p60 (28 Mb/s) clips shot with Sony RX100 and Sony HX9V cameras.
I finally purchased a 4th generation Intel 4 core HP Envy touchscreen laptop, 16G ROM, NVDIA GeForce GT 740M, 1TB and Win 8.1
(Cosco Canada specs:

Compared to my old laptop, it races through AVCHD 1080p60 rendering!
When rendering a typical video editing project (6 min duration, 25 clips, mostly straight cuts, few overlays, few transitions, audio volume adjustments, title and credits) the laptop takes typically between 1.0 and 1.2 times to render using SVRT. For example, it will take between 6.0 and 7.2 minutes to render a master file for a 6 min video editing project with this laptop.
BTW, no problems with the NVDIA card... yet!
