Ryzen 3900X
32GB RAM
It works pretty well for editing in PD with 4K30 video. No complaint about rendering times or general operation. My only real complaint is that it is really slow when I add a bunch of video files and wait for it to process shadow files. I even stack 4 4K30 vids on the timeline for some vids with 4 simultaneous cams, and it can edit without much noticeable lag unless I add effects or even color adjustments sometimes.
My question is; would a newer GPU like a 3060 or 3060Ti change the experience very much? Would it speed up shadow files at all or smooth out the mostly minor hiccups with 4K editing?
I also use Corel Paintshop wuite a bit and that will lag with some large image editing at times or tying to use a really large paint brush or eraser for example. I know it's not directly related, but it anyone knows if the GPU upgrade would help a lot there I'd appreciate the input.
I'm mostly happy, but with some Black Friday prices that will be around for another couple of days and wondering how much longer my old GPU will last before it fails, I'm tempted. It's still expensive to me though, so I'm not looking to spend money just to spend money. Thanks.
