So it sounds like this is just normal then for this specific sample? I appreciate all your guy's help with this

I gotta sleep so Ill check again tomorrow when I get up. THanks for all your help so far!

I also found the Sample! https://www.avnishparker.com/AfterEffectsTemplates/RETRO-AUDIO-VISUALIZER @Rxkvn07 @Kilrah

Ill give it a shot and get back to ya

@Kilrah It was a free test scene I had found online but I wasnt able to find it again... it had 8 different bars on the lower part of the preview (Sorry I am not technically inclined with Adobe anything lol...) @Rxkvn07 I tried some more benchmarks before I conked out (13 hours working on this machine. about 7 for the build and 6 pulling my hair out trying to figure this thing out with the preview LOL) and it seems that everything is running as it should be in terms of hardware. No issues with missing software. Its all running the latest Bios. @Kilrah The only reason I had picked a Ryzen setup was because it had a high core count and it technically was on par ( or so I thought) with Intels offerings at a lower price. This was after a month or so of researching different articles online just regarding picking the hardware necessary for a Graphic Design Machine. Ultimately what I had understood was that the biggest things were High Core Count, High capacity of Ram, a fast primary hard drive (NVME) with a Large Secondary Storage, and a good graphics card (With Quadro's technically being the best). For a Mac I had understood they offer alot of these things but at a much higher premium (not to mention if something breaks your paying out the nose for repairs or replacing your machine.) Going Intel at the time was almost 500-600 bucks more and reading more into it the performance should be similar to an Intel. Was I mistaken for picking an AMD System? Will this system I built for my friend not be "Optimal" for projects and such that she wants to do outside of work? They use Mac's at work and she said that even with this program she runs into the same issues as we currently are with AE Previews not running in Real Time. I would just feel awful if I had wasted her money and working on all this when she should have bought a Mac you know.

I don't think Ryzen has integrated graphics I'll have to double check. No worries though! I appreciate your responses =D Im gonna keep trying

Thanks! As for drivers, i installed the drivers for the motherboard, graphics card, ssd, and a bunch if other drivers for the lights and controllers. Unless I'm missing something?

First off, several hours of building and I am finally done in the AM! X.x The Specs: Ryzen 3700X Asrock X570 Taichi 64 gb of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 mhz ram ( 2 sticks) Corsair H100i Platinum Water Cooler Samsung 970 Evo NVME SSD Seagate Barracuda 4TB Hard Drive Nvidia RTX 4000 The Build was designed to be a workstation for one of my friends whos a Graphics Designer (she uses the whole Adobe Suite) and wanted to get something that wasnt a Mac and would be similar price to what she was looking for ( Budget was 3 Grand. We got all the parts on sale during the holidays) After doing about a month of research beforehand (seeing that a Mac was still the recommendation for this use case) we still went with this Rig because she was worried about support issues with Mac and the ungodly amount of money people spend to fix their problems from what we had seen and read online. Now to the heart of the topic. After firing up Adobe After Effects and loading a sample file to test the capabilities of the hardware, the results were.... not ideal to say the least. The scene was set to run at 1080p 24 fps. What it was actually running at in real time was 3fps. I spent most of the morning pouring through forums online trying to make sense of all this. I built this machine hoping it was gonna be amazing and blow my friends expectations out of the water. After months of work and all that money and time spent.... did I just waste my friends time? Did I steer her wrong? Would a Mac have been better than building her a PC? Im just tired and confused friends of LMG Forums.... let me know your thoughts on this matter...

thank you!

ok excellent. thats awesome. thank you!

Oooooh I see ok. So 8600k would be over kill for what I wanna do? I was thinking of running a Feed the Beast Ultimate Edition server and a Starmade Server on the side. Or instead of a Feed the Beast Server run an Ark Server But always primarily a Starmade Server.

DO I need a graphics card for a game server? Or is it recommended that I have one

Also as power draw would be an issue, I think Jurrunio your option would be a good one regardless of the price as power draw would be my biggest concern.

I apologize. The reason I wanted to go with a 9600k was because I wanted to get highest per core performance possible. Its going to be a game server so I dont think it will need a graphics card. I thought that game servers ran better off of higher per core performance instead of multiple cores. If this is not the case, should I then instead go for a Ryzen system? I could deffinitely save some money that way as BetterThanLife put it above

Hello! I have been thinking of a way to get a server for gaming / learning linux / building a website so that my friends could access the server and put various games on it (Max of maybe 2 games at a time). My wife doesn't like the idea of having a full power server in the apartment due to power draw concerns, size, and noise level. I proposed an idea that involved using a Intel i5-9600k due to the price and performance and she wanted me to ask you guys! Here is my build so far... Intel Core i5-9600K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.7 GHz (4.6 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I59600K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630 $269.99 Corsair Hydro Series H80i V2 Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm CW-9060024-WW $94.99 SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 2280 250GB PCIe Gen3. X4, NVMe 1.3 64L V-NAND 3-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V7E250BW $97.99 ASRock Z390M-ITX/ac LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard $119.99 CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMW32GX4M2C3200C16 $259.99 Prices Listed are from Newegg. I havent chosen a case because I dont know what kind of power supply im going to need. Preferably its going to be something that will not require the use of a Graphics Card (unless you guys think I should for a gaming server). In which case, I have a GTX 1060 that im not really using that I could use for this purpose. I was thinking an SFX Power Supply because I can get one that would be low power and probably enough to run all of these components (which is like 250 W from what I saw online). It would also reduce the size of my overall machine. We would be connecting this computer to a TV and while its in use as a server, I was hoping that this machine could be used for my wife to just simply watch anime from Netflix on top of everything else. Let me know your thoughts. I know its alot of information guys lol.... sorry
