i7 7700k is I7 7700k bad for video editing (After Effects CC/Sony Vegas)

[JD7]

Hi there

 

so i was about to buy Ryzen 1700 until or may i say "intel" i found a good deal with an i7 7700k cpu for 300 euros which is 60 euros less than the Ryzen 1700 in germeny

 

the only thing that i’m concerned about is, is this cpu good for video editing? Especially for video editing softwares like After Effects and Sony Vegas 13 because i use these a lot.

It is "less good" than Ryzen but I certainly wouldn't call it "bad".

Because you are doing a lot of video editing, spend an extra 60 Euros for the 1700 it is much better for that kind of stuff. If you were gaming, I would recommend the 7700K.

i7 7700K isn't bad for video editing.

 

But why get that when you can get a CPU that costs the same (or a bit more looking at europe) and renders in half the time, not to mention lets you game while rendering?

Anyone who's doing any amount of multithreaded workloads will benefit amazingly from the 1700, and unless you want to hit 144fps you won't see the Ryzen CPU bottlenecking.

 

(overclock the 1700, should hit 3.9-4.1)

you  can't get 144fps on ryzen in certain games, you can in many though.

Well I can't recall exact numbers, which games can hit 144 (maxed out, with a 1080 Ti at 1080p)?

aye it's one of those of in triple A titles you can't, normally, but in other games easily, and it can get normally about 90+fps, which by any account is a good fps, and 200fps in doom, I believe.

If you don't want to spend extra, you could go for a 1600X when it comes out.

calling a 7700k bad for video editing .... [insert facepalm here]

No, by any means. Yeah, there are better CPUs out there, but it is still a very capable chip.

As mentioned already, ryzen would probably be better

well it’s actually 30 euros if i count the cpu cooler....the most thing i’m concerned about if Ryzen will be like the last AMD FX CPU’s because i do both gaming and editing and after seeing the benchmarks it looks like the ryzen 1700 is losing in terms of gaming performance.

What GPU will you run? Or what's your budget?

 

Also what do you mean "like the FX CPUs"?

lol sorry i know it was dumb by me for calling it that but it’s just i haven’t seen people talking about the editing side of 7700k cpu

i have a RX 480 8gb and my budget is around 1100 euro (With the monitor and i already bought that) and in the future(in 1.5 year) I’ll maybe buy the new AMD Graphics card Vega so i need processor will last longer too

 

by that i mean the last amd processors were really bad looking at AMD FX Series

Yeah these new AMD processors have pretty much nothing in common with the FX (other than, well, they're CPUs)

 

On a RX 480 8GB you will find zero difference between a 7700K and a Ryen 1700 in any game. Almost entirely sure. So don't worry about that.

Thanks for replying! .anyway i’ll decide by the end of the month if i will get the 1700 or i7 7700k, i’m thinking a lot about 1700 tbh.

[Aphexxis]

I do heavy video editing with my Westmere based Xeon at 4.2ghz and it never struggles, a 7700k will be far more capable i would think.

There's also the upcoming Ryzen 5s that should be equivalent of an i7-6800K (fine IPC, 6 cores and 12 threads) for some 250 Euro. If they're out by the time you build, they might be worth considering.

yeah, sry for my reaction kinda, i was not in the best mood at that point in time  

but maybe this helps

Then get a 5820K/6800K. They will perform close to the 7700K in games and close to the 1700 in productivity applications when using CUDA/OpenCL...

Since you are going to get an RX 480, get the Ryzen CPU. It won't be worse than the 7700K in games when paired with the 480...

i’ll check that out. also will 8GB 2400 mhz ram reduce the performance of Ryzen 1700?

 

i heard that there is a lot of issues with the ram thing
