DaVinci Resolve 14

Orc00 · January 20, 2018

Dear friends,

Lately I whas wondering what the minimum systeem requirements voor Davinci Resolve 14 demo version is?

I had it googled and find out the minimum is 8-core cpu! Can someone explain to me if this requirement is for the Demo or the Studio version?

I have a Intel i7-7800X At 3,5Ghz. This is a 6-core Hexa cpu. Does this mean i need to stop working with Davinci Resolve or not?

I'm every happy how Davinci resolve is helping me out. But at the same hand i dont't want to destroy my new build pc!

And is 16GB on ram 2400Mhz DDr4 and GTX 1050 Ti 4GB good for Davinci Resolve?

I hope someone can share a light to this !

One more thing

My CPU isnt overclocked. It can be overclock to 4Ghz. But if i overclok it could it be that it will die a bit faster the normale?

thankyou

You can go to CanIRunit and it will tell you if your machine is capable of running just about any software out there. All you have to do is type in the name of the software you want to use and it does the rest.

one thing first: running programs that require higher minimum specs than what you have won't destroy your pc, it would simply not run that great (probably) because the hardware can't calculate the stuff the program wants fast enough.

The probably bit is the important bit, cause I'm running DaVinci Resolve 14 on a 4c 8T machine with good performance, render times are good and workflow too, so I don't think you'll have any trouble running davinci (though this heavily depends on what projects your working on, I only edit @1080p and 50fps)

Overclocking your cpu might improve performance, but I recommend overclocking only to those who know what they are doing. So if you feel insecure (which is what I'm guessing you are) don't mess with it and gain knowledge first. If you know how your whole system ticks and you think you know what you are doing, start overclocking. The worst thing that can happen with overclocking is that you could potentially fry your cpu instantly, but if adequatly cooled and moderate voltages are applied, you probably replace the parts because of performance reasons earlier than it would die, either way whether oc'ed or not

You should be fine honestly. They probably take those numbers for studio use. So people whose job it is to edit video and don't want to wait very long.

I personally am running it on an 8c 16t CPU and I can say it runs great.. rendering uses all 16 threads, but it won't be necessary to have something like that.

Plus, some programs say 'cores' when they actually mean threads, so it might be that your CPU falls well within their demands.

And as mentioned above, even running a program when you're below spec will pose no damages, only lower performance.
