Video rendering, GPU or CPU?

[AlexUP]

Hello, I've been working and editing videos for a while now, and was wondering what should I use to render videos GPU or CPU? Right now it's set to default - CPU rendering I guess, since CPU goes 100% when I'm rendering a video. But I'm not sure if it's good for my CPU or PC overall. I have heard that if you don't do it right, then video rendering can damage your PC.

Setup >

CPU: I3-8350K

GPU: GTX 1660 Super

 

Thanks in advanced!

That should be impossible.

CPU rendering is slower but sometimes leads to best quality. GPU rendering is way faster but the end result may be subpar.

 

As said above, there's no such thing as damaging your PC just by  making full use of it.

you can't damage your pc with that... 

 

gtx 1660s can render much faster at very similar quality to cpu rendering but not all video editing software has support for nvenc
