GTX980 for editing/grading?

[sen]

Hi all!

 

Looking forward to upgrading my currently rig for better perfomance in davinci resolve and premiere, and wondering if the GTX980 (4 GB) would be enough for my usage? Main editing in premiere pro (fluid without effects even right now can struggle with a few effects however) grading in davinci, but i might switch to davinci only when 12 comes out.

 

My current rig:

GA-P67X-UD3-B3

i7 2600K @ 4.0 GHZ

24 GB RAM

ASUS GTX 660 2 GB OC (with 3 monitors)

CORSAIR 600CXV2EU

(3 ssds and 3 hdds)

 

Thanks for your help,

sen

The cpu is more important

For rendering yes (but there is no problem on that part atm), for realtime stuff specially in Davinci GPU is more heavily used. Plus there is not much upgrade cpu-wise cause I can't afford 2011v3 system and sadly even a 4970k wouldn't give that much of a boost, even worse when considering the cost of it.

I would just get a quadro k4000 or k4200 good condition on eBay. Much better performance and u can find one for 400-500$. Cheaper than a 980 and is officially supported p.

Sadly that is not an option, as I live in hungary, and anything looking even validly legit in co.uk/de ebay is about the same price as a gtx980 here is.

r9 290x 8gb would be a better choice for editing videos.

RIP cuda acceleration... .-.

Didn't get a chance to watch the whole thing

But I'm just saying that the Adobe Suite is more geared towards NVidia for the CUDA. Premiere and AE and other software like C4D uses it. I'd much rather take a 980 for editing over a 8GB 290X... it's just not as efficient imo...
