HWiNFO64 is the one. You can look at every little detail individually or filter it to look at only what you're interested in. You can log the data and turn it into graphs afterwards if you want too. It's free.

The Quadro T600 can be had around $250.

It supports the following:

H.264 (AVCHD) YUV 4:2:0

H.264 (AVCHD) YUV 4:4:4

H.264 (AVCHD) Lossless

H.265 (HEVC) 4K YUV 4:2:0

H.265 (HEVC) 4K YUV 4:4:4

H.265 (HEVC) 4K Lossless

H.265 (HEVC) 8k

HEVC 10-bit support

You will likely have at least one USB-C port on whatever motherboard you get. If not or if you need more and you go (m)ATX, you can always add all sorts of additional ports via PCI-E expansion cards like this one, for example.

The problem with most cases with 5.25" drive bays is that they oftentimes don't have good airflow. (One example of an exception would be the Fractal Focus G (Mini).) I would prioritize airflow above all other considerations for cases as this will directly affect the PC's performance. Look for a mesh front panel or just check out the cases that I put in the Recommended Builds parametric filters.

Hello again. I'm about to purchase an adapter and an m.2 drive.

However, I don't know if there will be any compatibility or bottlenecking issues.

I'm looking at:

This adapter (Gen 3.0)

Thanks for your answer.

Do you think I should this video card instead of the one in the list ?

Thanks again for the reply, sorry with more questions... do you think it is best to buy a second-hand GPU and wait to upgrade it next year when hopefully the market has gone back to "normal". If that is a yes below is what I am looking at, what prices do you think is too much. And do you think these cards would be a good starting place?

I am looking at the

EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 VR READY, GAMEWORKS\VRWORKS\G-SYNC\DIRECTX12 GRAPHIC CARD (225 pounds)

MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ventus XS 6G OC Graphics Card 6 GB GDDR5(450pounds)

Did you not find the nvme speeds alone to be sufficient?

I would worry that introducing another software step (spanning in win 10) wouldn't net any speed benefits at the cost of resource overhead.

At the end of the day, Adobe's optimization could use a lot of improvement when it comes to handling footage and files. Even on overspecced machines it can feel sluggish and choppy, in a way that other NLEs don't. Especially depending on the footage.

You could try using something like this for testing:

When you have those numbers, you can add up the data rate of your footage and do some napkin math to see if your drives are the bottleneck. I doubt it - modern NVME drives are

If you're going to spend ~800 bucks on a GPU, the RTX 4000 is probably the best choice for this particular build. You'll get real-time renders. You'll get REAL 10-bit color. You'll get drivers that are not available to gamer AIB's. Drivers that are specific to Adobe and Resolve.

I really like your setup. Everything looks good to me. If money is not an issue... 1200W is the way to go.

Stuff a 1TB M.2 NVME SSD card in your M.2 port. Put your footage on that and you will see huge improvements even on the timeline previews.

I was actually thinking a 1tb SSD (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01K8A29E6/ref=crt_ewc_title_srh_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2UXO5LPTDY3LN) for project files, a larger hdd for mass, and then a nvme for scratch (and an ssd for os+apps), as you have described in the wiki in detail.

the problem is that the nvme drives are really damn expensive - particularly in canada. $300+ for something that in previous threads you're not even that hot on (evo).

Some peripherals I didn't include above.

Monitor is a Dell U2711 I've been using for a couple years. Might supplement with this 13" field monitor, as it's the closest thing to my laptop screen that I currently use as my 2nd monitor.

My mouse is the Anker ergonomic mouse, which you can pry from my cold dead carpel tunnel-free hand. I also use a Contour ShuttlePro. I may get a Logitech T650 if I find I miss my laptop's trackpad.

Haven't settled on a keyboard yet. Looking at the Logitech Craft.

If you have customers that require color management... I would suggest a proper reference monitor. They're not cheap:

BenQ being the cheapest option right now.

I'm sorry, didn't know about that about Canada! :/ Just looked up the prices and MY GOD... FUCK THAT!!! What the hell is this shit!

Ok, time rethink. Check it out. Scratch your second SSD. Use that money to get this Kingston Digital HyperX Predator 240 GB PCIe Gen2 x4 Solid State Drive. This will go into your PCIe port that the GPU would have gone into. So you will only be using the integrated GPU which in all technicality should be fine, you would only be limited to OpenCL effects which are basically the ones you would use anyway. At least this way you will be able to stream to the timeline without ANY stutter even when applying effects. Just make sure to set up the Mercury Playback Engine to use the HD530. The 750ti to me will be a dissappointment in terms performance and would not be any better than the HD530 in terms of accelerating effects as that and encoding (which isn't real time) are the only two things that Adobe utilizes the GPU for anyway.
