Is GPU Important for 4k Video Editing? | Rendering and Playback Benchmarks

[@Wachueu]

Woah, i am impressed how professional this video is. Its a shame that it has only few views.. Thank you for explanation.

[@BenGKaiser]

Wow, thank you!

[@Wachueu]

@Nawaz Shaaz through what?

[@storyanaksekolah2]

what is work when you rendering video on premiere pro? cuda cores or video encoder?

[@PinoyTechTutorials]

I'm youtube myself problem with this video is there are too much still images and still texts, that's the reason why it gets few views. (I think) but the content is really great and I learned alot thank you for taking time to explain it to us.

[@aaronramos7287]

your deserve more subs, it is very helpful that theres a channel that talks about tools for editors. keep up the nice work!

[@BenGKaiser]

Thanks Man! I am working on making better content for Creatives every day!

[@daviddurrani]

Fantastic video. Only video that clearly demonstrated and answered this question.

[@BenGKaiser]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@daviddurrani]

@@BenGKaiser not only did I enjoy it but you saved me from a huge mistake. I had just received a 6800XT but your video saved me from opening it and I managed to exchange it for a 3080. So thank you. :)

[@NeilBradleyMS]

Thank you for explaining perfectly how the GPU is utilised during the video editing process. I've recently built a new PC and I'm in the process of researching a graphics card to buy but I don't want to spend a fortune on a high end one. Cheers - Neil (UK).

[@DBringerStreams]

I am as of now still using the onboard GPU of my processor in editing videos in 4K. If you have a powerful enough processor, it's not a necessity. Of course there's lags, but the lags are tolerable. Still though, having a GPU separate from the processor is still better which is why I am saving money to get one soon.

[@Sifat_Rashid]

what processor u use?

[@imDonDiestro]

@@Sifat_Rashid was just about to ask this. hopefully he sees my comment and responds lol

[@DBringerStreams]

@@Sifat_Rashid It's just an i5 11th gen. Though I have already added an RTX 3050 gpu just recently. The exporting time when I was using the onboard gpu was about 1 hour for a 15 minute 15GB 4K video, with the new GPU, I can now export the same type of video in about 15 minutes. If I am not doing other things like Photoshop or 3D rendering, it sometimes take less time.

[@BewdeKiPaathshaala]

​@@DBringerStreamsI am planning to build a machine with Ryzen 5 7600 (5.2 GHz max) and iGPU. I think I should be able to edit 4K with this without a dedicated GPU. Considering that I will have 32GB of 6000MHz DDR5 RAM, I should be able to live without a GPU for now and still be able to edit 4K videos with not many effects. Your thoughts?

[@londonyorkphotography8850]

Awesome stuff. Really informative.

[@BenGKaiser]

Glad it helped!

[@TerrelLism]

Thanks. I'm building my first computer. I do video editing and so many builds are focused on gaming. This is more in line with the info I need. I'm going AMD Ryzen 7 3700. I have all of the parts except the GPU (out of stock). I wanted a 1660 super for 1080 and some 4k editing. Wasn't sure if I should go with the 1660 super or a 20 series. I use power director.

[@PinoyTechTutorials]

Love the explanation thanks alot!

[@Sofiacitywalks]

Great video, very informative. Thanks

[@probilmusic3396]

brooo i just learned a lot on this video, I been looking for a video on KZbin explaining the role of gpu in video editing. some people don't even discuss the topic end up saying things that don't make sense

[@bajuszsp]

Something went wrong with the Dell XPS. When the CPU started to throttling you had low dedicated GPU utilization but almost 100% IGP utilization ( between 6:20 and 6:35). The IGP heated up your CPU.. Something was not OK with your settings.

[@FinancialFaiz]

Thanks for the vid! Its been helpful! But let's say I have a CPU that may not be throttled down due to the cold room conditions (it's a 4770K), can I pair it with, say GT1030 2GB and make use of its CUDA cores for upgraded timeline + rendering performance? Currently the project setting is set to using "software". I am using Premier Pro

[@imushazu]

Wow! Your explanation is super clear and easy to understand. Feels like everything you taught is all i needed to know. Thank you for making things clear for me 👍🏻

[@captainpicard3016]

Don't let hardware to limit what you want to do. II edit 1080p videos on Premiere Pro with color grade and graphics on a i5- 3337U with HD4000. I also do interior and product design on SketchUp and Fusion 360. Rendering a video takes 1x to 10x the duration of the video, depending on how much effects I use. I edited 4K once, it's not smooth but it's possible with no color grade. Keep in mind the preview window is always set to 1/4.

[@joseph_91]

I see this is from a year ago, but you should do a video on how to optimize your PC and how to set the options on Premiere for people with old machines.

[@HedgehogY2K]

That's a little interesting considering Purevideo's a thing. Purevideo decodes videos while CUDA encodes but I guess since CUDA cores are essentially pipelines, it would have to be used to scrub smoothly.

You are the first person that I have seen show how long it takes for a video edit to complete without the GPU and with. I have learned more in this video than the other 100 videos that I’ve seen in the past week as I am trying to find a GPU that will give me 1440 P Gaming and 4K video editing in 10 bit color as I have the benq sw271 if you have any recommendations please let me know what you think as I was going to get the Nvidia 2060 super as it is $400 at Best Buy although that seemed a bit excessive and do you thing the aftermarket or 3rd party versions with more fans are better... as you see I have endless questions thankyou for the video I will be subscribing☝️

You got a new sub, thanks for the video! I am choosing a laptop just for intensive 4k video editing in premiere pro. I am a bit confused between 4800h + 1650 and 4800h + 1660ti, as my friend told me his 1660ti just get 45% utilized at the most by premiere pro. Money is not a big deal here but there is a $100 difference between the two models and I don't play games at all. Would it be a waste of money for me to choose 4800h + 1660ti or is there some hidden benefit that I am missing?

[@JimmyJefferson]

Superb and detail explanation with the real example. this is really something. Anyway i got a question... lets say for 4k video editor or render.. what should we look at the GPU most important? is it just the Cuda Core? So it doesnt matter if we got 4GB or 6GB or even 8GB on the card? and the DDR3 or DDR4 it doesnt matter?? and now even theyre talking about the PCIe 3.0 or PCIe 4.0 how about that?? because from this video... it seems like we just aim an old GPU with high cuda cores... and thats a voila.. tell me if im wrong. Real newbie here...

I just get confused with the new Nvenc encoder/rendering what really makes a difference. I want to have an awesome system, but also just overpaying for a setup that is totally overkill and won't make a difference seems like a waste too. Thank you so much!
