CPU and GPU combination

PostWed May 23, 2018 6:57 pm

Total Newby to Resolve here. I get that using AMD and Nvidia GPU together are not doable. Will an AMD CPU combined with a Nvidia GPU work. I'm about to upgrade in order to use Resolve and want to know if and how my choices are limited.

Yes, as long as the AMD CPU is a relatively recent one (last couple of years).

If you are already using the AMD CPU and looking to install an NVIDIA GPU, that should be fine.

Nothing inherently wrong there. There are several users here (myself included) that use Threadripper processors with NVIDIA GPUs.
Ryzen 5800X3D
32GB DDR4-3600
RTX 3090
DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G
Resolve Studio 17.4.1
Windows 11 Pro 21H2

Hi.

First I will recommend you to read the DaVinci Resolve 15 Configuration Guide:

http://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/D ... _Guide.pdf

Yes a AMD Threadripper CPU togetter with a nVidea GPU will work very well together.

AMD did anounce the next generation of the Threadripper CPU back in january. It is expected 2nd half of 2018 ( early ).

And there is a lot of rumors on the internet of the next generation of nVideas graphics cards. I expect it around this summer.

I am waiting to upgrade myself.
