Post up your hardware specs and storage setup.
running with an amd ryzen 7 3700x, a gtx 1070, and 16gb ddr4 3200mhz ram. If I recall correctly, these specs should be over the minimum required specs. Possibly, the version I'm trying to run is a bit more demanding? I'm going to try installing earlier builds to see if they perform better on my setup. I'll report back on that later.
I've got resolve installed onto an ssd that is used as the main drive for windows and other system programs. A slow but bought new 2tb hdd stores the footage that i import into davinci. I'm unsure of how to test the specific speeds of these drives so i'll get back on the speeds and the specific details if needed, just let me know. I have tried putting media onto the ssd before importing it into davinci to see if it made any difference in the performance, it doesn't change the outcome.
Again if any additional info is needed please ask. I'm not very tech-smart, the help is appreciated.
