Will there be a difference in performance

Hi.
Im planning to buy the studio-version of Davince Resolve.

My Pc is an Intel i5-4690k
with 8GB ram
and an Geforce GTX 960 with 2 GB VRam

I know, that it is under the requirements, but unfortunately, at the moment, i cant buy new Hardware. Everything is not available at the moment, specially Graphic-cards.

So i would like to use the time of waiting (could be some months) in getting into the software.

I use Resolve Davince 16 Free Version at the moment and it works (slowly).
My question is: Will Davince Resolve Studio 17 work on my PC and will there be a slight performanceboost with the studio-version, because of the hardwareaccelaration?

My desired video-output will always be only Full-HD, but i will use 4k files in the input.

Many thanks in advance...

There seems to be a backlog of Studio licenses as well.

I think my choice would be to wait until I acquired better hardware and then buy the Studio license.

You won't get hardware acceleration with a 2GB GPU, unless the specs have changed since the last time the developers commented on this matter here. You won't see any difference with h.264/5 formats.

No HW acceleration on GT1030 (2GB) here in 17 beta. So no changes there.

If it's only HD throughout, I think GTX 960 is not that weak, I believe the problem is only 8Gb of RAM.

I use a 970.

Trust me, they're WEEEEEEAAAK!

It's not unusable in terms of, say, integated GPUs many try to use with Resolve...
