Hi,
I have been using different apple computers since 1999, but I have to switch to windows now to get the power I need, and since I am using Adobe software as well. Guess adobe and linux is a bad match?
I am a cinematographer and colourist. I most often shoot and colour grade footage from my Red Epic W. 5k-8k resolution. I have a 2012 Mac Pro 5,1 with 2 x 6 core 2,4 Ghz CPU, Nvidia GTX 680 4 GB video memory, 40 GB of memory, internal raid 0 3x2 TB 7200 spin disks and a 512 GB SSD disk for OS. I know you can still upgrade the Mac Pro, but I do not want to put more money in something from 2012.
The projects I am working on are getting bigger, and the formats I am delivering are longer, and I often deliver projects in 4k now.
I am about to buy a windows box and this is what I am thinking of:
Asus-Z10PE-D8 dual socket
Xeon E5 V4 12 core 2,2 Ghz CPU
Titan X Pascal 12 GB GDDR5X Ram
Samsung 960 PRO 512GB SSD for OS NVMe
Cache SSD: 2 x 1 TB SSD in raid 0
Main storage: RAID 10, of 4 disk - 8TB storage
Windows 10
I then have a main board that can run to xeon CPUs, and I am wondering if I should go dual at once, and then I would need 128 GB of memory, and should I also get two titans?
Would these specs be good enough to edit fluently in Davinci? Or should I stick with premiere for editing and grade in Davinci? Would be nice to edit and grade at the "same time", but I think I still would like to edit in premiere when it is formats over 10-20 minutes.
What do you think?
