NVIDIA just revealed its brand new AMPERE
graphics cards, and while
everyone seems to focus on its gaming capabilities,
- I can’t stop
wonderig how it will perform in video editing.
Because right now I am running a NVIDIA RTX
2070 SUPER and I am really
unsatisfied with its performance in DAVINCI
RESOLVE STUDIO at least and wished
someone would have told me how demanding DAVINCI
RESOLVE STUDIO actually
was, even when using a single component in
OPEN FX such as DEFLICKER on
a single video clip and/or minor FUSION tasks
such as title animations.
Even my iPad Pro 2020 outperforms it.
If you are interested in that
video I linked it in the top right corner.
So I decided to put the brand new AMPERE RTX
3090 to the test against my
current setup.
Make sure to subscribe to this channel and
give this video a thumbs up
to be the first one to be informed if the
RTX 3090 might be a worthy
upgrade for you.
Why I wouldn’t even consider the RTX 3070
or the RTX 3080 for video
editing is its VRAM.
The 8 GB VRAM of the RTX 2070 SUPER gives
me errors
all the time on every single 4K project.
I am really sick and tired of
the following messages:
Render job failed as the current clip could
not be processed.
GPU processing on the current clip failed
because of an error.
or
Your GPU memory is full
Try reducing the timeline resolution or the
number of correctors
What really bothers me is that Black Magic
is not very transparent about
the system requirements on its website.
In this day and age, no matter what music
software plugin you buy out
there, you always find extensive information
about its system requirements.
I do remember finding one Black Magic document
that recommended the
NVIDIA Quadro RTX series and I actually wanted
to include it in this
video, but I could not find the document on
their website or the
internet anymore.
Unfortunately the manuals of Davinci Resolve
& Davinci
Resolve Studio don’t cover that important
information.
But let’s jump back to the new AMPERE graphics
cards.
First, I was
really excited for all the brand new AMPERE
graphics cards for video
editing, but the RTX 3070 only comes with
8 GB of VRAM and the flagship
RTX 3080 only comes with 10 GB of VRAM.
Since I constantly get error messages that
my GPU memory is full, I know
for sure that 8 or 10 GB of VRAM is not enough
if you are serious about
video editing.
And the only graphics card that comes with
more than 10 GB - at least
for now - is the RTX 3090 that claims to have
a 50% performance boost
over its predecessor the TITAN RTX for half
the price.
Well, that seems like a massive claim.
Lets find out together how the
RTX 3090 performs video editing in Davinci
Resolve Studio.
