This process is typically orchestrated by the CPU, arranging data and instructions in memory and then sending the data to VRAM and the instructions to the GPU.<\/p>\n<p>This dispatching system highlights both the strengths and the weaknesses of GPU processing: It\u2019s great for tasks that can be bundled together and processed asynchronously \u2014 Like video filters and effects \u2014 but it isn\u2019t good for rapid tasks that all need to be set up pre-processed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Memory_Demands\"><\/span>Memory Demands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The memory requirements for video editing can be staggeringly high, even when you\u2019re working with 1080p footage. NLEs like Resolve use RAM caching to ensure a smooth editing experience since reading video data from disk (even from an SSD) can make basic editing painfully slow.<\/p>\n<p>Scrubbing the timeline or playing back your footage can only be done smoothly if your footage has been cached to RAM.<\/p>\n<p>Resolve\u2019s VRAM requirements are similarly high, as its thorough use of GPU acceleration comes with proportionate memory requirements.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Storage_Demands\"><\/span>Storage Demands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Video files are large in general, and intermediary project files for video editing \u2014 which are often lossless and uncompressed \u2014 are even larger. Video editing projects can quickly grow from tens of gigs to hundreds of gigs, while professional productions can easily weigh in at more than a terabyte a piece.<\/p>\n<p>When you then add effects libraries, audio libraries, and stock footage on top of that, the storage you\u2019ll need for video editing is significant.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially the case when working on high-resolution projects beyond 1080p. If your footage folder consists of mainly 4K or 8K files that might even be in RAW, RED or other high-bitrate formats, you'll be happy to have ample and fast storage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buying_the_Right_Hardware_for_Video_Editing\"><\/span>Buying the Right Hardware for Video Editing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before we get into the specifics of what hardware you should choose when you\u2019re building a workstation for DaVinci Resolve, it\u2019s worth taking a look at some of the historical build advice that Black Magic Design has provided for Resolve users.<\/p>\n<p>While they haven\u2019t released a build guide for Resolve's latest version, <a href=\"https:\/\/documents.blackmagicdesign.com\/ConfigGuides\/DaVinci_Resolve_15_Mac_Configuration_Guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the guide they released for Resolve 15<\/a> can still provide some meaningful insight.<\/p>\n<p>Of particular note is the emphasis they place on motherboard choices and PCIe speeds, as well as the RAM and VRAM recommendations they give.<\/p>\n<p>While the guide is a bit out of date when it comes to the specific recommendations it makes, it provides some interesting insights into the performance assumptions that shape DaVinci Resolve.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_CPU_for_DaVinci_Resolve\"><\/span>Best CPU for DaVinci Resolve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s not easy to recommend a singular \u2018best\u2019 CPU for Resolve \u2014 different CPUs perform better with different workflows \u2014 but you\u2019ll find that, at least on the upper end of the price range, the performance gaps are fairly small.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4949\" src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2018\/09\/ryzenvsi7.jpg\"

some situations, Resolve will default to using a single GPU in enough situations that you should plan your build around the single-GPU performance you\u2019re likely to see.<\/p>\n<p>This will be especially relevant when it comes to VRAM.<\/p>\n<p>Another question worth asking is whether you should buy a workstation card, such as NVidia\u2019s Quadro or AMD\u2019s Radeon Pro GPUs, or a consumer card. Consumer GPUs offer great performance for the price (compared to workstation cards), but they tend to have less VRAM and fewer compute units than workstation cards.<\/p>\n<p>This did change somewhat with the Nvidia's RTX 3000 Series of GPUs as the top tier RTX 3090 does come with 24 GB of VRAM.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10629\" style=\"width: 1033px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10629\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10629\" src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/01\/DaVinci-Resolve-GPU-Benchmarks.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci Resolve GPU Benchmarks\" width=\"1033\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/01\/DaVinci-Resolve-GPU-Benchmarks.jpg 1033w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/01\/DaVinci-Resolve-GPU-Benchmarks-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/01\/DaVinci-Resolve-GPU-Benchmarks-940x1024.jpg 940w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/01\/DaVinci-Resolve-GPU-Benchmarks-768x836.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1033px) 100vw, 1033px\"><\/noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10629\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10629 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201033%201125%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"DaVinci Resolve GPU Benchmarks\" width=\"1033\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201033%201125%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1033w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1033px) 100vw, 1033px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/01\/DaVinci-Resolve-GPU-Benchmarks.jpg 1033w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/01\/DaVinci-Resolve-GPU-Benchmarks-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/01\/DaVinci-Resolve-GPU-Benchmarks-940x1024.jpg 940w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/01\/DaVinci-Resolve-GPU-Benchmarks-768x836.jpg 768w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/01\/DaVinci-Resolve-GPU-Benchmarks.jpg\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-10629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image-Source: Pugetsystems<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Benchmark results above clarify what we discussed previously: A single strong GPU has higher value than Dual (or more) GPUs.
