CPU for video editing

In what way are you guys using the term "Rendering"? Rendering in Real-time uses the GPU. Rendering a video 3D file uses the CPU.

Xeon for workstations

Heh, would you believe I can't even remember, it's been so long? (and I built it!) After having to look everything up, here it is: Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 8GB RAM Can't recall or find the info for the motherboard, but it was something from early that generation. ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 And I just...

CPU for video editing

Interestingly enough, when I googled x624, I got a ton of results from that as well. I can tell you that h.264 has been a great standard for video quality since... 2005? But I haven't messed with editing for a couple years, so I wasn't going to be surprised if there were something new (though...

Oh yeah. Anyone thing this would need watercooling? I'd really rather avoid that, but I'm looking at 2 xeon e5's + a GTX Titan... Would love some opinions on that as well. Many thanks to all the helpful folks here.

CPU for video editing

By cost, do you mean my budget? I don't have much of a budget; I'm willing to pour some money into a system right now. Mine is over 5 years old, and I'm more interested in these criteria: - performance - no need for water cooling That's about it. I was under the impression xeons were...

Any reason why you wouldn't go the Xeon route for this? That's what I'm looking at right now, and it's comparable price to the 3930K.

I don't actually know if it would benefit from GPU upgrades, but I'm also against that whole Fire/Quadro line of products. They're drivers always seem substandard for anything but video/rendering, and since I do a lot of real-time game development type work, I've had a hell of a time with them...

I checked the manual first before posting, however it does not touch on this topic at all. Most likely it's unsupported, since I believe most people encounter the same situation that I do when both are enabled. Thanks for the reply!

Oblivion has gone Gold

Actually that is the wierdest characteristic of any game I've ever seen - your card is "too powerful" or somesuch nonesense. There is something with either the engine, or a certain level of cards and the way the hardware doesnt get along with the engine, that causes the game to have extremely...

Oblivion has gone Gold

Zebo - It's not really an excuse as much as an explanation. Maybe I should just phrase it differently - game engines all handle the way space is organized differently. The result of the frequent loading stutter is primarily because of the engine they chose. It's not a robust engine nor the...

Oblivion has gone Gold

Some people were talking about the stuttering in Oblivion. That's going to turn a lot of people off because it's caused by the engine and not any fault of the development or design. No matter what kind of monster system you have, the way that the engine chooses to handle the work loading is...

Weird PCIe Molex on my PSU

EAX Compatibility?

Does newer Creative sound cards support older EAX? Specifically, do the X-Fi or newer Audigy cards have support for EAX 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc? I can't see dumping money on these if they don't keep up support for the few older games that support it, so was really curious. Thanks!
