I think I agree with you Bill. The most visible bottle neck I can see is the CPU when editing, playback almost always uses 100% of the CPU. Though I don't know how much benifit a GPU upgrade will bring because I can't see the performance of the GPU and where it's suffering
By the way I don't need to render much and I don't export at all. All I'm after here is real time playback.
The footage is DSLR 1080 mainly. Editing multicam and somewhat heavy on filters.
Should I upgrade the CPU and forget about the GPU for now?
That would possibly mean I have to upgrade/change the motherboard if the CPU isn't 1155 socket
I'm budget conscious
Appreciate the help!
