Which one is a better combo for Editing, rendering and mainly Converting videos?I don't want to do any crazy overclock just 4.5 with Haswell and 4.8 with the fx if they come out to be decent chips as it mostly depends on the silicon lottery so Plz help...
My Rig-
IB- Asrock extreme 4
haswell-MSI Z87 G43
8gb ram
1 tb hdd
MSI HD 7870
Corsair CX 600
FX8350 all the way. the i5-4670K is only a 4 core cpu, the AMD 8 core will just destroy it in editing and rendering. about the GPU if you can afford a Msi 7950 TF or an other 7950 i would recommend that card. if you gonne use software that can use openCL.You could trow a H80i on the FX8350 or a an good cheaper air cooler, and maybe that little bit of money you safe on there, trow in a 7950.
p.s make sure you buy a Decent 990FX chipsetboard, like an Asus sabertooth or Asus M5A99Fx pro R2.0
grtz Angel ☺
I would go with the 8350. You can push a really good overclock on the 8350 with a heatsink that costs half as much as the H100i.
4670k + Noctua NH-D14? :)
You really are an Intel fanboy, aren't you?
quicksync on intel cpu's is still crazy fast for compressing and de-compressing of video, opencl doesnt even come close
the only downer about quicksync is that it is *extremely* function specific and of only any real use for saving / playing certain file type (think its h.26 but my memory is fuzzy at the moment).
But I am thinking that for video editing you shouldnt be thinking amd vs intel at all, you should be thinking amd vs nvidia
adobe creative cloud + kick arse graphics card that is good at opencl or cuda (i believe creative cloud uses both..)
Its just a question of seeing which cards have better support / performance, i dont know the answer to that off hand.
think that they are both pretty equal now, OpenCL has a slight advantage imo as its open source where as fir cuda you gotta hope nvidia keeps supporting and updating it.
