Hi guys,
I´m currently thinking about upgrading my 2013 setup, but I´m not sure the performance boost is worth the price.
I mainly use my Hackintosh for AE and Premiere Pro, so getting better video editing performance is my main reason for a potential upgrade.
Currently I have:
• Intel Core i7 4770K
• ASUS MAXIMUS VII RANGER
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780
• 32 GB of RAM
I´m thinking about getting:
• Intel i7 7700K
By itself a small upgrade from the 4770K, but needed if I get an upgraded MB with 64GB capacity.
• Asus ROG Maximus Hero X or IX
Needed for 64GB capacity. Not sure if "X" is compatible yet.
• Geforce GTX 1080 ti or Geforce GTX 1080
As I understand it, PP is able to use the faster GPU. AE isn´t.
• DDR4 64gb
Faster and more RAM. Not working much with 4K or larger formats yet, but should also provide better performance for 1080 footage/projects.
"Is it worth it?" is of course a hard question to answer, so here is my benchmark:
• Will I FEEL a SIGNIFICANT real-world boost in performance (faster rendering, processing etc) ?
I don´t care about academic specs, having the latest and fastest chip etc - I care about actual, real-world performance.
The upgrade will run me appr. 1,900- 2,400 USD depending on which parts I pick, so I´m only doing this to keep my machine up-to-date and give it a significant performance boost.
Your inputs will be much appreciated, so please let me hear your take on this - and if you have comments or alternative suggestions to the parts I listed.
All the best,
Lasse
