If it's 4K footage it will be a lot more work for the CPU and graphics card. The 16GB of RAM is not a problem. The NVMe drives also help working with 4K much more smooth. FCP X is obviously optimized much better for macOS than Premiere Pro. You can also download a free one month trial of Final Cut and see how that goes.Also, I'm just starting to get into video editing a little bit with my drone. I have Adobe Premier Pro and everything on an SSD and it seemed to kind of struggle with my 4690K and NVS510. Is that normal? I have 16GB of RAM as well.
The price for the performance you get with these is about the best there is right now. Most Chromebooks or Chromboxes cost more than this. They have very weak CPUs, minimal storage and you're locked into the Google ecosystem. With these Dells you can easily run Windows, Linux, macOS or pretty much anything you throw at it. They're super easy to upgrade and work inside. Replacement parts are cheap and abundant. For pre-builts, they look good and come in very solid cases that hold up longer term. So I commend you on your choice. Follow the guide, go slowly and perform each step verbatim and you'll get a working system. Let us know how it all goes for you.Bought a used Dell Optiplex 9020 for approx 148 US$ after saw this thread and still in shipment
You've only got two PCIe slots in the SFF so putting something like the MSI RX 560 in the x4 slot would work but it then blocks the x16 slot where you would want the wireless card. This is why it's better to go with the Mini-Tower for those that need the extra space for add in cards. For video editors the MT is really the only choice if that's the main use of one of these. You can then use most any double slot AMD card and easily upgrade the PSU to something 500W or more.having the BCM94360CS2 and NVS510, I don't have an option for that, correct?
Hi, I just bought an used Dell Optiplex 9020 for approx 148 US$ after saw this thread and still in shipment. Hopefully, I will be able to install Mojave in this machine since I am really new in this hackintosh thing. Hope you guys can help me later if i face any trouble. Thanks in advance guys
i tried hackintosh-ing several years ago but got stuck, later abandon it but this thread spark my interest again.
Yeah. I might have to beef this up to a mid or something for editing if I get that into it. Thanks for the info.You've only got two PCIe slots in the SFF so putting something like the MSI RX 560 in the x4 slot would work but it then blocks the x16 slot where you would want the wireless card.
Did you try applying this guide to Catalina first and it didn't work ?I used this guide and an EFI zip file from another thread to get Catalina working.
