Hey guys, I've been tearing my hair out trying to research this on my own, and I'm hoping one of you experts can answer this simply and maybe offer some advice. You all have saved me significant headaches through the years with your diligence and generosity.
My machine was built by a friend a few years ago, and I've slowly updated it over the years to it's current state, running Catalina, with the system specs I have (also 64gb ram)
I primarily use the machine for VFX, Color, and Editing, in that order of priority. I grade in Davinci Resolve, VFX in After Effects, and Edit in Premiere. I'm not gonna bitch and moan about how dumb Adobe is with it's hardware usage.
But I can't help but feel that the Radeon Vii should perform significantly better than it does in Resolve.
2 Questions...
1 Is there something I can do to boost/optimize it?
2 If not, is it possible to leave the Radeon Vii in there to do all things Mac OS and whatnot related, and also install an Nvidia 2080 ti, just for processing in Resolve (and whatever other plug ins I have that benefit more from CUDA)?
It's depressing to think that the 16GB Radeon Vii just kinda does MEH work.
Really grateful to you all for the help, and I apologize if this is the epitome of naïveté for even asking this.
Thanks!
