Editing Computer Build

Hey I’m a video editor and I’ve been through about 5 different desktop\laptop builds over the past 6 or so years, all increasingly better as I got newer computers. Bringing me to my current build. Although I feel like I paid a decent amount, dishing out a little over $2100 for my current rig, I’m still left unsatisfied with the performance from my Adobe applications (Premiere,After effects,Photoshop etc.) I’ve been editing full time for a year now and I need more power but overall just more reliability from my computer. I know Adobe has its own myriad of issues (been a active user since 2015) but I know there are editors out there dealing with less issues. I can run the apps pretty well but honestly there’s not a work day that goes by that my software doesn’t crash AT LEAST twice and I have to end program tasks or completely reboot the system. Really looking for insight on how I can improve stability and possibly performance. This is my job so I’m willing to invest more. I’ve listed my specs below if anyone can provide any advice!

I don't see your RAM which is very important.

 

Check the information available at Puget, and run their Puget Bench test. It can help to identify bottlenecks.

Video driver version is a frequent source of issues.

My suggestion would be to submit crash reports to Adobe as they come. Over in the Photoshop forum we've seen a disproportionately high share of AMD Ryzen systems with various performance problems.

 

Engineers have said that they would like to get to the bottom of it, but they need reproducible cases, and crash reports.
