Hardware Settings for Premiere Pro
I was tired of being hardware bound by my 4 core, 12GB machine. So I built a new one using an i9-7960X CPU running 32 cores at 3.5GHz, 128GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro P5000, two M.2 and three "regular" SSD drives. This should last me a lifetime 
, and be more than PPCC uses for a while. But neither PPCC nor Media Encoder seem to use much of the resources.
Now with PPCC, my CPU utilization typically runs well below 20%, and on export it typically runs about 20% - 30%, although sometimes on an export it does peg at 100%. Memory utilization is typically below 10% no matter what. GPU usage, with CUDA enabled, runs below 3%, always.
My goal was real time playback with effects, and reduced export speed. Between my old and new PC, the export time for a two minute video dropped from 10 hours to 55 minutes, but even at 55 minutes, the PC's resources utilization was low. The same clip today with a LUT is running at 2 hours, witn 23% CPU, 12% RAM and 1% GPU.
On real time processing, my performance is no better than 4 cores with 12GB, although PPCC doesn't run away (stop responding to user input).
I'm hoping there are hardware or PPCC / ME settings I'm missing and that someone can guide me on them.
Thanks.
