No difference in upgrade
Hi everyone,
I have an AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 32GB RAM and a Nvidia 1060-6GB. When I built my system I followed all recommendations and have SSDs and of course cache & scratch is separted on it's own SSD, CUDA is activated, etc.
I had a small upgrade budget so I purchased a Nvidia RT 3050-8GB. I cleaned the media cache database and installed fresh studio drivers. I also configured the program setting in the Nvidia panel like setting opengl rendering and MFAA on, etc.
Even when editing at 1080, whenever I added a mogrt or anything it sometimes spins and slows down. One specific mogrt I downloaded from Adobe even crashed during rendering on both cards as it seems the cards can't handle it.
With the regular effect and editing I saw no difference between the two cards and when I render it still only utilizes about 30% of the GPU and 4 out of 6 GB and it was only about 10 minutes faster. I see the CPU usage at like 90% during rendering and memory used 28/32GB.
So my questions are:
1) Would my money be better spent upgrading a CPU or memory to 64GB? or
2) Should I spend a little more and get an even better Nvidia card with 12GB like a 3060 or more?
