Premiere CC 2018 - Help choosing the best cpu/ram/graphics combination from PC offers

This might be too complicated of a question.

After reading up on various PC specifications, I am just more confused.

 

I previously had Acer S680G

i5-750 2.66GHz

4GB DDR3. 640GB.

Fx 380 512 mb – Graphics card.

Premiere CC 2018 worked ok, a little slugish but done the job.

The PC died after doing a lot of work over years, got my monies worth.

 

I have about $150 to replace the old Acer S680G.

 

Sticking with win7 and Premiere CC 2018 for now.

 

Regarding refurbished box:

Hard drive space is not a consideration. Win10 is not a requirement.

(We still have the old Acer S680G HD loaded with win7)

If the new computer has at least 4GB memory and accepting slots.

(We also have 2x 2GB Memory sticks from Acer S680G)

For a minimum of 8GB memory in total.

 

If someone is up with CPU/RAM and Graphics I have a question:

 

I would like your advice on the new PC CPU/Graphics card combination.

Regarding the Acer Veriton X4630G with Intel HD Graphics 4600.

The maximum shared Vram Memory is about 2GB, but said to be of lesser value then onboard versions?

Is there anything else around this price range with better performance when used for the purpose of video color grading and associated editing?

 

These are all the options in Available Graphics, some of which is outside budget.

Firepro V3750

FirePro V4900

GeForce 210

Geforce 7600 Gs

Geforce 8800 Gt

GeForce 9300

Geforce 9400 Gt

Geforce 9500 Gt

Geforce G210

Geforce Gtx 260

Geforce Gtx 275

Geforce Gtx 460

HD GRAPHICS

Integrated/On-Board Graphics

Intel 4 Series Graphics

Intel HD 530 Graphics

INTEL HD 6000 GRAPHICS

Nvs 300

Quadro 2000

Quadro Fx 1500

Quadro K2000

Quadro Nvs 295

Quadro Nvs 420

Radeon HD 8490 / R5 235X Oem

Radeon R5 340

Radeon Xpress 200 Series

 

Here is the page with PC box choices: https://www.reboot-it.com.au/used-computers/

I am looking at around $150 boxes, and could do with any direction you can offer.

Hence the question about Acer Veriton X4630G with Intel HD Graphics 4600.

 

Am I better off with GeForce 9500 GT “512MB of memory on board” or another option?

This Shared Memory is very hard to compare without any experience!

You will not be able to download or install any Premiere Pro CC version earlier than 2019 13.1.5 (which now requires Windows 10 just to even run at all) any more. You see, Adobe now restricts version availability to the two newest major versions. This, plus the fact that you now have absolutely no PC at all, results in the conclusion that you will be stuck with absolutely nothing for the foreseeable future.

 

In other words, you're now completely out of luck.

I think Ryzen 9 3900x is the processor for video editing purpose but it is litile costly. Ryzen 5 3600 is budgeted processor for gaming and normal purpose. Intel i7 9700k is one of the best intel reasonable processor. For more deails you can check here.

Not any more (as far as the i7-9700K is concerned). That CPU has only eight threads total despite having eight physical cores. As such, it is actually weaker these days than today's 6-core/12-thread CPUs. And support for the now-almost-three-year-old CPU is becoming more and more limited, especially since the 300-series Intel chipsets that are required for that 9th-Gen i7 are inching closer and closer to "legacy" or "vintage" support status.

 

If the user has a beefy enough power supply unit, then the 6-core/12-thread i5-11600K would be a better choice. The Ryzen 5 5600X is a bit more powerful but also more expensive. Both of those 6-core/12-thread CPUs equal or beat their previous-gen 8-core/16-thread counterparts in all-around performance.

Hi

You have to go with Ryzen 9 5900x or Ryzen 9 3900x for best option if you have no issues of budget.

But if you have budget issues then go with ryzen 5 3600x.If you want to know about best cpu for video editing just Read here.

I will recommend you to buy the latest RTX 30 graphics cards for best experience.

Thanks

Sorry, but none of those platforms are officially compatible with Windows 7. And the discussion starter has not posted anything on these forums in nearly 10 months. So your response puts this discussion off topic.

Premiere CC 2018 is saved in documents and installed on Harddrive.

Have lost job and have very limited money due to Corona virus.

Still need to choose PC box with above limmitation

I deleted the part of my response. There has NEVER been a CC 2008 at all. Never. In fact, Adobe's products in 2008 were only sold as full retail disks. The Creative Cloud did not come into existence at all until 2012, when CS6 was released.

 

With that said, you're now out of luck at this point. Completely. You cannot just move your old system's HDD to a new system: More than likely the OS install will not work properly or at all. And if you must reinstall the OS, then you must also reinstall all of your apps. And then, you cannot get any version of Premiere Pro prior to the CC 2019 version. The last CC version that was compatible with Windows 7, CC 2018, is now no longer available any more - anywhere.

Anybody used HD Graphics 4600 Shared Memory?

How it might compare with Onboard Memory Graphics cards.

There is also this card for $35 - ATI FirePro V4900 1GB DDR5 128-bit DVI

Should I be worried about a card with Cuda compatability for Premiere CC 2018 performance?

 

I have not got the money or need to worry about the future, just trying to get by day to day.
