Question

RT/Tensor Cores and the future of Pr, AE, Ps ...

Hey Im planning on building  my new workstation  soon for  Editing/VFX,  let me know what you think. I have   2 routes  either the Intel i9 9900K route  or  the AMD  Threadripper 1920X or 1950X.

Here are the links for the builds :

Intel : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/32gpLJ

AMD : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xjwj9J

The intel build is  slightly cheaper but the AMD build have more cores and  better for  multithreading and multitasking.

My Question is if we will see in the future of the adobe suite integration of the new RT/Tensor  core  and the Deep learning capabilities. Or should I switch to an 1080ti (maybe 2 depending on work )

My previous (3-4 year old) setup was a dual 960 with i7 4720 @2.6Ghz (No OC) and 16GB ram

Let me know what you think and if RT/Tensor core will be implemented into video editing/VFX

Best place to post this is the associated Hardware forum  ... link to it on the right of the Overview page of this forum.

And ... look at the Puget Systems and Safeharbor Computing pages, two of the best custom building shops for video post editing/grading/fx work, even to installing the apps for you. They have a ton of information on their sites, including which parts are worth the money together.

Note ... they use very few CPUs and mobos, as even some apparently high powered spendy CPUs don't actually work well for video post, especially compared to others of less cost.

And most mobos do not have their lanes and resources set well for the number of resource-demanding cards and externals we tend to need. So conflicts in data movement slow down even some spendy "gamer" mobos when used with video post work.

And last ... don't choose something because it's great at gaming video  ... our resources demands are very different.

yeah the only  reason I  chose the "gaming" RTX in the build was because of the price point it had compared to similar  models  which  were 20-30% more expensive. But I'll check out some  alternative GPUs on Puget. As for RT/Tensor cores  and  adobe suite do you  think  it has a future or is it just a  dud ?

Too soon to say to me.
