So , The thing is I bought a PC 4 months ago and the Computer Specifications are :
CPU : Core i5 12400f Motherboard : PRO H610M-E DDR4 Lightning Gen 4 GPU : ASUS DUAL RTX 3060 Ti 8GB RAM : XPG 32gb RAM ( Single Stick ) PSU : Aerocool LUX 550W 80 Plus Bronze Storage : 2TB SSD ( Forgot about the brand ._. ) Cooler : IDE Cooling SE-903 XT
These are the specifications of the computer and I'm a full time video editor , I mostly edit 1080p videos and sometimes 4k in which I do not use alot of effects. The problem I'm facing is that many people on the internet says this is the best pc for intermediate level editing while I face problems even while editing in 1080p , A simple masking in 1080p footage makes my pc lag as hell and The renderning time is peak slow , Even if I use GPU accelerated effects I see enormous lag and late renderning times , I never encountered problems while editing before in a I5 3rd gen and 1050ti , this pc seems to struggle more than that which worries me alot what might be the actual Problem , So If anyone has any idea what may be inflicting such lag on my softwares than I'd be really grateful. Thank you!
I don't know who would have listed that CPU as a mid-level NLE chip ... it's only six cores, and doesn't have an iGPU, so no Intel QuickSync hardware H.264/5 encoding or decoding is possible.
While my four year old Ryzen CPU doesn't have QuickSync, it is 24 cores ... and for some time, many users have been suggesting 12+ cores for a decent/forward-looking machine.
So working with any H.264/5 long-GOP media (mp4) is gonna be a potential struggle point. Besides not that many cores.
The Intel K chips have iGPUs ... internal GPU bits ... and can do 'hardware' accelerated H.264/5 processing. In other words, they have chip bits expressly designed in circuitry to do the computations. That is a massive boost if doing any long-GOP processing.
So having a chip with 12 or more cores, with an iGPU and QuickSync, would be a big step up. That and having more 'lanes' in use to spread out the processing pathways on the motherboard I know have tended to be very useful. I'm not versed on the motherboards though.
@RjL190365 knows this stuff in amazing detail. And pops in once in a while to help.
So If I upgrade my Proceesor to to the Intel I5 12600K processor do I need to change the motherboard aswell or it would work just fine with this one? What do you propose in this situation.
I need to see my budget aswell as I just bought this pc 4 months ago
No need to change the motherboard. You might want to, however, if you're planning to upgrade to an i7 or i9 CPU because the H610 motherboards' VRMs cannot handle a higher-end CPU that draws more current than an i5 can.
Well , Currently I'm reinstalling windows into another SSD as I checked using a third party software the health of my current OS installed SSD and it has around 15 bad sectors , I'll see if that makes any change!
Something to keep in mind with an i5 is that while it'll render the effects in the Timeline and export the Timeline successfully, it's going to be slower than a same-generation i7 or i9.
