My PC is not using 100% of GPU

[Smarley]

Hi guys, I have a PC without GPU and render time was very slow.

So, I got with a friend one Geforce GTX 1060 6Gb and install it today.

The render time reduce a lot, from 15min to 6min for ex.

But the use of GPU is not in 100%, the configuration at General/Preferences is Hardware Aceleration with CUDA.

The memory in GPU was very low to, but my output file was only 650MB.

Now I need to buy a GPU to me, and return this to my friend.

With I´m not using 100%? It´s because my CPU or RAM?

If I buy an GTX 1050ti the perfomance will be the same in my case?

I´m glad with 6min of render, and don´t want to change the PC.

In my home I have anothe PC, with a core i5 8400, maybe with this CPU should be faster?

The files are in my server, and I acess them directly to work by the network.

But I noted that Premier do a buffer in my PC, and only export the final file by the LAN at the end, so, my 100Mb LAN should not be a problem.

My PC:

Intel Core i5 4460

Asus H81M-A/BR

8Gb DDR3 1666Mhz

SSD Kingston 120Gb SV300S37A120G

100Mb LAN

Thanks!

Ok, but my videos today are around 500MB, so the SSD speed for writing I think it´s not a problem.

Now I´m pretty sure that need this 8400 for editing, the 4460 is ver slow compared to it.

Maybe put more 8Gb os RAM would be better, today is using almost every memory.

Yes, that i5-4460 would be sluggish compared to the i5-8400, judging by the 835-second CPU-only PPBM MPEG-2 DVD export results with the i5-4570. The 4460 would have scored somewhere between 850 and 900 seconds on that same test. That makes the i5-8400 nearly twice as powerful as the i5-4460.
