Video Card

[WME_Training]

I have been doing a few short videos here and there but I'm about to start doing longer videos and doing it more often.

I'm building a new machine.

Intel Core i7-7820X

EVGA X299 MB

256 GB Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2

250 GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD SATA III

32 GB DDR4 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300) SR x8 DIMM 288-Pin Memory

I also got a nice Corsair H80i v2 closed-loop liquid cooler and some nice Noctura fans. I'm going to try and overclock it some.

I have an old GeForce GTX 480 from a gaming computer I don't use any more.

I don't plan to use After Effects or 3d or 4k or anything fancy.

I'm just making screen recordings and cutting them up.

I'm probably going to keep doing the editing on my MacBook.

My only reason for this new machine is to export video to post to youtube and other places.

A 17-minute simple video took 50 minutes on my MacBook recently.

I'm assuming the above specs will make that considerably faster.

Would a good video card make it even faster?

A video card is not much help during export
