I'm not a video editing person, but doesn't VRAM usually help as well with 4K? If so, the 8GB on an RX 580 8GB may help.

Wish there was a similarly polished free program for photos.
Are you sure no OpenCL for Davinci Resolve? Their eGPU is a Radeon Pro 580. Seems odd that they'd peddle an AMD GPU if their software doesn't include acceleration for it.
DaVinci Resolve 15 now has full Fusion visual effects and motion graphics built in! The Fusion page gives you a complete 3D workspace with over 250 tools for compositing, vector paint, keying, rotoscoping, text animation, tracking, stabilization, particles and more. With new Apple Metal and CUDA GPU processing, the Fusion page is faster than ever!

The fact they're mechanical won't matter for 4K footage which is the definition of best-case data for those drives. Soft-RAID using the motherboard on two drives will probably net you 300-350MB/s and three drives closer to 500MB/s. They'll keep up those speeds without getting tired like a TLC NAND SSD once the cache runs out..

Do you mean instead of the 970 EVO (even if I took it to a 970 1TB PRO) ?
For storage/backups I plan to add 5TB/6TB/8TB 7200 RPM SATA HDDs.
Chrispy_ wrote:The 970 EVO is in that list and actually looks like it'll be fine. It loses two thirds of its performance potential almost immediately - teeny tiny SLC cache I guess - but at least its steady-state write speed is plenty fast enough.
SSD's vary immensely in their sustained write performance, but the 970 EVO appears to be a good'un. The thing I'm talking about has coincedentally just reared it's head in this thread with an "up to 1200MB/s" drive actually running at no more than 150MB/s.

I would put myself firmly in the 'rubbish amateur who dabbles with GoPro footage' category, but I do work with enterprise storage all day every day so I'm well aware of the difference between short review-score performance of SSDs and real-world, sustained hammering performance of SSDs.

Are either of these going to make much of a difference to the DDR-3000 cas 15 ?
