OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE SYSTEM for HD and 4K - updated Q1 2025

OPTIMAL CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16 core / 32 thread (4,2-5,7 GHz)

ALTERNATIVE CPU:  AMD Ryzen 9 7900 12 core / 32 thread (3,7- 5,4 GHz)

MOTHERBOARD: ASRock / Asus ROG / Gigabyte

RAM: 32 GB, 4x8GB  in Quad channel mode (4 DIMMs are strongly suggested)

OPTIMAL GPU: Nvidia A4000 GDDR6 16 GB ECC (4xDP 1.4)

ALTERNATIVE GPU:  Nvidia Geforce RTX3060 12GB or RTX3070 (ivsBench 2.0 GPU test 651 fps @1920x1080, 145fps @ 4096x2160)

STORAGE: SSD based RAID subsystem

 

MEDIUM PERFORMANCE SYSTEM

CPU: Intel Core i7 5820K, Six Core, 12 Threads, @4.06GHZ (ivsSpeedTester CPU Copy Mem ~1250 FPS 1920x1080)

MOTHERBOARD: Asus X99-E (BIOS tuned - XMP profile #2)

RAM: 4x4GB G.SKILL DDR4 2133MHz CL15  in Quad channel mode (4 DIMMs are required)

GRAPHIC CARD: AMD RADEON R9 380X 4GB GDDR5 (ivsSpeedTester GPU test ~220 FPS 1920x1080)

ALTERNATIVE GRAPHIC CARD: Nvidia GEFORCE GTX1050TI (ivsSpeedTester GPU test ~190 FPS 1920x1080)

 

MINIMUM HD PERFORMANCE SYSTEM

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-7600  (ivsSpeedTester CPU Copy Mem ~1488 FPS 1920x1080)

MOTHERBOARD: Asus Z170K

RAM: 2x4GB G.SKILL DDR4* 2133MHz CL9 in Dual channel mode (2 dimms are required)

GRAPHIC CARD: AMD Radeon R7 260X (ivsSpeedTester GPU test ~230 FPS 1920x1080 on Z87-C)

ALTERNATIVE GRAPHIC CARD: CPU integrated Intel HD 630 (ivsSpeedTester GPU test ~190FPS 1920x1080)

 

IMPORTANT NOTEs: All systems using DDR2 DIMMs, are usually not fast enought for HD editing. Low power CPUs from Intel (with name ending with T) are usually too slow for any editing experience with ivsEdits. Few Nvidia Quadro GPUs are in the guidelines for their price/performance ratio, but some models, including Quadro K5200, P4000 and newer ones, are certified too.
