Upgrading workstation CPU / Mobo to work with 4K (and maybe barely 6K)
Budget: $1500-2000
Purpose: This is a bit weird, but I want to edit 6K via proxies which means I need to edit 6K but only at 10 or 5 frames per second. So basically this should be a 4K editing workstation with maybe a little more punch.
The system I have now:
- i7 5930K
- Asus Rampage V Extreme motherboard
- RTX 2070 8GB
- 64GB G-Skill "Ripjaws 4" 8x8GB DDR4 3000MHz running at 2133MHz(I think)
- Cooler master MR 1000W power supply
- a 256GB samsung M.2 drive of some sort
- A mixed bag of drives.
So my major concern, and the purpose of this post, is to replace the CPU and motherboard. Everything else will stay the same, and I will address storage at another time. The only issue is that the motherboard needs to be ready to take storage. For example, it would be nice to have 2 m.2 slots, not 1.
I am thinking about going for the
Ryzen 9 3900X
- Will this CPU work with my existing memory? ( Remember the bad old days of Ryzen's memory issues.)
- Is this sufficient to edit 4K footage smoothly?
Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming ATX
- Has 2 m.2 slots.
PC gurus, in your estimation, can this rig play 6K footage at a whopping 5 frames per second?
Edit: Sorry, 6K raw, specifically braw (Black Magic Raw from the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K)
