But such are things when dealing with such a subjective topic and are unavoidable. Admittedly, I put a lot of emphasis on reparability and modularity. None of the issues highlighted prevent me from using the laptop and finding it to be one of the best I’ve ever purchased. See if you can find it.The 11th gen variant has a few on-going issues, at least waiting to be ironed out (optimistically), or can’t be fixed (pessimistically).įor the record, I have 2 framework laptops (batch 1 and batch 5) and both of them are 100% usable. Vega 64 beats the rtx 2060, so i would expect vega 56 to be significantly better than the 1660 super/ti. I've looked at some gpu benchmarks and it seems vega cards do quite well for their price. Things change fast I guess? I got a EVGA G3 last time and it suddenly got listed as tier D+ potentially dangerous but in rather unrealistic situations >.>Īctually, sorry for the psu thing. I think I got the V-Gold 2018 version, which is tier A. which makes me think 1660 might barely fit the bill.

If I remember correctly, 1660 super is equal to or a tad below 1660 ti, but with faster VRAM. The one useful piece of info I found on Resolve's forum was that GTX 1070 was no slouch for HD. I was only able to find YT videos testing 4K video editing in Resolve with different GPUs. I'm just afraid that 1650 Super won't hold up to HD video editing and that 1600 Super will just fit the bill or barely skim by. RAM - 2x8GB 3200Mhz cl 16.don't really want to spend extra for 3600 cl18 or 3600 cl16 when the money could go into GPU or CPU. and MAX versions, whichever one justifies itself. Motherboard - MSI B450 Gaming Plus / Tomahawk / A-Pro. It'd be nice to keep the GPU cost around $320 CAD ($240 USD) or under if possible. I was looking at GTX 1650 4GB, but that seems like a bad idea. GPU - GTX 1660 Super 6GB or RX 580 8GB or even RX570 8GB. *Edit = I've been kind of convinced to go with 3600 since smooth editing feels more important than fast rendering where the pc can be left alone. But Resolve seems to benefit from more cores. They trade blows, and I just can't decide!ģ600 beats 2700X wherever composting with the Fusion tab is used. I also need some help choosing the CPU, although I think the difference between the two candidates are pretty minimal.ĬPU - I'm deciding between 2700X and 3600. I have the biggest problem is choosing the GPU as Resolve seems highly dependent on GPU. I'm really trying to cut cost where ever possible nevertheless. I'm located in Canada, the budget is tight, and the local used market for GPU isn't astounding. Not much effects, very basic compositing with image / text, very light color grading (or possibly none). I'm trying to build together a pc that will do 1080p video editing in Davinci Resolve.
