These are the main GPU brands, which have now also moved into AI and smartphones. With growing capital across the techscape, these companies\u2019 GPUs are becoming more and more coveted by the hour, so when buying, it\u2019s good to know what your money is being spent on and why.&nbsp;<br><br>Generally, when choosing a card you&#8217;ll find names such as &#8220;Geforce RTX 5070&#8221; and to add further complication, there&#8217;s also the &#8220;Geforce RTX 5070ti&#8221; which is a much better card. Generally, you might be led to believe that card performance graduates per release and these numbers go up in order. However, expert opinions differ due to the value for money concept. The GeForce RTX 4090 was released in <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest GPUs will be the most powerful options on the market, but for the price and given what you\u2019re using them for, you may be better off allocating your budget to a more powerful CPU and better monitor(s) for multitasking.

Whilst the graphics cards certainly aren\u2019t low-end, the majority of the power is in the 12-core CPU. These PCs offer multi-purpose performance, with enough power to render somewhat complex 3D models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"VFX-and-AI-GPU\">VFX and AI GPU<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are into some seriously complex editing, maybe you\u2019re planning to make your own film with believable CGI, or run an AI model locally, you have a few options: If you\u2019re rendering an extremely complex CGI scene, you can outsource your rendering to a server farm. The downside to this is that whilst you might save yourself months of rendering time, there is always a risk with outsourcing of cybersecurity threats, and an NDA might not permit you to do so; many VFX studios use a combination of both local server farms and cloud rendering. For AI users, you might be considering purchasing an entirely separate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk\/category\/workstation-pcs\/ai\/\">AI workstation<\/a>&#8211; an option for those who love running local models.<br><br>If you want to run your own mini server for on-site rendering or simply want to see how far a GPU can go, you can task your rendering to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk\/system\/infinity-4u-server\">Infinity 4U Server<\/a> that runs a graphics card capable of moving mountains (in 3D). The NVIDIA\u00ae RTX\u2122 PRO 2000 Blackwell is a card specifically adapted to 3D rendering; however, for gaming, you will see a similar or lesser performance to the 5070. If you need a rendering monster and money isn\u2019t an issue, the NVIDIA\u00ae RTX\u2122 PRO 6000 Blackwell will tear through rendering, AI tasks and triple-A gaming, but the price point of a server fitted with this card at more than \u00a312,000 means this card is one for serious professional artists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What-Else-do-I-Need-for-Video-Editing?\">What Else do I Need for Video Editing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What you need depends entirely on your interests in work and hobbies. A streamer will need a high-quality webcam, microphone, and a PC capable of extreme multitasking. A videographer and editor will need a streamlined build to handle software that will work your CPU (central processor), and for motion graphics, VFX, and 3D modelling, you\u2019ll need a rendering machine with enough processing power to compute billions of geometric calculations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to try your hand at sculpting or painting, you\u2019ll also need a drawing tablet to integrate pen pressure into your workflow for dynamic brush strokes. A screen tablet is easier to adjust to, but a pen tablet is more affordable, and there are plenty of brands to choose from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What-is-4k-and-8k?\">What is 4k and 8k?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The future of quality is paved with new components, AI implementation and even bigger screens. 4k and even 8k are optimum for high-quality editing to match the fidelity of every screen. These amounts refer to the number of horizontal pixels on a screen, with resolutions ranging from 720p, 1080p, 1440p, to close to 4000 pixels known as 4k, and close to 8000 pixels known as 8k. These resolutions don\u2019t necessarily mean that screens are getting larger, but they refer to the advancement in resolutions and increases in pixels per centimetre. Editing in 8k is optimal for performance and future-proofing your footage, but 4k is far more attainable and still a high standard for modern streaming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A GPU which can handle 4k doesn\u2019t need to be premium; a mid-tier GPU can usually handle that sort of work and game, but definitely not at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Building-a-Video-Editing-PC-Around-Your-Graphics-Card\">Building a Video Editing PC Around Your Graphics Card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are already set on a GPU, then that\u2019s great! All you need is the rest of your build, which should be super simple, right?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is, the GPU is just the beginning. If you want to build your own PC, then try our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk\/category\/custom-pcs\/\">build configurator<\/a> to find a CPU to match.<br>Other considerations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk\/blog\/uncategorised\/beginner-guide-liquid-cooling-pc\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk\/blog\/uncategorised\/beginner-guide-liquid-cooling-pc\/\">Cooling and AIO<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RAM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Motherboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compatibility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Compatibility is important to double-check when pairing components. As technology advances, sockets are refined and upgraded; as a result, some motherboards simply aren&#8217;t compatible with the latest parts, depending on size. Fan types and brands are also a key consideration.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Can-I-Play-Games-on-a-Video-Editing-PC?\">Can I Play Games on a Video Editing PC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can buy a top-tier PC, built to handle multiple functions and excel at editing, rendering, and gaming. For gaming, a decent GPU is necessary for real-time rendering, whilst editing and modelling software relies on a combination of CPU and GPU, with more lean towards CPU. However, not all expensive GPUs, which might be the best choice for 3D applications, are optimised for gaming. When choosing a PC, keep in mind raw performance and stability over gaming features; game rendering in real time is not the same as the requirements for building a model from scratch or storing, replaying and mixing sound and video. So, whilst a video editing PC will be able to play games, there are a few factors to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visuals vs. Frame Rates<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Ray tracing delivers stunning, lifelike lighting and reflections, pushing the visual quality of gaming ever closer to perfection. However, this level of realism comes at a cost, demanding significant GPU power and often resulting in a noticeable drop in raw frame rates (FPS). This matters little for editing unless you want to render in 3D or composite advanced visual effects, but a GPU that sacrifices raw speed for visual features may not be the best for real-time editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Native Resolution vs. AI Upscaling<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>To regain lost performance, many users turn to AI-driven solutions such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk\/blog\/core-knowledge\/what-is-dlss\/\">DLSS<\/a>. While effective, these technologies reconstruct images from a lower internal resolution, meaning you\u2019re trading true native clarity for an AI-enhanced version. In editing, accuracy is everything. AI upscaling tools are great for gaming performance, but when you\u2019re colour grading or working with fine detail, you\u2019ll want true native resolution. It\u2019s worth noting that you can turn off AI visual enhancement in your graphics card\u2019s driver settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost vs. Brand<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Accessing the most advanced ray tracing often requires premium GPUs, which is where a gaming PC and an editing PC meet in the middle. Editing software can be extremely demanding on both your GPU and CPU, whilst gaming is usually more GPU-demanding and places less load on your CPU. This is because the GPU renders in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Frequently-Asked-Questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-can-I-find-out-what-Graphics-Card-I-have?\">How can I find out what Graphics Card I have?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out what graphics card you have on Windows 11, right-click your Start menu and select System&gt; About, and your graphics card should be listed.
