Help for gpu recommendation that has CUDA for i3-10100 for video editing and gamimg
Posted by pembunuhUpahan@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 9 comments
I got this PC as a birthday gift from my wonderful family and friends. I do video editing with premiere, after effects, Davinci Resolve and Maya.
My friends got me AMD rx570 to go with i3-10100, since he's a gamer which is alright for gaming as I play mostly Tekken 8 on low resolution and also 2xko at 1080p
However I feel my current rig is underutilized for video editing side. Premiere Pro for example utilize CUDA gpu like nvidia rather than openCL by AMD. For 3D software like maya, I couldn't use arnold gpu rendering at all since it's not CUDA
Looking for a recommendation for GPU for now. I'm thinking maybe rtx 2060 or rtx 3050 or 3060 for both 1080p gaming's and video editing due to bottlenecking. Any other suggestions?

whats your budget ..and whats your psu rated for?
pembunuhUpahan@reddit (OP)
Around $250 - $300
My PSU is 600W
16GB RAM

so, an NVIDIA card under 300? kinda tricky. If you're confident youre sticking to 1080p then we can get away with an 8GB VRAM card for a few more years..but afterwards it's just not gonna be enough for new titles that keep pushing that number

You can go with a 3070, solid value pick that will handle everything for a few more years.
5060 is a choice too..but paying another 125 bucks for practically the same performance for a card you're likely gonna upgrade from anyway doesnt make much sense IMO

Oh? I can getaway with 3070 on i3-10100? I thought it would bottleneck. I was aiming 3050 or 3060 due to the bottleneck issue
i3 10th gen is rather old tho, if I were to get the newest gpu, my cpu couldn't take it anyway right? If I were to upgrade, may as well upgrade cpu and mobo but that would costs so much more.
I was thinking for the time being, something that I can utilize CUDA since I'm on rx 590 right now, I couldn't utilize the CUDA abilities on video editing softwares

it can bottleneck in games..editing software not as much. the 3070 will help a lot there, and you can upgrade that cpu to something like an i7-11700 later to not only lift the bottleneck but get much more power for video editing

Ah I see, thank you for that. I appreciate the suggestion. To safeguard if I want to upgrade my pc with other parts in the future
When you say it can bottleneck in games, do you mean if I scale up the game setting from low to high? Or even at the same setting it will bottleneck?
For example 1080p low settings on rtx 3060 vs 1080p low settings on rtx 3070, rtx 3070 will still bottleneck
Upon quick research, 3060 has 12 gb vram which says is good for preventing memory full during export but 3070 has more Cuda cores has faster rendering and export. I guess it's cuda cores vs Vram have to be taken into account too

also, that 12GB VRAM memory might help more if youre doing a lot of 4K stuff..but if not the 3070 will be significantly faster

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback. I have a better understanding on what to get now, thank you again for your help.
Expecially for the VRAM and CUDA cores aspect. Thank you so much

the bottleneck lessens more as you go to higher resolutions .. not as much the detail settings.
