High performance for 1080p and occasional 4K video editing
Our entry plus video editing PC offers a big step up in performance over the entry system. Firstly, the processor upgrade to the i7-10700 offers a useful performance boost. The i7 features hyper-threading technology and offers 16 virtual cores which in itself offers around 20% performance uplift over a non-hyper-threading processor such as the i7-9700 even though the processor frequency is similar. The system memory also doubles to a useful 32GB which is essential for editing 4K even for basic and relatively short clips. The storage is also greatly improved with separate drives for the OS and applications. Performance is improved via the use of the faster NVMe type SSD drives. Use the primary SSD for your OS and application installations and the second SSD for your scratch area and Premiere Pro cache. There is also a useful 4TB archive drive for your completed works.
The graphics is also upgraded to the GTX1660 Super 6GB. The additional video memory is useful and the increased processing power of the GTX 1660 Super helps speed up GPU accelerated tasks in Premier Pro.
The silent workstation chassis offers a mid sized, solidly built and flexible housing with internal soundproofing to both side panels to keep your workstation running quietly, even under load. There is also plenty of space for installing additional storage drives. The system can accept two 3.5″ SATA drives and another two 2.5″ SSD drives. Also, the computer comes already configures with 2 x M.2 high-performance SSDs so in total you can use six storage drives in this system. To add further storage drives to your PC in the configurator, hit the ‘Add Another’ button to the right-hand side of the primary storage drive header. Alternatively, contact us for a quote with additional storage options.
This PC also includes high performance WIFI and Bluetooth with the latest dual band wireless AC technology which is able to achieve speeds of up to 1733Mbps.
This system is aimed at those editing in 1080p and QHD (1440p) with a small amount of work in 4k occasionally. Take a look at our blogs to find out more about how your choice of PC components affects your overall system performance in Premier Pro.
