What CPU upgrade should I consider for video editing?

-

Hey everyone! I’ve got a setup with an Nvidia 2060 Super graphics card, an Intel Core i7-9700F running at 3.00GHz, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. I do some light video editing, use OBS, and play games like Minecraft and Call of Duty. Recently, I’ve noticed that my CPU usage spikes to around 74-85% while editing, whereas my GPU is only at about 25% and my RAM is sitting at 55%. I’m thinking about upgrading my CPU, but I’m unsure which one would be best for my needs. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you’re running into some CPU bottlenecking during your video editing. If you’ve got a budget of around $200, I’d recommend looking at CPUs like the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 or even the Intel Core i5-10400F if you’re sticking with Intel. Both should give you a nice performance boost, especially for multitasking and video encoding.

Thanks for the recommendations! I mostly export my videos at 1080p, so I’m hoping that a new CPU will help speed things up.
