I have an old desktop that I think needs a new PSU as it's losing power soon after turning on.
It's specs: Core 2 Quad Q9400, GTX 260, 6GB DDR2 RAM

I also have a laptop
Its specs: i5-2410m, GT 540M, 6GB DDR3 RAM

Of the two, which would be faster editing/rendering within After Effects? I'm trying to figure out if it would be worth replacing the PSU on the desktop.

Thanks

The laptop is by far the better of the 2. It has an i5 & Gt540m both are far faster then the latter, good luck...

When I looked at a side by side of the graphics cards the GTX 260 looked better in almost all aspects though, also for video rendering I looked at a comparison between the two CPUs and for multi threaded tasks the Core 2 Quad is meant to be 12% faster (a lot less for single thread tasks though)

I was under the impression rendering videos does take advantage of the multiple cores which is why I'm unsure




Don't...
