I just upgraded from Core i7-3770K to Intel Core i7-4790K and am using powerdirector 12
for video editing. On the 3770k i could do WMV 1080p 30min clip and get it done in 12 - 15 min.
But with the 4790k it takes 45min. on the the 3770k hardware acceleration was available with 4790k it's not. Is there something on the 3770k chip thats missing on the 4790k? I also had a ati 7770 video card in the old system but have yet to get a video card for the new PC. (trying to get the best video card for editing) So my question is this a chip issue or is it the lack of the video card. Waht enabled the hardware accleration cpu or video card?
 
Solution
If you still have the old one, why not throw the GPU in the new one and see what your times of render are then? Also, he did have to change the motherboard as a 4790k would not fit in a z77 board... different sockets.

There is probably the lack of video card accelerating the render because the 4790K is better than the 3770K. Give us also your temperatures on idle and load, voltages and the motherboard and PSU models if you can.

I actually got a good deal on a new PC so here is some stats for the old and new
The old PC has

700 Watts XG-H700
Core™ i7-3770K overclocked to 4.5 GHz
Memory 32GB Ripjawsx ddr3-1600
240 GB OCZ Agility 3 SATA-III 6.0Gb/s SSD - 525MB/s Read & 500MB/s Write 240GB x 4 Raid 0
VIDEO AMD Radeon HD 7770 1GB

The New has
motherboard GIGABYTE Z97x-SLI
1000 Watts AZZA Titan
Core™ i7-4790K overclocked to 4.6 GHz
memory 16GB DDR3/1866MHz ADATA XPG V2 (ram i will upgrade later but never saw my old PC go over 8GB)
256GB ADATA SP900 SATA-III 6.0Gb/s - 555 MB/s Read & 530 MB/s Write 256GB x 4 Raid 0

There was no strictly need to upgrade the motherboard, a BIOS update would have sufficed. But still worth because of the future Broadwell (not that I would reccomend to upgrade from Haswell-R to Broadwell anyway).
Also why on hell did you go from 32 GB to 16??? Don't you know that RAM clock speed performance is a myth? The better is the size, not the speed.

You could have spend all the unnecessary on a good videocard :\

For temperature, a program like OCCT or Prime95, keep it running for 30 minutes and monitor temperatures with Speccy or HWMonitor.

It's a different computer all together (i still own the old and plan on selling it to cover the new) Because i got a great deal i bought a new PC several years before i planned. Because i do alot of video rendering i wanted Haswell. About the Ram i know the better speed doesn't make a difference (i just haven't seen my pc use near that much) and will get another 16GB later.
