Hi Tom's Community. I've been reading this forum for years and always seem to get my answers. It's a great web resource. But I have one particular problem that I can't solve and it might require spending a lot to solve. I have a pretty beefy computer that I've built up over the past year and a half. I do video editing and some 2D animation but didn't want to get a Mac. Mostly Adobe Premiere and After Effects with lots of layers. I also have multiple Adobe CC programs running at the same time like Illustrator and Audition. I was hoping to get to the point where I could replay at full resolution the timeline without stuttering. But I'm thinking that my motherboard is the issue at this point. I have:
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK 1150 motherboard
4790 processor BX80646I74790 (not overclocked, Noctua cooler)
32gb ram matched Kingston HyperX Fury
Sandisk Ultra II SSD 480gb boot drive
Samsung 950pro 512gb NVME in the M2 slot as my active working drive
Two WD 4TB black drives for storage
EVGA Founders 1070 video card
EVGA 770 card superclocked and ACX cooled
Corsair RM850 power supply
2 Asus 24" IPS monitors
I know that I'd probably benefit by getting a new 1151 board and CPU (like this Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170), especially with the 950 pro which would run at 32gb/sec on a newer board. But really, how much of a perceived boost would i really get? The old board has SLI capability so I could also try buying another 1070 which would be a little cheaper than buying a new CPU and motherboard. Perhaps there's another bottleneck that I haven't even thought of? Thanks for any help the community can offer.
