As for Sony Vegas 12, the minimum system requirements are quite low, 4GB RAM, 2GHz CPU, 512MB GPU and maybe double those for recommended.]]> Mon, 04 May 2015 01:54:33 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4955-specs-debating-whether-to-get-a-new-computer.aspx Also to spent $700-$800 in the US.

your usages very well.

As a gamer, I look at things a little differently and I have to say that I don't think these
things will affect you but I do feel that I have to point them out.

The i7-4770 is a very powerful CPU but it can't be over-clocked like the 4770K. The motherboard
only has single PCIe x16 Slot so you wouldn't be able to add a second card in SLI or Crossfire,
The case has a very small form factor and there is only a single cooling fan so you wouldn't be
able to dissipate the heat anyway. In any case the PSU is only 460 Watt which is not enough to support a second card. The 32GB SSD will not be running the operating system as it is too small and instead would act as a flash cache for the hard drive,

Having said all that, this is still a good moderate gaming machine and I doubt that you would be wanting to over-clock or add a second card anyway.

Thanks to its low price, a lot of storage, memory and a high tier processor, they make it a great value machine.

As for the video card, although they are both around the same price, in most cases the Radeon R9 270 will outperform the GTX 750 Ti although the power consumption is three times higher and the L2 Cache just a quarter of the 750 Ti. The Radion's resolution performance is better. It's memory Bus at 256 Bit is twice that of the 750 Ti as are it's shader processing units, pixal rate, texture rate, texture mapping and render output units.

Will it be a big improvement over your current laptop set up? Hell Yeah!]]> Sun, 03 May 2015 17:55:36 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4955-specs-debating-whether-to-get-a-new-computer.aspx

I can also get the same computer with the the GTX 750 Ti without the bluray for the same price.

But for video editing, you may be better off with an i7 (it has Hyper Threading), this one looked good:-

Has DDR4 memory and also has an SSD which will load Windows and a selection of selected programs very fast.

Have a browse through over at Newegg, there are also quite a few cheaper then the above. meanwhile, I'll see what else I can find.]]> Fri, 01 May 2015 21:26:45 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4955-specs-debating-whether-to-get-a-new-computer.aspx
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance]]> Fri, 01 May 2015 00:22:31 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4955-specs-debating-whether-to-get-a-new-computer.aspx https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ and you will find yours fairly low down in the Mid Range chart.

I'm a gamer and as such, it is very important to get the best bang for buck. So my first question would be "How much is your budget?" The second would be, "What will your be using your machine for mostly?"

The good news is that without spending a fortune, you should see a vast improvement using Muvizu on a new desktop computer on a modest budget, when compared to your current set up.]]> Thu, 30 Apr 2015 18:15:50 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4955-specs-debating-whether-to-get-a-new-computer.aspx Thu, 30 Apr 2015 16:51:47 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4955-specs-debating-whether-to-get-a-new-computer.aspx http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+HD+8450G&id=2595

Pretty much any video card you can buy for a desktop will crush your 8450 - I'd recommend something that scores in the 2000 or 3000 range at least. Load times are dependant on your CPU, and laptop processors are very underpowered (by necessity) so you'd want at least an i5 (or i7 if you can afford it). Hope that helps ]]> Thu, 30 Apr 2015 16:44:26 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4955-specs-debating-whether-to-get-a-new-computer.aspx
I was thinking about getting a desktop, but wasn't sure it would be much of an improvement over my current laptop set up. The only real issues I have are loading times of larger sets at times and camera movement seems to slow down during movement at times . Here is what I am running now on my laptop .
LAPTOP
Windows 8.1
Process or AMD A6-5350M with Radeon™ HD 8450G
2.9MHZ (says up to 3.5mhz)
Graphics- AMD Radeon HD 8450G
8 GB Ram

Can someone who knows about this stuff tell me if a new Desktop would make that much of a difference in performance? Thanks in advance
