My 8-core Ryzen is definitely faster at rendering in Kdenlive than my 4-core i7 at a higher clock speed.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I wouldn't go with a Quadro or FirePro. Unfortunately/fortunately, most open-source apps work best with consumer-level graphics cards (GeForce/Radeon). My understanding is that the developers are more likely to have these cards and their APIs are more likely to be open. Workstation-class cards will still work, but it will just end up being slower without the optimized drivers/API.<br></div><div><br></div><div>At any rate, Kdenlive (and any other MLT-based editor) doesn't utilize GPU processing nearly as much as, say, DaVinci Resolve, so even though you might have a slightly better experience with higher-end graphics, you won't see dramatic improvements in rendering times or effect previewing. CPU is much more important right now.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'd love to be corrected by devs if I'm wrong on any of this.<br></div><div><br></div><div>- Jacob Kauffmann</div><div><br></div><div>On Wed, Mar 6, 2019, at 2:40 PM, Jogchum Reitsma wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="fastmail-quoted"><div class="fastmail-quoted-moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br></div><div class="fastmail-quoted-moz-cite-prefix"><br></div><div class="fastmail-quoted-moz-cite-prefix">I don't know the minimum requirements,
