With 2022 at a close, we wanted to look back at the sales trends we saw for CPU, GPU, storage, and OS.
What H.264 and H.265 Hardware Decoding is Supported in DaVinci Resolve Studio?
Davinci Resolve Studio supports hardware-based decoding for H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) which can significantly improve performance with these codecs, but not all “flavors” of these codecs are supported depending on the bit depth and chroma subsampling used. In addition, support can change depending on the capability of the hardware in your system. In order to determine exactly what is supported, we decided to do our own testing to see exactly what types of H.264/5 media has hardware decoding support in DaVinci Resolve Studio.
What H.264 and H.265 Hardware Decoding is Supported in Premiere Pro?
Premiere Pro supports hardware-based decoding for H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) which can significantly improve performance with these codecs, but not all “flavors” of these codecs are supported depending on the bit depth and chroma subsampling used. In addition, support can change depending on the capability of the hardware in your system.

Topaz AI: CPU & GPU Performance Analysis
Topaz AI is known for how exceptionally well they can iomprove images and videos, but they can be very hardware intensive. Exactly what CPU and GPU will give you the best performance?
PCI-Express 4.0 vs 3.0 Video Card Performance
PCI-Express has been the standard for connecting video cards and other expansion devices inside of computers for many years now, and several generations of the technology have now passed. With each of those generations, the amount of data that can be transferred over the PCIe connection has increased. How much impact does that have on modern video cards? Is there any benefit to running a PCIe 3.0 card in a 4.0 slot, or loss if using a 4.0 card in a 3.0 slot?
DaVinci Resolve Studio 16.1.2 Update – RED SDK improvements
The latest version of DaVinci Resolve (16.1.2) includes an update to the latest RED SDK which is supposed to greatly improve performance when working with R3D files in DaVinci Resolve. But exactly how much of an impact does this make in the real world? (Hint: it is a lot!)
Are the NVIDIA RTX video cards good for video editing?
The new RTX series from NVIDIA may not be great for Adobe applications, but they are great for DaVinci Resolve and are very interesting cards for the future due to two major new features: Tensor cores and RT cores.
Redshift 2.5.72 vs 2.6.11 Performance Comparison
Redshift is a GPU-based rendering engine, which recently updated from version 2.5.72 to 2.6.11. That update added compatibility with NVIDIA’s Volta GPU architecture, and cards like the Titan V, but did it also improve render speeds?
Redshift 2.6.11 GPU Performance Comparison
Redshift is a GPU-based rendering engine, and the latest version 2.6.11 introduced compatibility with NVIDIA’s Volta graphics architecture and cards like the Titan V. Lets take a look at how different GeForce and Titan models perform.
Redshift 2.6.11 Multi-GPU Performance Scaling
Redshift is a GPU-based rendering engine, but how well does its performance scale when multiple video cards are used in a system?
