Hi guys,
I realise that these sort of posts are fairly regular here but things are moving on all the time.
I am currently looking to upgrade my computer for Resolume. I do not use a laptop but use a flight-cased rack-mount PC due to upgradability and using multiple outputs.
1. Firstly any suggestions on a rack-mount case suitable for touring or a good desktop case that can be flight-cased?
2. Processor - AMD or Intel? I would imagine that i7 is the way to go.
Does the amount of cores make any difference to Resolume? The i7 2600K benches much better than even the i7 990 and is vastly cheaper but is 6 cores better than 4 when accounting for the price difference
3. Graphics card - ATI or NVidia. two cards for multiple outputs or one card and a Matrox dual head to go? Also if I got one NVidia card and kept my current GTX 260 for extra outputs would I be taking a performance hit?
4. I already two Vertex 2 SSD drives for content and OS but would say a Vertex 3 make a big difference?
5. Memory - I take it this is a no brainer - not a priority but get as much as you can afford after graphics / processor.
I think this is everything for now.
Thanks,
Tim
