Hello community,
Iā€™m faced with choosing a new workstation.
Intel i9 14900k or i7 14700k? Is it worth paying extra for an i9 processor?
The GPU Iā€™m considering is RTX 4080 Super or RTX 4070 Ti Super. Maybe mix it up to make the price of the set affordable?
I typically process 720p VHS video from an HDMI capturer to 1080p via Iris and 1080p to 4K via Artemis/Proteus
Thanks for your replies

Iris still very slow.

Is this also on Adrenalin 24.2.1?
Something seems really broken when RDNA2 beats RDNA3.

Iā€™m still on 24.1.1, didnā€™t realize there was an update.

What RDNA3 am I beating??

Iā€™m surprised my 6900xt is being beaten by 6800xt. I imagine the new 7000 series processors theyā€™re using is why.

Just look a few posts above.
Iā€™m using an overclocked Sapphire Radeon 7900 XTX Nitro+ on an unlocked Ryzen 5950X and some results are barely better or even slightly worse.
Last yearā€™s drivers are better for TVAI workloads.

My AMD 7900XTX and nVidia 3090 are pretty close in performance with the AMD slightly better overall. I havenā€™t tested my 4090 nor 3060 yet.

above was stock, below was after tweak. both capped at 235w power limit.
both was using ram 6200mhz CL28 FCLK2200.
adrenaline 23.11.1 - i think 24.1.1 gave a little better speed in topaz but anything after 23.11.1 kept crashing my davinci resolve.

i found that gpu FCLK has almost no impact on topazā€™s speed performance, because of that i underclocked my FCLK from 1940mhz down to 1300mhz, and because of that i was able to also underclock the soc clock from 1200mhz to 870mhz, undervolt soc (from 1150mv down to 875mv) and memory (vddci 650mv and mvdd 1250mv) and use those saved power to boost the core clock.

if u want to try please make sure you have a backup copy of the stock vbios and an igpu ready beforehand, god knows how many times i thought i have bricked the card in the process.

ngl for just a little bit more money i wish i had gone for a used 3080.

dont understand why but i noticed when i do the benchmark with spotify opened and playing a song it gives me 3-4% better fps

Iā€™ve noticed some of the numbers, like Artemis 4X, can fluctuate by 2. Like it usually reports around 3.10 fps, but there have been times it reports around 5.10 fps.
