Hi, I built a new PC recently with a Ryzen 9 5900X but faced some challenges getting a new Nvidia RTX 3000 graphics card, especially since there were supply issues. I ended up using a GTX 1660. Since my main tasks are video editing and rendering, I wanted to know whether I should use the CPU or the GPU for rendering, or if I can rely on software to handle it automatically. Thanks!

You can try it by picking your chosen display device, though not all features will run smoothly on GPU or CPU. It will figure out which tasks each handles best. You may want to check because your model is 1660 and the 5900x could be quicker. It's hard to say for sure.
