Comparing 16GB and 32GB storage for local video recording with OBS and encoding.
Comparing 16GB and 32GB storage for local video recording with OBS and encoding.
Thanks, it actually clarified things. The 1660S runs at 192bit versus the 1650S at 128bit, has 6GB VRAM versus 4GB, and more CUDA cores. Those details might assist with video recording and encoding. Regarding frame rate—would you prefer 32GB RAM over 16GB? Let me know! Thanks.
The 1660S is definitely a stronger option, though it might not be useful in your case. If you share the programs you plan to run, I can provide a more confident response. Spending less on GPU and more on RAM would be beneficial, enabling you to handle more applications simultaneously or even utilize part of the RAM as an additional storage drive.
The program is named "Rhino," a 3D design tool that relies on just one CPU core for processing and uses the GPU for rendering improvements like anti-aliasing. You're aiming for a setup where the camera is visible over the desktop capture, with chroma keying applied, all while keeping performance stable. This approach ensures smooth encoding and display without interruptions. Thank you for your request.
According to what I've learned, Rhino is mainly CPU-intensive but can utilize GPU for certain tasks. When using the Raytraced viewport, opt for the most powerful GPU you can afford, such as a 2060 or even a 2060 Super. Otherwise, it's not necessary to upgrade.
Thank you for your guidance. The GPU usage is mainly limited to the raytraced viewport, which rarely gets utilized. I appreciate you removing that option, so I’m confident the 1650 SUPER or 1660 SUPER will suffice for recording videos in OBS. I’ll stick with the 1660 SUPER since it offers a slight improvement without a significant cost difference. I may try other rendering software that leverages GPU CUDA cores, as the 1660S provides more than the 1650S. Regarding RAM, I’ll test with 2x8GB; if it becomes a bottleneck, I’ll upgrade to more. Currently, my old PC has 2x2GB (800MHz), and aside from Chrome, it performs well. I expect 16GB would be sufficient. You mentioned it could work as a RAMDISK—if I run two NVMe 512GB drives at high speeds (one x4, the other x2 with 1000MB/s read), I should be fine. This setup could speed up OS and app launches, as well as large video file handling and post-production. Thank you for your assistance!
