I recently assembled my initial desktop to improve performance for editing tasks. I assumed the components selected would suffice (details below), but when working with 4K at half resolution my system still experienced lag, freezing, and occasionally complete blackouts—only audio remained after a few hours of work (roughly 1.5 to 2 hours). Additionally, I aimed to support 4K content in full resolution. Based on your configuration, where would you recommend upgrading for better stability? Is there a diagnostic tool available to identify performance issues after extended use? You mentioned HWMonitor but haven’t seen clear results. It seems the cooling setup might be insufficient—you have three fans at the top, one at the back, and three fronts. Thanks! PCPartPicker link: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xxhk9c
Honestly, no? Nothing stands out. Your PC should be more than capable. After 1.5 - 2 hours it could even just be a memory leak in the software itself, so it's hard to say. If you run task manager when it is going slow, what components are running at 100%? Has the memory usage of the software increased considerably after 1.5 - 2 hours? Does anyone else who uses the software with the same components report problems? Do you have similar problems with different editing software? Is there an option in the software to switch from GPU to CPU, or from CPU to GPU? Similarly, could the viewport run on the integrated graphics and the editor use your 4070 Ti, or vice versa?
The only part hitting its limits is the Intel UHD Graphics 770, while the 4070 supports Premier. It’s unclear why the built-in CPU graphics are underperforming.
4K refers to resolution only. Which codec is used? The bitrate of the source footage? What tools are involved? Even expert video editing rarely works with fully native high-res files unless you're doing extreme manipulation. Darkness usually means a software problem.
Are you connecting a monitor directly to the motherboard instead of the graphics card? If yes, avoid any actions on that monitor—it will force the HD770 and Premiere to use two GPUs, which can cause stability problems and lead to random black screens. The HD770 is specifically known for triggering this issue with Premiere. It’s recommended to turn off the IGPS in BIOS when using Adobe software with Intel GPUs from the HD700 series.
The video should remain straightforward to manage since I’m working with a Sony ZV-1 and frequently using half-resolution.
Connecting the monitor to the GPU. I'll attempt to turn off igpu. Appreciate it!
