DaVinci Resolve Studio

Resolve is GPU-bound. We build accordingly.

Unlike Premiere, Resolve scales aggressively with GPU horsepower and VRAM. Our Resolve builds are GPU-first — with single and dual GPU options across the range.

Single + dual-GPU options
Up to dual RTX 6000 Pro
BMD DeckLink supported
5-year warranty

Recommended DaVinci Resolve specs by workload

Resolve is heavily GPU-accelerated, so GPU power and VRAM drive playback, effects and renders more than raw CPU.

Recommended DaVinci Resolve specs by workload
	Workflow	Recommended CPU	GPU / VRAM
1080p / 4K editing & grading	Ryzen 7 9800X3D / Core Ultra 7	RTX 5070 Ti / 16GB	32GB
4K multicam, Fusion & noise reduction	Ryzen 9 9950X	RTX 5080 / 16GB	64GB
8K & heavy RAW (BRAW / RED)	Ryzen 9 9950X / Threadripper	RTX 5090 / 32GB	128GB

Resolve uses the GPU for playback, Fusion, noise reduction and the Neural Engine, and VRAM matters at 4K+ — 16GB minimum, 32GB (RTX 5090) for 8K and heavy RAW. Studio can use multiple GPUs.

Why CREATE PCs

GPU-first specifications

Resolve scales with both raw GPU power and VRAM — we lead with the right balance for the workload.

Dual-GPU builds done properly

When you need two cards, we use a board with proper x8/x8 lane splitting and a chassis that fits dual triple-slot GPUs with clean airflow.

BMD DeckLink and HDR ready

Spare PCIe slots for DeckLink and 12G-SDI cards, plus HDR display configuration before dispatch.

DaVinci Resolve PCs FAQs

How much VRAM does DaVinci Resolve really need?

16GB is fine for 4K colour with a few nodes. 24GB+ is recommended for noise reduction nodes, Fusion comps and 6K/8K timelines. 32GB on the RTX 5090 is the sweet spot for serious colourists.

Does Resolve use a second GPU?

Yes — Resolve Studio can use multiple GPUs for processing, particularly for noise reduction, decoded RAW, and Fusion. Two RTX 5090s effectively double processing power on heavy timelines.

AMD or NVIDIA for Resolve?

NVIDIA is strongly preferred — CUDA acceleration is more mature than OpenCL, and many third-party plugins (Neat Video, BoraVFX) target NVIDIA first.
