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 — from RTX 5080 for editing through to RTX 6000 Pro 96GB workstation graphics for 8K finishing.
- GPU-first specification
- Up to RTX 6000 Pro 96GB
- 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.
| Workflow | Recommended CPU | GPU / VRAM | RAM | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
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.
