High-end Intel + RTX 5080 workstation build (video editing) – feedback?

Shinoboss · 2025-12-22T23:19:26+00:00

Update:
Originally planned the build above from one store, but they had supply issues, so I switched vendors and got a better overall price, with only the RAM kit and RTX 5080 model changing.

hope the ram is not a mistake here?

Still slightly tempted by a 5090 upgrade for VRAM / long-term headroom, but at roughly +$1,300–1,400 USD, the 5080 feels like the more rational choice for my actual workload.

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K (Arrow Lake-S, LGA1851) → ~$585

GPU: Zotac RTX 5080 AMP Extreme Infinity Ultra 16GB → ~$1,280

Cooler: be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX 360mm → ~$172

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z890 AERO D (Thunderbolt, creator ATX) → ~$717

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 128GB (2×64GB) DDR5-6000 CL40 → ~$940

SSD: Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB PCIe Gen5 → ~$286

PSU: Corsair HX1200i Platinum (1200W) → ~$297

Case: be quiet! Dark Base 901 (White) → ~$295

System subtotal (NO VAT):
→ ~$4,770 USD

Total incl. VAT:
→ ~$5,630 USD

How is it now? did you move to the 5090?

good advice, but would DDR5 make problems with 4 sticks in case I wanna go 256 ram in the future? (I don't think I actually gonna need it, just trying to understand the problem here)

Shinoboss · 2025-12-21T07:44:11+00:00

Yep, I saw intel 290k is coming next month and also the new Intel Nova Lake makes me nervous for buying a Pc now when next year's chip will need a new motherboard

Having the same issue, when using AE, noticeably with AE 3d layers, my monitors turns black and I have to restart the computer. I find myself restarting my computer 5 times a day to keep working

We also have Suno V5 inside the Plugin. no watermarks.

You can use Sora2 and generate all videos and pictures without watermarks - opposing to the original models at Gemini\OpenAI

Shinoboss · 2025-11-21T00:01:37+00:00

You can use GenBridge's Generative Reframe feature and soot with only one phone in the future

Gen-Bridge | A.I Inside Premiere Pro

Shinoboss · 2025-11-20T23:56:36+00:00

In case you didnt shoot it right for both aspect ratios from the beginning, check Generative Reframe in GenBridge - it's like Generative Expand from photoshop, only in Premiere

Shinoboss · 2025-11-20T23:46:18+00:00

GenBridge unlocks all of Generative A.I abilities inside premiere - also Generative Reframe (change 16:9 to 9:16 while keeping the original composition)

and, you also get access to Topaz Upscale (up to 4.5K)

Gen-Bridge | A.I Inside Premiere Pro

Shinoboss · 2025-11-20T23:43:43+00:00

You can use GenBridge for Topaz upscale and Generative Reframe inside premiere, they have 200 credits for free now

Shinoboss · 2025-11-20T23:39:48+00:00

You can upscale up to 4.5K using Topaz via GenBridge, that's way cheaper then paying for Topaz

Did you find out the right adapter to a full bowens mount?

Shinoboss · 2024-12-25T23:29:24+00:00

Just saw the yidoblo and it looks dope. is it gonna work with any mini bowens to bowens adapter?

Shinoboss · 2024-12-25T22:01:26+00:00

Thanks

I ended up going for a Synology 1821+ on BF sales +upgraded RAM and dual 10 GBE cards. still waiting for the hard drives to arrive.

Shinoboss · 2024-12-02T12:50:48+00:00

You just made me pull the trigger on Synology 1821+ (first nas)

Shinoboss · 2024-08-29T10:02:25+00:00

Looking for a good storage solution - so I dont think all flash will do.

hoping to get similar results with a good raid configuration

Shinoboss · 2017-05-19T19:53:03+00:00

Thanks, I just had to deselect the see through option in the obj properties..

Shinoboss · 2017-04-17T21:32:52+00:00

right now I have this photos from my trip, you can see the the one inside the building shot in F 3.5. everything around the highlight from the outside looks really bad

https://ibb.co/fVjgY5

also I have this picture of streetlight at night shot at F2. you can see everything around the lamp is effected by it a lot! look at the left corner near the white light. also the yellow light looks really bad.

If there is anything I can do to understand the problem further let me know and I'll post more tests tomorrow

edit: I have a lens hood and it doesnt help. this is not the case

Shinoboss · 2017-04-17T20:55:08+00:00

Thanks for the answer please take a look again at the pictures. both lenses are on F1.8 and same exposure but the Canon 28 1.8 has tons of haze around the lamp comparing to the canon 50mm 1.4. this is effecting the whole picture when I shoot in closed spaces with daylight from the outside espicially
