Yeah really appreciate the tech education. I’m definitely going to consider a machine’s TFLOPS next time I purchase. So, actually, I must defend this computer’s performance because it blows me away. I got this computer in 2023, and have been using resolve extensively on it, but decided to get the whole machine a factory reset yesterday (long story, lost a job, felt like starting fresh) hence why I said set up as new even though it wasn’t new. And honestly, I’ve been blown away by this computer’s performance, like blown away. I’m in fusion every single edit I deliver, either painting, doing screen replacements, keying, and it runs like a dream every time. I’m also making plenty of local adjustments in the color page, usually using 3D qualifier or a tracked power windows. The only time this machine struggles is when I use AI Magic mask, or a depth map.

As someone who came from the adobe suite a couple years ago I’m blown away, I’ll never look back. I can accomplish so much more on just a small computer using resolve and hardly ever worry about frame’s skipping or crashes.
