I had spent most of my evening trying to smoothly playback a 30fps clip in Davinci Resolve and looked up a bunch of tutorials but none seemed to be working. Until I changed my driver and now it runs great. Thank you for this video, you deserve a new sub!
I'm so glad this helped!
I assume is this the same for desktops as well.
also, davinci resolve works alot better with optomized media. I also love that you can switch your timeline resolution on the fly and edit super fast in like 720 or something then switch back to 4k at the end to color grade. super cool
@@joshcoxmusic woah I had no idea it could do that, thanks man!
Bruh.. how people are not aware of this simple stuff to do while you buy a hardware is crazy to me.. lol
For AMD, there is a setting you can change within the latest drivers: Settings -> Graphics -> Advanced -> GPU Workload. Here, you can switch between "Graphics" and "Compute", though I don't know (yet) how much it *really* affects rendering time. Initially, it was introduced during the crypto mining craze a few years ago (remember that time? Getting a new graphics card back then was quite a pain 😅) to utilize the graphics cards better when mining, so... It might benefit video editing, it might not.
Oh awesome! Thanks for the info!
Greetings from Finland and thank you sooo much! 💋 A long-time frustration and anxiety finally ends 🙌 you got a new sub!
Just got my x17 and been making youtube videos again....had no idea about this second option driver.......exited to try it..thanks bro.
WOW!! This is going to take my editing up a notch! I'm subscribing!
Thank you for covering this!
i spent 6 months looking for a video like this. Thanks very much bro. You got me subscribed
Finnaly, the right video i was looking 4, thanx man, it helped me so much!
Glad I could help!
That was really helpful. Thank you for making this video.
I have watched more than 100 videos on youtube related to gaming benchmark's & editing benchmark's of different specifications, but none of the video they mentioned about this settings thanks for this awesome information.
I’m on a Mac but this is still interesting. I’d often wondered why good media production GPUs often aren’t good at gaming. Love the Resolve content, keep it coming!
Thank you!!
Maaaan...where has this video been all my life! Thank you Jay for the tips and tricks on a smoother running PC experience when selecting Studio Drivers. I shoot and edit a lot of videos on my Alienware laptop and use to get a ton of glitches and HEAVY lagging where audio would play in my timeline ..but the video couldn't seem to keep up...such a nightmare and so much wasted hours at the desk. This adjustment has provided a much smoother experience when scrubbing through footage and rendering. Cheers
I will be giving this a try. Also comparing my fps when gaming to see if if reduces gaming at all. Thanks for this info.
VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION! than you very much
Thanks for this tip, recently got an msi gaming laptop for editing music/video/photos and had no idea this option was there. The performance was good out of the box but I swapped the driver anyway just because it seems more appropriate for my uses
Awesome Mike! Glad I could help!
Super eye opening, thanks man
Thank you for answering a question I've searched almost a year for🙏!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

Great Video! It's short and Concise, exactly what I was looking for.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Great, thanks very much. I have an Acer + Nvidia and just changed my driver. Having changed from slower editing software to DVR I didn't think rendering was that slow, but happy if it's even quicker.
Nice! I hope it helps!
Thank you for new information
Thankyou so much brother helped me a lot
Excellent video. Just what I was looking for.

You're welcome 😊
Thank u for info.. very helpful, currently i m looking for gaming laptop for editing video..
Nice!
You are a God. Thank you for this video
Wow! IS THATS IT???? I have been looking to solve this problems for month and even IT didn't mentioned this to me. I paid IT guy to have a look my pc and he sort of done some work but it didn't changed the rendering speed and other tasks. I have powerful PC and couldn't understand why when it comes to video editing, photo shop and other video editing program all at the same time slowed my PC. I have good ram and all other bits. I have now changed the drivers to studio and all the problems I had GONE ❤ I am so glad I found your video. It randomly popped up on the feeds, I lost hope I can do anything with PC as it is powerful PC. So, changed to studio drivers and amazing how everything go smooth. I don't play games I do video editing, photo editing. Thank you, great video, very helpful
I’ll be buying an XMG Apex 15 in the near future hopefully and was pretty much getting acquainted with what I need to do to make sure my hardware is on the same page as my goals for it. Thanks to you I know how the GPU can know.
Awesome! Glad I could help!
Thanks a lot, Man!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
This is also true of 3D animation software, like iClone. iClone 7 actually stopped working almost at all with one version of the nvidia game driver. Definitely want the studio driver. Thanks for another great tut, Jay! Love your channel. :-)
That actually makes perfect sense! Thanks for watching!
What is driver?
Nice information brother
Thanks!!
Thanks for the Good info!
Glad it was helpful!
I just got a new (gaming) laptop and will do more video/photo editing than gaming on it. This tip should go a LONG way towards making my experience with this laptop better.
Glad I could help!
Im getting that scar18 thanks to this video. ❤
Hi Jay... thanks for this video. Great advice. I'm in the market for a new laptop for photo and video editing. Which laptop would you recommend? What laptop do you use for editing?
Wow thanks man!
No problem!
bro i've had this laptop for a few months now to edit video and i had no idea thank you sm
Glad I could help!
Awesome bit of info!! Hope it helps someone
Me too! It helped me at least. That's something, right?
Bruh you are the Goat for this one
Thanks dude! Appreciate it!
Thnx, it was helpful !
Glad to hear that!
will give it a try tonight. thx
No problem! Hope it helps!!
thanks! good heads up!
Glad to help!
I had seen this driver option while downloading driver, but never thought about its use Thanks will try it out.... As i use nvidia card and davinci
Thanks for this. I sooooo subbed!
Awesome, thank you!
Researching a new laptop and came across your info. Like a couple of other's here, I didn't know about the "Studio" drivers....thanks heaps for that snippet champ :) Now for some critique....please sit on your hands for future vids ;) lol
Lol I don't think I'll ever get rid of all movement, but I'm working on it! Thanks for watching!
Great tip
Thanks man!
Man,you have done it again. I was wondering why Davinci was stuttering when I can play games at 60fps no problem. Jay, you are a wee cheeky godsend to us all. Thank you so much.
Hahahaha thanks dude! I appreciate it!
Since you play games and edit videos are you switching back and forth on the driver?
Dude, you're really awesome! New subscriber here! :D Thank you!
Thank you!!
MY MAN! I'm about tu purchase a Gaming laptop for video editing and one major problem i see with many good laptops are reviewers saying that "this doesn't work for Video editing". Now i know that they are reviewing it in Gaming Mode. Many thanks! now i can purchase with confidence!
Which one did you get?
I got a Dell XPS 17 on a great deal. 2Tb, 32Gb and is a beast editing 6K video with no problems.@@StingerFromAbove
This is good to know that there are Studio drivers. although for gtx860m there isn't a studio driver. I will update the gaming drivers as davinci crashes every now and then
Oh yeah keeping your drivers up to date is super important!
What a god , subbed and liked !!!
Thank you!!
Thanks a lot !
No problem! Thanks for watching!
thank a lot for your information I m a college student and had a miss understanding of gaming laptop is best for video editing.
Glad I could help!
@@JayLippman 😊 I get the nvidia experience immediately hhh easy to find and now is clearer to see the laptop specs
Huh... I did that with the drivers. It was the same, but maybe... I switched without knowing it. I will try again. Thanks!
Benchmarks of render times between studio and game drivers would have been nice. But thanks!
And for that advice, I subscribed ! 😉
Awesome! Thanks so much!
@@JayLippman you're welcomed !
Really good tip Jay. Also worth noting that not all nvidia cards have Studio drivers, my old 660ti only had gaming drivers my new rtx2060 super has choice of both.
Yeah I cant remember when the studio driver first came out, but I know that my old computer didnt have it either. Thanks man!
Thx! for reminding me, just a'boot to change machines again..
Thanks Man! It was really informative.. You got a new sub>.
Awesome, thank you!
Great for logical purpose
Thanks! I’m really hoping to find a laptop to game well and do vr well but I also need it to do animation and video editing. I’m in search of a laptop and it’s difficult. So I hope this will work. Thanks!
Good luck on your search!
Hi, good video. Could you tell me your opinion about the better laptop por video editing in premiere and davinci, between ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507RR (Rysen 7, 16 ram, 3070 de 8gb, 1 tb) and MSI Katana GF66 11UE-853XES (intel i7, 1y ram, 3060 de 6gb, 1tb). Thanks
Thanks!!!
No problem!
..........and that is why when I go to task manager and look up the GPU graph it's hitting 100% in the 3D dept. Gonna look up those drivers you recommend thanks!
Hoping this works my guy, really a weird question but you got the answer.
Thanks for watching!
at 3.14 you say... after installing the nvidia "studio" drivers your render times have INCREASED!!!! a slip of the tongue I hope ;-) informative video thanks for sharing the knowledge.
epic. top man
Bruh!!!! why didnt i notice this! you just got a sub! i love you now! also what laptop do you suggest in the $2000 or less range for smooth 4k editing in DaVinci or premier? i wont be buying until next april so my hope is that there are some AMD CPU and gpu combo's better than the 2060's and 1660 ti combo's i keep finding by then...
I'm not sure! I haven't really looked at laptops in a while. I would honestly just look at the system requirements for whatever program you're using and try and find something in your budget that exceeds those specs.
THANK YOU
No problem!
How do you change the driver though ? Like are their different drivers in the computer that u just have to manually change to ?
Thanks for the info on the studio driver! I’ve had a gaming PC for a bit and creative apps always seemed ok but never that great.
Glad it helped!
Can you go back and forth from one driver to the other multipule times depending on what activity your doing?
Great vid👍 What are you doing @3:18 when your coloring with the oval mask?
From the looks of it, I'm either creating a vignette or brightening the subject. I have a whole video on that on my channel actually.
phew so that's why my my rendering got sluggish because I use the acer nitro 5 for editing videos I've been using it for a few months so of course like you said it is rather a bit sluggish in rendering I thought I did something wrong but well it's for gaming so editing here will be annoying a bit so thank you, you fixed my problem
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Hi Jay, Your GeForce Experience says: 'You have the latest studio driver' but mine is different: GeForce Game Ready Driver and at those three dots I have only one option: 'Reinstall driver'. Any thoughts on that? Thanks, A
Can you switch between drivers and have both drivers to work with. 1 for gaming and 1 for davinci resolve ?
Ok so I installed vegas on my gaming laptop but while it was installing it replaced a couple things on laptop and my fps dropped tremendously low. I have an rtx 3060 wtih nvdia graphics card btw. So i deleted vegas and used system restore to fix the problem and it worked. But I'm afraid of using vegas should the problem happened again. Could this have happed because I didn't switch to the nvidia studio driver like you mention before i installed vegas? And if that's the case and I install vegas again will it effect my fps in games? Please help because I don't have enough knowledge on this, and I would appreciate the help or advice.
great video man, thanks. didn't know this even existed either like many others. i'm thinking of updating my older desktop actually which i use for editing, but i thought maybe i can get a gaming laptop instead and use it with my 2 existing monitors as dual screens. that way i can also take the laptop with me if i need to be mobile. however, i have 2 4TB hdd's in my tower right now that i use for storage and i don't know what to do about those (can't really put those in the laptop lol). i don't know if i can build some kind of external hdd tower i can plug into my laptop when needed or something. have any recommendations? appreciate it!
If they are SATA drives, then you can actually put them in an external drive bay and use them as an external drive. There are a few of them on Amazon you can check out.
@@JayLippman oh sweet. i didn't know they sold separate external drive enclosures like that. yes, they are sata drives. will those drives, when connected to laptop, be able to be encrypted? i have one of the drives encrypted with Vera Crypt, not sure how that will work with the drive being externally connected. I'm sure it will work just fine but just curious your thoughts. thank you!
a NAS enclosure will do what you want, and is designed for that purpose. Also you buy them as many slots as you think you will need for expansion later
Hi, I'm using ROG 15 Strix - Ryzen9 & GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. My premiere pro runs well if there is no after effect compostion added. Once I import after effect composition it works very slow to preview it's content and the render part is too ****. frusted with this issue. I have preper drivers and using studio drivers only still facing this issue. Can you help me in this.
Yep.... That's exactly what I thought:( but I'm listening to you sir! Help me :)
