Optimal Graphics Cards in Mac and Windows for 4k

Hello ! I have been having low fps opening up one instance of video simpler and importing a 4k video.
Both on windows 11 2070rtx super
And Mac Latest OS M1 Pro

I was wondering what graphics cards would create a smooth 4k 60 fps video output ? if people tested this with their hardware let me know I would be very grateful.

Hi there and welcome to the forum!

Great question. The bottleneck likely isn’t the graphics cards you’re using, but rather the amount of available (V)RAM memory. As opposed to playing clips on Audio Tracks, most videos in Video Simpler are loaded into RAM memory after being decompressed, which dramatically increases their file size, especially at 4k 60fps.

I highly recommend reading this Troubleshooting article that covers this subject in detail.

Let me know if you have any additional questions after that!
