<p>I'm on the latest Adobe Premiere CC and I have a pretty solid system I think but I'm still having freezing issues when I'm editing.</p>

<pre><code>Editing System
Windows 10 64bit
i7-5820K 6Core 3.3GHz
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC Gaming ACX 2.0+
16GB DDR4 Ram
512GB Samsung 950 NvME System Drive
Assets are on a Raid 0 Array of 2 5TB Drives
I have a cache drive setup on a Samsung 850 SSD
</code></pre>

<p>Everything is fine when I start but as I add effects and video to the sequence it starts to slow down to the point where I have to purge video memory occasionally or it just outright crashes. Nothing major as far as effects. I use the Lumetri color effects a lot and I use Red Giant plugins like the DeNoiser II plugin.</p>

<p>In fact the Denoiser plugin is pretty much useless during editing. I usually add it before rendering. It drives the render time up big time as well.</p>

<p>I'm open to any suggestions for upgrading this machine to make my editing smoother. I thought about adding a NAS to my network and offloading the 5tb drives to that, to archive footage not actively editing. I would then replace that raid0 with a new raid 0 with 4 ssds. Probably only 2tb for actively editing footage but it would speed the read and write speeds up dramatically. </p>

<p>I back everything up to cold storage drives now too.</p>

<p>I will say my CPU does get up to 100% when I'm watching this. I just don't see it getting maxed out on this little stuff but maybe that's the problem. I only work in 1080i5994 currently.</p>

<p>Hopefully I dont have to replace the system as I just bought it last year but it's really annoying trying to edit like this.</p>

Your system should have no trouble working. I'm sure you've set up your "Project Settings" in such a way as to render and playback through your GPU.

So I will try to change that and see if it fixes it. Is the video card too weak?

No. Your system is top notch. You should be able to edit on it, no problems.
