This workstation has a 4GB NVIDIA graphics card and 64GB RAM. The second workstation was a portable HP ZBook 15. Naturally, a computer with such specifications will run any software efficiently. The program ran smoothly without any interruptions in playback and scrubbing speed. The system has a 12GB NVIDIA graphics card and 512GB RAM. The first workstation was a HP Z640 desktop running Windows.
