Designed for applications that include Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, FXhome HitFilm, MAGIX Vegas Pro, Grass Valley EDIUS, Assimilate SCRATCH, and The Foundry NUKE, the EDGE XT2i Creative Pro Workstation from NextComputing provides a balance of hardware to let users get the most out of their video editing software and focus on creating advanced content. The system is powered by a 3.0 GHz Intel Core i9-10980XE 18-Core processor and 24.75MB of cache memory, all of which will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously and provide significant performance gains when running multi-threaded tasks. If more power is needed, the CPU can deliver extra performance by increasing its clock speed up to 4.8 GHz utilizing Intel's Turbo Boost technology. System performance is further enhanced by 128GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM, which allows you to quickly access frequently used files and programs. It comes in an 8 x 16GB configuration and be upgraded to 256GB by using a 32GB module in each of the eight 288-pin DIMM slots.
For storage of your files, this system is equipped with both a 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD and 512GB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD. If you want to add external storage drives, optical drives, printers, memory card readers, or other peripherals, the EDGE XT2i features two 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 ports, both of which support DisplayPort video output, one 10 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, and six 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports. For users who wish to add additional components to the drive bays, there are four 3.5" bays and three 2.5" drive bays, plus one empty M.2 slot that supports SATA III and PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs.
The dual dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards each have 16GB of GDDR6X RAM and deliver a sharp, clear picture, while allowing for multiple simultaneous displays to be used via its HDMI 2.1a and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs at resolutions up to 4K at 240 Hz or 8K at 60 Hz. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek HD AC1220A audio controller outputs high-definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers. Wired network connectivity is achieved using dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, or take advantage of Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) for wireless network connectivity.
