Yes. BRAW footage from Blackmagic cameras edits in full quality without a proxy workflow on the G6 Tungsten. The RTX 5070 Ti 16GB handles BRAW GPU decode and colour science processing in real time during playback in DaVinci Resolve. With a standard colour grade applied to a BRAW timeline, playback stays smooth without frame dropping or buffering. The 16GB VRAM figure matters here: BRAW GPU processing is VRAM-intensive in a way that H.264 is not, and on a 12GB card BRAW timelines with a grade applied will begin to stall. If your camera shoots in BRAW — URSA, Pocket Cinema Camera, or any Blackmagic body with BRAW output — the RTX 5070 Ti 16GB is the correct GPU tier for proxy-free editing in Resolve.

Yes, for most 6K editing workflows in DaVinci Resolve. At 6K BRAW, the GPU carries the primary decode load rather than RAM — Resolve passes the decode to the RTX 5070 Ti, which handles it in VRAM. 64GB system RAM covers the Resolve application, the media bin, the active timeline, and After Effects or other applications running in the background simultaneously. Where 64GB would become a consideration is in multi-stream 6K compositing with very large node trees, or running DaVinci Resolve Fusion on complex 6K composites alongside the main edit. For most 6K editorial and colour workflows, 64GB is well-matched to the RTX 5070 Ti decode capability.

The Tungsten uses a Core Ultra 9 285K with an RTX 5070 Ti 16GB and a total of 6TB NVMe storage. The G6 Cobalt uses a Ryzen 9 9950X with an RTX 5090 32GB and a total of 6TB NVMe storage. For video editing specifically, the primary difference is VRAM: the Cobalt's RTX 5090 with 32GB VRAM is relevant for editors working with very large multi-stream compositing environments in Resolve Fusion or Nuke, or for those using GPU-accelerated machine learning tools in the post-production pipeline. For RAW editorial, colour grading, and export — which is the Tungsten's primary workload — 16GB VRAM handles BRAW and most cinema camera RAW formats without constraint. The Cobalt is a more significant investment and is primarily driven by its AI/ML and 32GB VRAM use cases rather than video editing alone.

The Tungsten handles BRAW up to 12K (subject to DaVinci Resolve current codec support and Blackmagic camera output), 4K RAW from cinema cameras including ARRIRAW where supported in the current Resolve release, 4K and 6K H.265, and standard compressed codecs. The RTX 5070 Ti 16GB determines the GPU decode ceiling — 16GB covers most professional cinema camera formats at 4K to 6K without requiring optimised media or proxies in DaVinci Resolve. For high-resolution RAW formats, call Kevin and confirm your specific camera model and codec before ordering, as VRAM requirements vary between codec implementations and Resolve versions.

Build time is 3 to 5 working days from order confirmation, including the 24-hour stress test at sustained GPU and CPU load. Delivery to UK mainland addresses is free and fully tracked. If you have a production deadline or a specific delivery date, call Kevin on 01902 714533 before ordering and he will confirm the timeline.
