GPU question about transferring 480p vids from the early 2000's
RyanJ:
As video transfers are daunting and there is so much information out there (with little help from other forums) let me know what I may be able to help you with. I am a bit confused by the last post by Chanher if you have already transferred the footage? What media are you working with?
To my knowledge, the GPU isn't necessarily needed for transfer. Maybe for processing later. But it's mostly done by your hardware (CPU/RAM)

apologies, I hope I wasn't too confusing to the OP. I saw he mentioned transferring and then "mixing down two sources" which I assumed meant editing 2 different vids to one vid using video editing software. Perhaps the OP could clarify the questions Ryan asked (have you transferred the footage yet? what media are you using?) and do you plan on editing said footage, including multiple sources > 1 vid? What is your intended use (youtube etc)?
Would be happy to help, although others here probably know more. My friends and I recently all got new Iphones (with their excellent cameras) and I've already tried mixing 2-3 different vids, with my audience recording synced up, and it was quite taxing on my older i7 windows laptop. I have a more powerful desktop but naturally the video editing software I paid for on my laptop can't be used on my desktop (bastards) so I'm currently in the process of finding (and learning) all new software (sigh).

thanks for the feedback.
im going to stick with my 4g GPU.
i still have to transfer all the tapes.
which is the main priority.
once that task has been accomplished, i will have a good number of 2 sources shows to mix down.
i did this a number of times, 20 years ago, and remembered the super long render times.

Again, what media are you transferring. A lot has changed in 20 years with how you can transfer. There may be better options out there for what you want to accomplish.
