I downloaded some 8K R5 RAW footage to see how well it would work in Davinci Resolve (16.2.4 on Windows 10).
Editing isn't too bad, even with a GTX 1060 6GB and a Ryzen R7 2700X CPU and 16GB RAM. You can get by with just over 4GB VRAM (3GB VRAM doesn't seem to cut it). The problems start once you start to work with the color panel. Resolve only has support right now for full res rendering if you want to have access to the C-log settings (e.g. ISO).
With a GTX 1060, playback is about 7-8 fps and GPU bound, with only 33% of CPU being used
With an RTX 2070 or higher, it becomes CPU bound with 100% of CPU being used. A 2070 and 2070 Super both seemed to be around 90-100% of GPU also. With a 2080 Ti, the GPU load was about 70% or less. With the CPU being the limiting factor with these faster cards, it can only do 19-21 fps.
Of course, you really need NVMe storage, as the data rate is about 320MB/s. A SATA SSD would sort of work with a single stream, but no point in hamstringing your system that way.
