    Blu-ray Ripping

    I am building a new PC to be used to rip a large collection of DVDs and Blu-ray discs, and I would like your thoughts as to which hardware would make the task faster.

    I use a software package called Pavtube to do the conversion. The software has an option to speed up the process by enabling Nvidia's CUDA cores on the graphics card. I see when I look at the specs of various Nvidia graphics cards listed on Pavtube’s website that there are different numbers of CUDA cores depending on the card—from 1,536 cores (GeForce GTX 1660 TI) all the way up to 4,992 (Tesla K80). Is this important? Would an even newer card—the RTX 2070 Super or RTX 2080 Super—be a better choice?

    Finally, would you recommend pairing this with an AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 with 32MB of 3200MHz memory and a B450 chipset?
