What are the file types? Red, XAVC, XAVCS, RED? If the project is 2160 60p good luck.
The 980ti won't help until you add a GPU effect. There isn't a chip on the market that can edit 4K as if you were editing HD.
You can convert to HQX and see how that works out for you.
You could overclock the chip to around 4.4GHz and see if that helps. Make sure you have good cooling.

Sorry for butting in, 4k from a GH4, what's it best converted to Jerry to drop into a HD timeline
Thanks.

Yes it does. I can do 3 layers in full res. But, adding filters will reduce the number of layers.
I still stand by my original statement that there isn't a chip that can do 4k as we do HD at this time. Possibly the Skylake E in 2017 will be able to do that.
