1660 ti vs 1070 ti, which is better for video editing?

[Puffing]

I was looking at the 1070ti as a card for an upgrade to my 1060 3gig but it seems that they are mostly at the 400 dollar mark whereas the 1660 ti is roughly 300 and I could get it new, is there a reason the 1660 ti would not be better for video editing? 

(I am talking about the 6 gb version)

Video editing with what?

 

All in all a GTX 1660 for instance should already suffice for all the CUDA Acceleration you could want in Adobe programs.

I am planing on adobe premiere pro. I have been told the 6gb if vram is not enough

more VRAM why not? maybe you have a APPS or spesific editing that requires more VRAM

6GB is enough VRAM by all means, unless you'll do some serious professional editing only with 4k60fps content.

 

For your workload you should still be more worried about your CPU, are you getting an i7 or i9 already?

CPU shouldn’t be an issue I have an i7 7700k that will be overclocked

Don’t want to spend 100 dollars more on a used item if I don’t need to

Remember to enable iGPU hardware acceleration too, QuickSync is an important part to consider and get performance from with an Intel processor.

how about 1070 or vega 56 if its cheaper. (at my place Vega 56 pretty cheap about 200ish usd)

That highly depends on what encoding settings you want to use.

Generaly the 8GB on 1070ti would be more beneficial but if you want to do anything with NVENC then the 1660ti is quite a lot better.

if anything this will be your bottleneck, not 6gb video memory

6GB is already fine for most 4K footage and simple projects. muscle-wise I don't think there'd be much appreciable difference between a 1070ti and a 1660ti

 

 

 

if you really REALLY need 8GB then you might need to find a camera that does 6K ._.

 

you should do fine

I’m not doing anything insane, i am mostly concerned about my timeline performance...

I don’t know too much about the settings in premiere yet but I know 3gb isn’t enough.
