Premier Elements and GPUs

[trentklein]

Hey all, 

 

I am building a pc for someone that will be using it for video editing and we are leaning towards getting Adobe Premier Elements for it. I am very new to video editing software so I do not know anything about which GPUs are good for which, but, I was thinking a 570? Looking into it, I did find that, that specific software doesn't use GPU acceleration? Thanks for your help in advance!!!!

Highly recommending you to look at 1060/2060s. AFAIK Nvidia GPU's consistently perform better than AMD ones in premier

By a significant amount? I am also basing the build around the R7 1700. I know it could be WAY better, but this person will not be doing hardcore video editing.

I'm pretty sure that it will make a difference in premier for sure and in gaming there pretty much the same

Premiere (and any other Adobe) prefers CUDA (Nvidia) than OpenCL (AMD), but not by a large margin.

But for gaming i suggest 580 than 1060, the price difference from 570 is not that much.

For the CPU more core count the better, intel or amd.

This won't be for gaming at all, just everyday tasks and video moderate video editing.

Adobe Premiere Elements does NOT use the GPU so any video card will do.  Now, if you upgrade to Adobe Premiere Pro, then it will use the GPU and you will want to look at an NVidia card for CUDA acceleration.
