Depending on the video editing program you might not benefit from a graphics card at all.

Posted May 6, 2019 Depends a bit on the video editing, sony vegas renders a lot faster using NVENC Encoder, i use a 2060 and it works fine for vegas 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMD can be iffy, and you need something with CUDA, then amd's out of the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 6, 2019 We would need a budget. But to accelerate any editing workload, an 8GB RX 570 would be great. For a bigger budget look at maybe Vega or an RTX Card.

Posted May 8, 2019 Author Budget is $200-$250. I want a decent card so that I do not regret a cheaper buy and regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how heavy your video editing is, but usually the more vram the better so...if you're doing heavier video editing, then the rx 590 8gb is for you: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KFzkcf/powercolor-radeon-rx-590-8-gb-red-dragon-video-card-axrx-590-8gbd5-dhd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 8, 2019 Well I think this will be my first time ever recommending an rx 590 to anybody but for gaming which I know this isn't about the gtx 1660 and rx 590 are pretty close with the 1660 usually winning by marginal fps. In programs in which cuda acceleration is a thing then the gtx 1660 is probably the clear winner but the rx 590 and rx 580 absolutely destroy the 1660 in compute loads. Depends on what video editing software you use and exactly what you actually see yourself doing with your computer besides mundane tasks that the gt 210 could sometimes get done.
