Vega 56 Stock for Premiere?

[mrmachew]

Planning a new Adobe Premiere, Lightroom, Photoshop and Avid Media Composer build, i7 9900 with 32gb RAM. Just found a killer deal on a new Vega 56 with the reference air blower cooler for £197, just trying to find out if this will be any use for the listed programs above? I know that Nvidia is usually better for Adobe but is this a better all round option to the GTX 1660? Thanks for the help!

I'm not familiar with anything Adobe, but the Vega 56 is a much better all-round card over the 1660. It's a solid chunk better than a 1660ti as well.

Yeah think I might have to consider it as even though the amd cards aren’t meant to be as good in Adobe programs due to the Nvidias having CUDA, due to this being a better overall GPU this may not matter.
