Strange card from Gigabyte

[Delta Bravo]

Hello, I'm a little confused about this...

I need a graphics card that is going to improve my work in Premiere Pro and also my occasional gaming sessions   (At the moment I don't need quadros etc)

I'm on a budget ,so from what I found in my local store, I came to chose between these two -

 

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-RX570GAMING-8GD-MI-rev-10-11#kf   Gigabyte RX 570 8GB that looks VERY VERY low quality imo.

 

And for the same price, from a good manufacturer , but with only 4gb,  I have this option - https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/pulse-rx-580-4g-g5 - Sapphire RX580 4GB

 

I don't know why Gigabyte offer twice as much Vram for the same price here . Is it a deal or it's made of extremely bad components and it's going to fail in a few months ? 

 

What do you guys think ? Do I need the 8gb If my monitor is 1080p ? Can I go with the 4gb and still render 4k video in Premiere Pro ?

about prices, i won't comment, what i can say is what bran i would buy and which one i wouldn't, i would buy sapphire

 

about the workload, adobe usually prefers nvidia cuda, so consider a gtx1660 instead of amd, amd is great but adobe does like more nvidia for lots of effects, for encoding, lots of things

If your main purpose for this GPU is to use it for hardware acceleration on Premiere Pro, specially targeting 4k video editing, then you're shopping the wrong GPU altogether.

 

Premiere Pro and AMD Radeon GPU simply don't go well along each other, Premiere Pro is entirely CUDA, NVENC and QuickSync based so you need nVidia/Intel, it has a "fake" support for OpenCL but it's just atrocious and performance is garbage.

 

If you want to use a Radeon GPU like the RX 570 you need an application that can actually use OpenCL like Vegas Pro or DaVince Resolve, if you're 100% set on using Premiere Pro then you should be looking for a second hand GTX 1060.

Came to say exactly what Luna said, Premiere pro loves nvidia cards way more than radeon cards, find a 1060 or similar to use instead.

I don't like Nvidia and I really want to chose between these two. 

Does anyone know why does the Gigabyte website say GAMING MI on this model ? - doest MI stand for mining ? are mining cards lower quality usually ?

It isn't though. This is normal quality components, and a decent cooler.

They price it that low because they can. They take a slightly lower profit margin, and have a slightly lower cost of production than other manufacturers.

Premiere Pro

As Luna said, Premier is EXCLUSIVELY Nvidia. Do not even consider AMD for Premier, no matter what. I have a 5700 XT, and my attempts to run Premier result in worse performance than a GT 1030.

Thanks for the answers , I'm curious about one more thing - why does the Gigabyte card have 3 month warranty from Gigabyte ? I've never seen such thing in my entire life. What's wrong ?

The MI card is a variation of a standard RX 580 Gaming card. 

Differences is it lacks RGB and the aluminum/steel/whatever backplate. Also, it comes in plain cardboard box and indeed, it seems it has only 3 months warranty.

 

It's not a mining card, but mining cards usually have only one video output so I don't know what to tell you. It does have memory running at 2000 Mhz while normally 1750 Mhz was more common.

 

Strictly between those two, go with the Sapphire model, you won't feel the difference between 4GB and 8 GB.

 

However, as everyone in the thread here told you, if you're working with Adobe products you need nVidia cards as Adobe products deal better with Cuda and nvEnc

Get one of the latest video cards (Turing ideally, or Pascal) ... except 1650 which has older video engine... 1660 would probably be the cheapest.
