Does rtx help with art programs?

[wafflewafflewaffle]

Hey, i havent found any info about this, but does rtx have any benefits for using art programs like corel painter or photoshop? If no, then should i even look at an rtx if im mainly going to use art programs?

Sadly Gamer Nexus hasn't made a 2020 video on the subject so we'll have to use the 2019's one:

This should give you an idea how certain programs scales in performance when using hardware acceleration from a video card, but as rule of thumb you should first make sure you got the best CPU you can afford.

RTX certainly not because it is a game gimmick/feature.

 

What you would like to ask (I assume) is if the rt/tensor cores on a RTX card are utilized in such programs 

 

The answer is no.

 

Well maybe in certain specific applications if you are doing pathtracing/raytracing/deeplearning stuff with particular code but I doubt this is the case because if you were doing such specialized stuff you already would know the answer to your question. Coredraw  do not use RT/tensor cores 

 

Blender does on specific workflows (Optix) but its either tensor/rt cores or GPU cores (you can not use both simultaneously) and in such workflows it will be slightly faster than using the GPU cores. 

 

Photoshop again does make use of the rt/tensor cores but only in specific features such as AI skin cleaning (or something like that) 

 

Premiere again only in AI related features. 

 

And they are just a few of them it is not something you are going to use every time if ever.
