OpenCL is better than CUDA in some tasks. Adobe has only recently added support for OpenCL (Adobe's website states that it is compatible with the HD 7970, which is basically a 280X that has been rebranded).

 

If on a budget, go for AMD definitely.

Hi,

 

I'm looking at a new graphics card for my PC. I was wondering what would be better for rendering in Premiere Pro, NVIDIA or AMD. I have been looking at the R9 280X but I want to see if there would be better performance on NVIDIA. What do you think?

 

Thanks

the 280x is a rebranded 7970* not the other way around

Oops I made a typo. The 7970 was before the 280X.

not so fast, atm cuda is a bit better for adobe products than opencl, but over time with better supports we will see some better performance out of opencl.

As far as I recall, there are more CUDA optimizations as OpenCL is just being implemented. That said, I haven't noticed any slowdowns moving from a 780 Ti to a 295X2.

The 295x2 has a ton more power than a single 780 Ti shouldn't you see a performance increase?

Never bothered to benchmark the difference in render times.
