AMD or Nvidia for Premiere Pro

[Priam017]

It seems that the 1050 Ti and 1060 beat RX470 and RX480 when it comes to editing in Premiere Pro. Is it true and why is it so? 

[Hossein_AAA]

Render times mostly depends on your CPU. And each edit and render is different, some only use CPU the most and some GPU. There's no Straight forward answer to this.

Premiere iirc loves Nvidia cards due to the program having a lot of CUDA-accelerated features.

I imagine it's something to do with CUDA acceleration. Premiere Pro is really well-optimised for CUDA

CUDA which Premiere uses a lot; is an NVIDIA technology. Premiere's underlying video rendering and payback engine, Mercury, comes in two flavours, CUDA or CPU. 

This is why Nvidia Cards perform better.

Strangely enough, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, support OpenCL and OpenGL

Doesn't it support OpenCL too, which "boosts" GCN cards?

CS6 doesn't, at least on Windows

 

Since CC 2014 and newer I'm sure OpenCL is supported as well.
