Hi im trying to decide between the 4070 ti vs radeon 7900 xtx for Premieor pro/ after effects.

I use 4k h.265 sony files.

I currently use a 2070s im hoping this will be a big jump in performenace? I know everyone says CPU is matters moslty but im hoping through updates adobe has been taking advtange of the GPU more.

I have noticed that when I "Render in to out" in PP i can somtimes see 100% gpu useage.

One year later and I will still go with nVidia. Adobe Pr and Ae are using CUDA cores and VRAM. They use as much as you give them. AMD is a better option if you only game or do light stuff such as Ps or Illustrator(even here if you are 3D modelling I would still go with nVidia). Only once I bought an AMD card and to be honest I regreted it. I went for it because it was a bit heapper but in the end I sold it put some extra cash and bought a nVidia card(3070).

Between the two, go for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. You see, AMD has depreciated OpenCL (which is now stuck on OpenCL 2.0, which is now 12 years old, for its gaming GPUs) in favor of the new ROCm API. And since there are currently no known plans for Adobe to support ROCm for GPU acceleration, the next major version release of Premiere Pro may require OpenCL 3.0 or higher support, thereby locking the Mercury Playback Engine (MPE) to the software-only rendering mode when an AMD GPU is installed.

The only way you are going to get a reply here is in the (very rare) instance that someone has used both

I would go to Google and enter 'something like'

compare nvidia 4070 ti to radeon 7900 xtx

or

nvidia 4070 ti versus radeon 7900 xtx

to find out if such a comparison exists

In my case, I bought a Radoen 7900 XTX mainly for gaming purposes (it's a waste of money, I know) but I know a friend who bought a 4070-TI Super so he could play games with me, and in my oppinion the Radeon outperforms the NVIDIA. It is up to you which card to get. I wouldn't get the non super model of 4070 TI because the extra Vram (16GB) is worth the extra cost even if you don't do vram intensive stuff, you never know what you will end up doing in the future... I feel like they are both storng options, but if I were you, I would lean to the 7900 XTX (though in my case I use a lot of Vram for what I do so getting less ray traceing is worth the 24GB of Vram). Though if power consumption or heat output is a problem, I might go with the NVIDIA because it produces almost half the heat of the Radeon.

Well, that choce may be fine for gaming. But video editing utilizes the GPU in a completely different way than games do. Hence my response: AMD simply refuses to support any newer version of OpenCL than it already does, and Adobe has no known current plans to support what replaces AMD's implementation of OpenCL while it may soon require a newer version of OpenCL just to even enable its GPU acceleration at all.

More specifically, AMD still supports only OpenCL 2.0 on its gaming GPUs while everybody else (Nvidia and Intel) already supports OpenCL 3.0.
