AMD 7800 Issues

Hello. I upgraded my PC, but unfortunately, I found that Adobe is not supporting my new GPU Card: AMD 7800x. Working on Premiere is super slow compared to what it was just a few days ago when I was working on Nvidia 2060 Super. Is this going to change soon? Or shall I get another GPU?

 

I am working on Premiere 24.6 on Windows 10.

That is actually an OpenCL GPGPU API issue, not just AMD's. Nvidia uses its own proprietary GPGPU API, CUDA, for GPU acceleration in Premiere. And since many of the features in Premiere Pro are CUDA-optimized, CUDA calls must be re-converted to OpenCL whenever a non-Nvidia GPU is used, resulting in latency and lag. And Adobe simply falls back onto OpenCL in the Windows version of Premiere Pro with that AMD GPU since it has no current plans to support whatever GPGPU API that AMD is developing to replace OpenCL.

I've moved this from the Premiere Pro forum to the Video Hardware forum, where you might get a better answer.
