Hi there,
I'm planning on getting a new computer and I'm thinking of buying a 'Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Eagle OC 12GB GDDR6' as a graphics card. I will mainly work with Premiere Pro, After Effects and Cinema4D. I would like to know if this graphics card is good for running these programs.

Thank you in advance for the answers.

When it comes to evaluating what's good for performance, I check what HP is offering in their "mobile workstation" laptops.

Actually, if one of those fits in your budget, I'd opt for that over anything else on the Windows side.

My opinion:

It depends on which CPU that your new build is going to have, as well as what speed and type of RAM that your system will have (I am assuming that you will have two m.2 PCI-e SSDs in your hardware configuration).

With creative applications, you should have a configuration that's well balanced (relative performance-wise) between the core components. You would not want to match that RTX 3060 with an i9-13900K or a Threadripper Pro as the GPU would then become by far the weaker link in the CPU-GPU balancing game.
