GPU for Premier Pro - NVIDIA T1200

I'm looking for advice on an appropriate GPU for premier pro.

I am aware that there is a list of recommended GPU for premier pro - and I do not see the NVIDIA T1200 on it? The new company I work for uses a 3rd party IT company to source all their laptops and he is trying to talk me into a latop with NVIDIA T1200. He was previously jerking me around quite a bit on some of the other specs, so I'm concerned, since I don't see this GPU on Adobes recommended list.

I need to use premier pro for my job, so this is pretty critical. Thanks!

Is the latop an HP zBook Studio G8? Those had an option for the NVIDIA T1200 GPU. That's was a great laptop for Premiere Pro when it was the new model. It's still a good laptop, but if that (or something similar) is what you go with, make sure the price reflects that it's an older model. The current version is the HP zBook Studio G10.

As far as the other specifications go, try to get 32GB or RAM (or more), 1TB or larger internal storage, and a built-in display that has a native resolution that's higher than 1920-by-1080. For CPU, i9 frist, i7 second. If possible, avoid i5 unless it's all your budget allow for. Also, make sure it has at least one Thunderbolt port.

To follow this, the G8 also came with 11th-Gen Intel Core CPUs that were of the 10 nm Tiger Lake-H architecture (no 14 nm Rocket Lake CPUs were ever released in mobile form). Thus, the G8 should run decently well, if not up to the standards of the newest-gen laptops.

That said, the Nvidia T1200 (note: no Quadro branding as Nvidia had retired the Quadro branding with the release of the Ampere architecture, and the release of the T1200 came after the RTX A-series GPUs had already been released) will be the limiting factor in the performance of that G8 as it is based on the TU117 chip that uses an older-gen Volta NVDEC and NVENC, and that the memory throughput is somewhat low even by current economical GPU standards despite its use of GDDR6 VRAM.
