To answer your question directly:

 

Both GPUs are compatible with currently available (via the Creative Cloud desktop front end) versions of Premiere Pro, and will continue to be compatible for the foreseeable future. You will, however, have to mind the limitations of both of those GPUs, which have only 8 GB of VRAM, which will limit how many video layers that you can process through the GPU, especially at higher resolutions.

 

As for the relative performance of the two GPUs in question, the RTX 3070 Ti is more powerful than the RTX 4060 because Premiere Pro currently favors high memory bandwidth/throughput regardless of the GPU generation, and the RTX 4060 has a memory bus bandwidth of only 128 bits and a throughput of only 272 GB/s while the RTX 3070 Ti has a 256-bit memory bus and a throughput of 608 GB/s. This will affect the GPU effects performance.

 

However, if your PC has an old or low-end CPU, then everything gets thrown out the window because the CPU itself will limit the GPU's performance.

Why should a specific software like Premiere Pro or indeed any other, require certain compatible graphics cards?? Aren't they all graphics cards after all?

Here's the reason:

 

Certain effects within Premiere Pro utilize the GPU relatively heavily. That, in turn, relies heavily on the performance and support of that GPU.

 

And over time, older GPUs can no longer keep up with the demands of newer software. And if a GPU is too old, it will become completely incompatible with the GPU features in Premiere Pro, which will force software-only everything which will degrade system performance significantly or even severely.

 

And in a future version of Premiere Pro, Adobe may completely remove software-only rendering, which will force you to buy a new and supported GPU just to even run Premiere Pro at all (that is, if your GPU is too old or too weak, then Premiere pro will not even start at all but will instead spit out an error message before it kicks you out back to the Windows desktop).
