Hi, should I buy a new video card?  I have the geforce rtx 2070 running on i9-9900k 64gb ram.

 

With every update: the pc win10 runs slower making editing annoying.

I use https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html to know my exact cpu temp

I don't think it's your PC at all. I had to use Premiere Pro recently after about 2 years with Final Cut Pro and DavinciResolve and was baffled by how sluggish Premiere runs compared to other NLEs. Your HW specs seem fine unless you edit 8K Raw footage.

With Premiere Pro I do not recommend switching to an AMD GPU at all because Premiere Pro still performs significantly slower in OpenCL than in CUDA. What's more, only NVIDIA GPUs support CUDA at all. Thus, if you switch to a top-of-the-line card of the Polaris architecture, your system in Premiere may perform no faster than if you had an older Pascal GTX 1050 Ti GPU. In other words, you'd just be wasting your money with this GPU switch.

 

And before you switch GPUs to begin with, is your CPU overheating or at least running significantly higher in temperatures than is comfortable? Your CPU might have either inadequate cooling or an improperly mounted cooler.

Yeah, my system runs very hot.  Do you have any suggestions for a cpu cooler?

Did you build that system yourself? Or did someone else build it for you?

 

If you built it yourself, you might not have installed a cooler at all whatsoever on that CPU. If that were the case, then it is highly likely that your CPU's clock speed has been throttled way back in the middle of usage - all the way down to below 1.0 GHz, in some cases - to prevent a total meltdown of your system. Remember, Intel does NOT include any cooler at all whatsoever with any of its K- and X-series CPUs, but instead have a label on their boxes that read something like "A separately purchased CPU cooler is required with this CPU."

 

If on the other hand someone else built it for you, then the only way to check is to open up your PC's case.

 

By the way, the AMD Polaris GPU architecture actually predates NVIDIA's Pascal architecture. AMD itself has introduced two newer architectures since Polaris. Thus, Polaris is now somewhat outdated.

Polaris Architecture vs Turing Architecture.  That is the real question?  Should I switch to AMD?
