Hey There,

I am going to build a Windows PC for Video Editing. Now my question is Will GeForce GTX 1660  6GB Graphics Card work on Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018 (version 12 or later) ? Click Here to see my components. I don't have much knowledge about Graphics Card for Premiere Pro CC. Hope someone will help me to buy Graphics Card and let me know in details Please.

Thanks.

Am using i7 8th gen with GTX 960. It's cooking up the rams and CPU while gpu stays handsup not even utilizing 1% . What couple be the issue as I have tried all dos and donts available online.

I think Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Super OC 6GB Graphics Card could serve your pourpose. In Bangladesh curently graphics card price are too high or most of them are out of stock. You may find best graphics card price in BD

Just installed my 1660 ti pairing with i7 4790 and its running smooth. Previously what used to take 5 to 10 minutes rendering a simple HD footage with onboard graphics is now taking just 30 secs. Full screen timeline preview of 4K footage graded with lumetri and rescaled is running buttery smooth.

    That GPU should work. However, you might run into a different problem: The CPU that you're considering might not be able to match the GPU in relative performance - and that might cause problems in stability and/or quality in CUDA apps, especially Premiere Pro.

    In addition, you will NOT be able to utilize hardware H.264 encoding because that CPU has had its integrated graphics permanently disabled at the factory. Only software encoding will be available.

      Thanks for your reply, God bless you. Your information help me a lot.

      If i buy Core i5-8400 which integrated Intel UHD 630 Graphics will it work fine with GTX 1660?

      Hope you let me know more,

      will Core i5-8400 provide relative performance with GTX 1660 for Premiere Pro without facing any problem?

      Will Core i5-8400 utilize hardware H.264 Encoding?

      Even the i5-8400 might not be enough. Remember, those eighth- and ninth-generation  i5 CPUs are barely any more powerful than seventh-generation quad-core i7 CPUs because those six-core CPUs lack hyperthreading whereas those older quad-core i7's had hyperthreading. You would really need at least a 6-core, 12-thread i7-8700K, or better still an 8-core, 8-thread i7-9700K, in order to take full advantage of that GTX 1660.

      Unfortunately, there is no Turing-based GPU below the GTX 1660 at this present time (although a GTX 1650 had been announced, no cards using that GPU has shipped as of yet). You might want to wait for the GTX 1650 to actually arrive at resellers if you want to stick with the 6-core, 6-thread i5 CPU.
