Any decoding improvements on Premiere Pro V.22 for AMD systems???

Just saw the new Premiere update (v.22) and improved decoding for 10bit 422 H264 and HEVC footage. Sounds great. But will this not improve playback performance of H264 and HEVC footage on an AMD system?

I have:

AMD 5950x CPU

AMD 6800XT GPU

64GB ram

etc.

(I also have a boxed 3080 card if you think that'll be better than the 6800xt...but went with the 6800xt because of puget system's test results for multicam which I do often. We only work with Sony footage (H264 and HEVC...mostly 10bit stuff)

The hardware decoding improvements have not changed at all in Premiere Pro since this 2021 thread. AMD restricts all of its GPUs up to and including the RX 7000 (RDNA 3) generation to 4:2:0, and it is highly likely that the video engine in the RX 9000 series remains largely unchanged. It is a hardware engine limitation. And Adobe has not yet updated its hardware decoding support since 2021 at any rate (at least in the official release builds). Yet it is now almost 3.5 years since this thread was started.

I hope this answers this thread directly.

it should work.. the 6800xt has gpu acceleration. im pretty sure that the 6800xt would perform better in premiere though.

i dont see why the update wouldn't be improved for the 6800xt.

The reason I was asking...the update says:

New hardware-accelerated decoding for 10-bit 4:2:2 HEVC files provides improved playback and smoother editing with supported hardware, including M1 Macs and Windows Intel machines.

and

New hardware-accelerated decoding for 10-bit 4:2:2 H.264 provides an improved editing experience on M1 Macs.

NOTHING about AMD Systems???

They didn't mention NVIDIA cards either..

I think in that message, they are referring to CPUs. The systems they are referring to (M1 Macs and Windows Intel machines) are most common, especially since they are laptops. I would still think that they made it better for AMD machines in the update, but I searched on Google and nothing came up about improved performance for AMD systems.

Yeah, so I really don't know. You won't get off any better with a 3080 most likely since the 6800xt is better for editing in general.
