How big is the difference between older 2080 Ti and top moden GPU in Premiere?

Hello,

I'm using good but not new Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti GPU.

My question is simple: is there a big difference between this card and newest like 5080 and 5090? I'm interested about Premiere, After effects and Photoshop.

In past times 2080 Ti was top card will it give big boost if replaced to not top 5080 card? Or only 5090?

 

For example on 2080 Ti I can't work smoothly with 8K videos shoot on Sony A1. Even 4K 60pfs or 120 pfs is sometimes laggy. Effects like warp stabilizer takes more time then I want, will new GPU help with this?

Hi @SPfoto - To answer your question: whether you’ll see better playback performance with the 5080 compared to the 2080 Ti depends on the specific combination of codec, bit depth, and chroma subsampling. The reason the new 50 series GPUs are so popular is that they now support hardware acceleration for H.264 and HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 media. For benchmark comparisons, PugetBench offers industry standard testing where you can directly compare system performance.

Not that big, as it turns out. I asked ChatGPT yesterday, how many streams (simultaneous videos) can a 5080 and a 2060Super play back. Given the insane time gap between the two, the resilt is modest

Yeah, HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 media is a real pain for my older card, I will look comparison, thank you.
