Advantage in switching from RTX 3060 to RTX 4070

[michaeld6372]

have a Dell 8940, with an i9 processor, and an Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU. Would going to a newer Nvidia GPU improve speed? The GPU i am looking at is the RTX 4070.  Would this help speed things up in premiere pro?

Thank you,

Michael

Probably, but that depends on what you are doing

Not everything uses CUDA - and other hardware acceleration notes

In your case, coming from an RTX 3060 (assuming that you have the 12 GB version), the RTX 4070 would not sufficiently improve your system's performance to justify spending $500 on since your 11th-Gen i9-11900 with only 8 physical CPU cores (16 threads) would limit your system's performance potential.
