Graphic Card (GC)

[MahaB82A]

There many recommended GC for Premiere Pro. I assume “recommended” mean it is good to have such GC. Computers come with built in GC. Therefore it is good to confirm particular built in GC is not good for Premiere Pro.  

What are the affects you can see if GC is not good?

If I can remember correctly you give me this link before. What I want know is if GC is not good for Permiere Pro, what affects you can see on monitor when you use Permiere Pro for video editing.

I got new computer before changing the GC I have to make sure whether existing GC is good or bad. If existing GC is good I can save $.

What are the issues you can see on the screen when you use Premiere Pro, if video card is not a suitable one.

[Ann Bens]

Can be anything.

[MahaB82A]

It is good to be specific then only I can decide on changing.

If your GPU (grahpics card) is weak you will get dropped frames and slow playback. The GUI of Premiere Pro is not going to turn to red, white and blue or anything super crazy. That being said you need a matched system. Don't buy an RTX 2080 if you have a quadcore CPU but then again don't buy a GTX 1060 if you have a 16 core CPU. You can use the Windows Task Manager to find the weakest link in your system as seen in the video below.

What are the complete computer specs, including hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

Here is everything

The recommended graphics cards are those that Adobe recommends and where Adobe thinks that the performance is adequate. But all also depends on the complexity of your edits and the video size that you intend to edit. 8k video takes more resources than half VGA. If your specific graphics card is not listed, you will need to interpolate, by seeing if the card with a performance level just below or just ahead is recommended.

If your graphics card is not fast enough, you will not be able to adequately edit a video.

But it's also the overall system that is important. And given the current graphics card prices, it may be a good approach to use what you have currently and see if it is still adequate. To change the graphics card afterwards in a desktop computer is not magic, even for a lesser talented hardware builder. This is not true for laptop users.

Issue here is I am a novice in video editing at the moment I do not need high ended GC but after proberly two or three years I may need a high ended GC during that time I may not be able to find GC compatible with this system.

A person's need for a highend graphic card is not based on their video editing experience but what they plan on editing.

What you mean plan on editing?
