I have just completed testing on my two desktop systems: My reserve system with an Intel i7-7700 and a GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB card, and my main system with an AMD Ryzen R7 3800X and a GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER card.
First, my results from my i7 reserve system:
QuickSync Disabled:
Extended Overall 346
Extended Live Playback 38.6
Extended Export 30.5
Standard Overall 309
Standard Live Playback 36.7
Standard Export 25
GPU Score 14.2
QuickSync Enabled:
Extended Overall 414
Extended Live Playback 39.2
Extended Export 43.5
Standard Overall 363
Standard Live Playback 37.5
Standard Export 35
GPU Score 14.4
Next, my results from my main Ryzen system:
Extended Overall 637
Extended Live Playback 62.1
Extended Export 65.2
Standard Overall 608
Standard Live Playback 66
Standard Export 55.5
GPU Score 54
These results clearly show that while the architectural changes between Pascal and Turing might not be all that noticeable in gaming or lower-resolution video processing, the 4k tests clearly show the advantages of the newer architecture in video processing - an indication that the older Pascal architecture is clearly choking under pressure compared to Turing.
And the older Intel Kaby Lake quad-core platform, surprisingly, held its own against newer CPU platforms although it is clearly at a disadvantage. This platform clearly needs a Turing-based GTX 1660 SUPER just for the performance to be balanced. Even a lowly GTX 1650 SUPER is a better GPU choice than any Pascal GPU at this point.
What's more, in the PugetSystems results list I found the lone Windows PC system that used a recent (Polaris or later generation) discrete AMD Radeon GPU - in this case, a system that used a Radeon RX 480 - and that system scored no worse in the GPU score than the higher-end contemporaneous Pascal GeForce GPUs. So while earlier tests were biased in favor of Nvidia, the last three versions of the PugetSystems test suite for Premiere Pro clearly favor the absolute newest GPU architectures, whether from Nvidia or AMD.
Hope this makes up a potential PC buyer's mind when it comes to configuring a system for video editing using the Adobe Creative Cloud applications.
