Support is not the best, especially since Adobe's implementation of OpenCL in Premiere Pro still has major rendering bugs, primarily green and/or pink stripes in the rendered video. Until Adobe fixes those OpenCL bugs, if you're running Windows you're better off locking Premiere to the software-only MPE mode in the project settings, or not choose that Radeon at all and going for an Nvidia GeForce GTX card instead.
Not true at all, i have AMD rx480 and have no bugs that are particular to AMD/Opencl videocard.
Rendered lots of projects in a span of 6 months with the usual problems that exists on both AMD and Nvidia, Adobe is the slowest NLE in 2018, everyone beats them at render speed, stabilization, color grading, timeline performance and so on.
What little hope it has is the interface and ease of use, no one wants to start learning davinci or fcpx, we still hope Adobe at some point will give a f... and optimize Premiere.
And i should have clarified that render issues occur on all GPUs whether you use CUDA or Opencl.
Nvidia is plagued by the same bugs that happen on AMD, latest one was Intel's integrated GPU disabled discrete GPU on Nvidia, just check the forum and you will find a lot of complaints.
I've been using an RX 580 for the past year, mostly in Photoshop and Illustrator with no major issues, and generally flawless performance. Agreed that render times in Premiere are really bad, but I don't know how much better a similarly priced card from Nvidia would do. Even After Effects runs and renders using my RX 580, but it is definitely laggy scrubbing the timeline.
