RT/Tensor Cores and the future of Pr, AE, Ps ...

Report · Jan 09, 2019

Hey Im planning on building my new workstation soon for Editing/VFX, let me know what you think. I have 2 routes either the Intel i9 9900K route or the AMD Threadripper 1920X or 1950X.

Here are the links for the builds :

Intel : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/32gpLJ

AMD : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xjwj9J

The intel build is slightly cheaper but the AMD build have more cores and better for multithreading and multitasking.

My Question is if we will see in the future of the adobe suite integration of the new RT/Tensor core and the Deep learning capabilities. Or should I switch to an 1080ti (maybe 2 depending on work )

My previous (3-4 year old) setup was a dual 960 with i7 4720 @2.6Ghz (No OC) and 16GB ram

Let me know what you think and if RT/Tensor core will be implemented into video editing/VFX

Best place to post this is the associated Hardware forum ... link to it on the right of the Overview page of this forum.

And ... look at the Puget Systems and Safeharbor Computing pages, two of the best custom building shops for video post editing/grading/fx work, even to installing the apps for you. They have a ton of information on their sites, including which parts are worth the money together.

Note ... they use very few CPUs and mobos, as even some apparently high powered spendy CPUs don't actually work well for video post, especially compared to others of less cost.

And most mobos do not have their lanes and resources set well for the number of resource-demanding cards and externals we tend to need. So conflicts in data movement slow down even some spendy "gamer" mobos when used with video post work.

And last ... don't choose something because it's great at gaming video ... our resources demands are very different.

yeah the only reason I chose the "gaming" RTX in the build was because of the price point it had compared to similar models which were 20-30% more expensive. But I'll check out some alternative GPUs on Puget. As for RT/Tensor cores and adobe suite do you think it has a future or is it just a dud ?

Too soon to say to me.

Short answer, no, it doesn't have a future.

Long answer, some tech exists for almost a decade and only now gets used in Adobe, quicksync being the one, still missing NVlink and AMD VCE, they will probably never be used.

If you are willing to wait 5 to 10 years then you might see the benefits.

Even Pugetsystems reviewers said tensor cores might never be used in Adobe.

It took just a few months, but Premiere Pro 2020 is making at least some use of the Turing architecture which debuted the consumer version of Tensor cores (Volta debuted Tensor cores, but its availability was restricted to one high-end workstation card). The GPU scores in the PugetBench for Premiere Pro benchmark clearly showed that even the GTX 1650 (the cheapest Turing architecture GPU) outperformed even the previous-gen GTX 1080 Ti. Adobe might still not utilize the Tensor cores at this time, but one aspect of the architecture itself (the integer cores are dedicated, unlike the integer cores that were integrated with the floating-point cores as they were in all previous Nvidia CUDA GPU architectures up to and including Volta) is chiefly responsible for that boost in Premiere Pro's rendering performance.
