In this video, Anubha explores whether the number of CUDA cores in a graphics card affects rendering speed in Adobe Premiere. Surprisingly, her tests show that there is no significant difference in rendering time between a GTX 1060 and a GTX 1080 Ti, suggesting that Adobe Premiere does not scale its performance based on the number of CUDA cores.
In this video by Anubha, she explores the question of whether the number of CUDA cores in a graphics card affects rendering speed in Adobe Premiere. She starts off by discussing the importance of having current and high-performance gear, especially for gamers and VR experiences. She built a second PC specifically for VR and compared the rendering times of a GTX 1060 and a GTX 1080 Ti using a simple four-minute video with an upscale and overlay components.
Surprisingly, the results showed that the GTX 1060 and the GTX 1080 Ti completed the render task in just below 10 minutes, with no significant difference between the two cards. This contradicted Anubha’s expectations, as she believed that having more CUDA cores would result in faster rendering times. She further tested the system by changing the output method to CPU, and as expected, the render time increased to 12 minutes.
Based on these findings, Anubha concludes that while having CUDA cores available in the system does make a noticeable improvement in rendering, Adobe Premiere does not scale its performance based on the number of CUDA cores. This suggests that if you are building a system solely for rendering videos, you can save money by opting for a cheaper graphics card.
To further investigate the topic, Anubha plans to test the performance of a 20 Series card and a Quadro card in Adobe Premiere. She leaves viewers with more questions at the end and hopes the information provided has been interesting. She also includes details about the test systems used in the video in the description.
