Novice Video Editing Hardware Question

Hi All,

I am currently building a new PC for gaming and productivity such as coding, Power Bi and Video Editing.

I have secured a 5900X with 32Gb of 3600mhz RAM and will looking for a flagship Nvidia or AMD card when I can get my hands on one.

I would like to know if Premiere and Resolve can make use of AMD Graphics Cards as with the current Nivida shortage this could very well be a viable option if they stack up well against the 3000 series.

Awesome thanks so much.

For some reason I thought Resolve and Premiere preferred Nvidia cards so this is really good to know.

OK thanks, that is good to know. I hope the new AMD cards don't have an NDA until release date again like Ryzen.

Really want to see some performance figures and I need to know what will fit in my NZXT H1.

Interesting, really not sure whether to get an AMD card or not.

Video editing won't be a massive thing but certainly something that the PC is used for.

My only concern is avalibility to be honest. If it is anything like the 3000 series launch I will be without a GPU for months if I wait too long.
