NVIDIA’s TITAN RTX means business – and a lot of it. This jack-of-all-trades graphics card caters to those with serious visual computing needs, whether it be designing and rendering 3D scenes, or poring over repositories of photos or other data with deep-learning work.

As we’ve mentioned before, we intend to expand our Premiere Pro testing when time allows us to tackle developing better tests, and also figure out the ins and outs of the software. Renderers are quite a bit easier to benchmark in comparison to video editors and image manipulators – we can say that with confidence.

Our results with simpler encodes shows diminishing returns after a certain point, which is ultimately great for the end-consumer who can get by with a lower-end GPU, but perhaps not those who were hoping to get a bit more of an encoding benefit out of their higher-end GPU. We’re currently retesting GPUs for an upcoming look at ProViz performance on the latest gaming cards to come out, so we look forward to seeing how AMD’s new Radeon Multi-Media Engine stacks up.

We posted a dedicated look at Vegas Pro a couple of months ago, and ultimately found that it’s not too favorable towards NVIDIA graphics cards. We discovered that while performance can really lack on certain NVIDIA GPUs out-of-the-box, merely adding a profile for the software inside of NVIDIA’s Control Panel can help quite a bit. It’s a bit of a MAGIX trick, you might say.

Ultimately, the TITAN RTX is a powerful GPU, but neither Premiere Pro or Vegas make it obvious.
