Generally speaking the only part of gaming GPUs that PD utilizes is video hardware encoding, and that's only used when producing/exporting your project. I have no information on how the current version of PD performs with AMD cards, but I can tell you that upgrading from an RTX 2070 to an RTX 4070 made very little difference as shown here.

You won't see any change with most projects in timeline scrubbing regardless of which GPU you have, as that's almost all done using the CPU.

Quote I am interesting in upgrading my RTX3060ti to something more powerful. The AMD 7900xtx has attracted my attention and would like to know of any users that use this new card and whether they are happy with it.
Is the timeline scrubbing much faster and what about the render speeds. Anything would be really useful; to me. Thank You

Generally, switching to AMD not a real good choice for PD editing or for hardware encoding. Some PD features will only support Nvidia like Nvidia Video/Audio Noise Removal, Room Echo Removal in PD. Other features incorporated in PD support both GPU's and use the CUDA blocks vs just the video hardware encoding as was mentioned.

But typically, for encoding, AMD lags in quality. You see that shown here with PD directly https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/97532.page#392352 or here https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-intel-nvidia-video-encoding-performance-quality-tested with generic ffmpeg encoding which also tested your specific interest GPU.

Timeline playback of just video content can be handled by the GPU, not just the CPU, but no distinct timeline scrubbing advantage there with PD between the two GPU's.

I have a desktop PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 8 core CPU and 32gb internal memory with a Gigabyte Radeon RX 590 videocard. That is what I see under device manager from the control panel. When I move the timeline over a videoclip the preview is very choppy. I will have to lower the preview setting, but stil it is not perfect. PD works much better on my cheap HP laptop with a I5 CPU and 16GB of memory! Even on ultra high settings? Is this all related to my videocard? Better get a Nvidia videocard?

As I mentioned prior, my experience is no real distinct timeline scrubbing advantage. So, for timeline playback, the difference between a RX590 and Nvidia equivalent of GTX1060 will be small. I'd guess your observation might be more video complexity, check details or post the text file from MediaInfo app or MediaInfo online, https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfoOnline

Hi,

I am thinking of getting a Gigabyte Gaming OC GeForce RTX 2070 or better the RTX 3070. Can get them used for a fair price.

On my HP laptop with Intel Core I5 CPU the display adapter is an Intel HD 520. PD works very well on my laptop.

I hope PD will run much smoother with a RTX 2070 or RTX 3070 on my AMD Ryzen 7 8 Core desktop PC with 32gb internal memory.
