Load shedding might be taking a break, but your render times shouldn't keep you waiting. If you edit 4K or 8K footage in South Africa, time is literally money. We put the highly anticipated AMD GPU through its paces. Let us dive into our RX 9070 Premiere Pro performance tests to see if it is worth your hard-earned ZAR.

Unpacking the RX 9070 Premiere Pro Performance Benchmarks 🚀

The RX 9070 is finally here. AMD has tweaked their latest architecture to push heavy creative workloads. But how does it actually handle Adobe Premiere Pro? We ran standard PugetBench tests to find out.

The results show massive improvements in timeline playback and export times. If you are building a workstation, you might want to look at our custom gaming PCs. These rigs double as incredible editing powerhouses.

Real-World 4K and 8K Editing Tests ✨

Benchmarks only tell half the story. We imported a massive 8K RED RAW project timeline to test real-world responsiveness. Scrubbing through the timeline was buttery smooth.

The RX 9070 Premiere Pro performance shines when applying heavy Lumetri colour grades. No dropped frames... just pure editing bliss. If you prefer a machine that is ready to go, check out our pre-built desktop computers. They offer incredible plug-and-play value for busy creators.

TIP

Render Cache Pro Tip ⚡

Always set your Premiere Pro media cache to a dedicated NVMe SSD. Combined with the raw power of the RX 9070, this ensures your playback stays smooth even when layering complex After Effects dynamic links.

Power Efficiency and Thermals 🔧

South African summers get extremely hot. Your PC should not double as a heater. The RX 9070 runs surprisingly cool under sustained rendering loads. Power draw peaked at reasonable levels during our export tests.

You do not need a massive power supply to keep things stable. Looking for something portable instead? We have a massive range of high-performance laptops for sale that handle video editing on the move.

Is the RX 9070 Worth the Upgrade?

If you are still rendering on older hardware, the performance jump is massive. Faster exports mean you can take on more client work.
