Modern video editing softwares like Adobe Premiere Pro CC supports GPGPU (General-purpose computing on graphics processing units) that allows them to use graphics cards for their various complex computational tasks along with CPU. This means you cannot neglect the importance of a graphics card in this era when it comes with video editing, especially with top video editing softwares like Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe After Effects CC or with other popular video editing softwares include Adobe Premiere Elements, Corel VideoStudio, Filmora, Pinnacle Studio.įor HD or Full HD video editing a good budget graphics card with 2GB VRAM is enough but for 4K video editing, you do need a decent mid-range to high-end graphics card having a minimum of 4GB Video Memory or VRAM. Video Editing and Video Rendering used to be completely processor or CPU dependent tasks, but nowadays with modern video editing softwares taking advantage of the latest GPU technologies, the role of graphics card has become prominent in video editing/rendering.
