Well, I've long heard that Adobe runs better on a PC, since about CS5 maybe. That's the mistake I made (in reverse) a few years ago not realising it, so worked the other way. Overall though, SSD/NVMe will provide a much bigger boost to Video workflow than ANYTHING a Graphics card can do for you. Also gives advantage to RAM Previews in After Effects and certain GPU accelerated plug-ins. Only advantage to faster GPU is with certain plug-ins which are GPU accelerated. However, compared to what you currently have 670Mb/Sec to 1.5Gb/Sec will be way faster working with Video than what you're used to. Only way to get faster is to RAID a couple of SSDs /NVMe's together as RAID 0, which will takes Read speeds to 2.8GB - 4.9Gb/sec+ real-world, with Write speeds not far behind. If you put this (with a fan-assisted PCIe) card directly into Slot 2 or 4 (RAID slot) you'll get minimum 1.5Gb Read (maximum possible on PCIe 2.0 which the MacPro 5.1 has). Any of their 961 / 960 / 970 Evos ( NOT 'Evo Plus', which need firmware updates done via a PC first) are a good place to start. Would defo say stick with Samsung and you'll not go wrong. My vote, is get some at least Sata SSDs (max's at 530Mb read) into the MacPro, or some cheap NVMe M.2 (starts at about 670Mb Read if put into an external USB C 3.1 drive like the Anyoyo. I personally feel CC2019 Premiere runs better for me, although Adobe have just released the fifth bug-fix update for CC2020 (or 2020 as they now called it) last night and it's running better than previously. Defo need minimum RX580 Sapphire Pulse (Nitro+ is slightly faster, but a deeper brute to install and takes two power cables), which will allow you to go to Mojave, with its modern drivers and great NVMe M.2 driver support. The Radeon 5870 is long-in-the-tooth now with no Metal support. Everything is about the Previews/Cached Video/Audio with Premiere. I would say, SSD / NVMe far more important to Premiere than your graphics card (especially going from Nvidia to recommended AMD RX580 in Mojave). It's not going to keep up much longer, the 4,1 / 5,1 generation. If I had to start over now with a 2010, I'm not sure which way I'd go. I've been seeing the latest Mac Pro in Apple's refurbished section lately, and I get tempted to pick one up, but my old 2009 has been keeping the money rolling in for over a decade now, thanks to semi-regular updates. or you could pick up a newer system and have less hassle. It will take time and money to update it to work, and maybe that's something you're interested in. You'll need a new graphics card, probably new disks or a RAID disk system (which is what I have), and probably updates to firmware, depending on what OS you're using currently. It will be a bit of a journey, but it's not that hard with all the awesome informational threads in this section. Very recently, I updated from Yosemite 10.10.5 and CS6 to the latest CC 2020, but I'm extremely glad I did, because it's better than ever, now that I'm on High Sierra 10.13.6. Two APC 1500 Smart-UPS battery backups, one for Mac and RAID, one for monitors and other devices. Areca 1880-ix16 RAID card with 2GB memory, connected via mini-SAS to 12-disk RAID array made up of WD Ultrastar 4TB enterprise HDDs SSD boot disk (512GB), scratch disk (1TB), and backup boot disks (256 GB x2) Nvidia GTX 980Ti 6GB (flashed with EFI) I edit 4K video for Dell Technologies all day, every day with this thing. I'm using a 2009 Mac Pro with a lot of updates to make it run the latest version of Adobe Premiere, which is 14.1 under Creative Cloud 2020, so you can update yours to do the same. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. If I do the latter, does anyone have recommendations on what graphics card would work best with my set up? Is it possible to use a previous version of Adobe Premiere in the meantime? I cannot seem to find information for which version of Premiere would work best with no GPU Acceleration. My friend said we can trade again and I can get the iMac back (although the iMac was having weird graphics card display glitches), or I can update the graphics card on this one. I know nothing about graphics cards and would greatly appreciate some advice on how to move forward. Apparently I do not have the GPU acceleration needed for Premiere. Premiere worked fine on the iMac but I cannot get it to work on this computer due to extreme lagging which then leads to freezing and crashing. I traded my friend my 2015 iMac for this computer thinking it would be better for handling video work and music editing. I have a mid 2010 MacPro with the following specs:
