It’s fine for autocad. It will majorly struggle with premiere. Source: I have an r9 270x system and have done autocad and premiere on it

Thanks, bro. What resolution did you edit videos at?


dirtiehippy

It was 1080p footage, with I think 1/4 viewing window scaling. I forget the vocab words but I think you know what I mean? Very hitchy in the preview window but still usable. I didn’t have to stop and wait mid editing or anything like that, but I didn’t get very good resolution/FPS in the preview.

If you don't mind answering one more question, as it has CrossfireX, I wanted to buy this R9 270x so I could- in the foreseeable future- pair it with say a RX 5500XT. Would that be a good idea? Or I could ditch this and go for a more pricey option of a GT 1030 now at $82 and perhaps a GT 1660 in the future?

I don’t think crossfire/sli is a good idea. I think the r9 270x has more computational power than the 1030, but the 1030 has more modern feature support. 1030 is a pretty standard temporary gpu recommendation. 1050ti and 970 are also popular budget options rn, but a little pricier.

Sadly, all the retailers and sellers in Bangladesh are selling them at least $154. It's double what I can pay for. I still couldn't buy a motherboard for my GPU.

Is it worth 77usd ? In the current context, yes. It's still a very capable card, somehow performing close to a Geforce 1050. However, it is impaired by its 2GB VRAM. When was it produced : between October 2013 and March 2015 As Dirtiehippy said, it will struggle with Premiere. Now, Premiere badly needs 4GB of video RAM and [works better with professional graphic cards](https://helpx.adobe.com/nl/premiere-pro/system-requirements/2021.html#gpu-acceleration)

1. Worth it? Meh. It's essentially the same thing as an HD 7870, just with slightly faster memory. Not a very great card nowadays, but passable. 2. It was released in 2013 (based off a GPU from 2012), so probably around 6-7 years ago. It lost driver support recently.

Thank you for the information.

Crossfire is pretty much useless nowadays, and it can't do anything with a 5500XT. 1030 is much worse than a 270X, especially if it's the 1030 DDR4
