I'm into virtual pinball and Pinball FX is a big subject in that community. That and I have an AtGames Legends Pinball system (two actually) and the flipper lag on those tends to show Nvidia as the better card, in general. Now Pinball FX3 is great too and can run on a potato and won't matter what video card really, but FX is a performance tweak/whore at the moment and the better experience seems to follow Nvidia cards.
That said, if you don't give a crap about pinball, feel free to buy more video card for the buck with AMD.
Nvidia is also better at transcoding video - but that's only a big deal if you run your own media server and don't run a modern Intel Quicksync compatible chipset. I suspect this will be something AMD improves upon soon.
Premier uses the GPU way differently than davinci resolve does, resolve utilizes way more of the GPU than premier will.
But also depends on what tools your using. If your using basic video editing tools than the 6700xt will be as good or better than the 3060. But here's the real difference.
The 3060 has ai and RT cores and cuda cores. The 6700xt doesn't have any of that ai deep learning stuff. So if you intend to use any ai tools that are now coming in various video editors, the 6700xt will get its butt kicked badly and performance will not be able to hold a candle to the 3060
I'll give an example, I was using something called upscayle which is sort of like a ai upscaling software but for upscaling 320p video to over 1080p frame by frame. And for my cpu to do it for a 3 minute video was gonna take hours and it took my GPU 15 minutes to do that.
So despite the 3050 being really lame at everything else the ai capabilities are super cool and I wish I had a 3060 but I really want to wait until the RTX 4070 12GB drops in price to what the 3060 normally sells for. I think that would be a better upgrade
