Yes, when I was testing both Nvidia and AMD cards, the AMD one was used 100% during both playback and export. And macOS is more optimized for professional work, period.I must agree. I installed a Sapphire Vega 64 and it works wonderfully. The screen is more responsive and rendering in adobe premiere at 4K is faster that it was with my GTX 1070 FE. I am sure it is just that the AMD drivers are optimized by Apple.
Doing my 4K drone footage editing with color grading in Windows, it didn't matter whether I used the Nvidia or AMD, or whether I disabled the integrated graphics in a million ways. Premiere Pro in Windows seems to brutally insist on using the CPU and iGPU more, and the Nvidia was only utilized at 20-40%, and the AMD at 11-15%. Makes having a dedicated GPU in Windows 10 useless, and yes it was obviously a lot slower in exports and pretty stuttering in playback. It could also possibly be all Adobe's fault too, for not optimizing its software for Windows properly.
