>Resolve beats Premiere in render speed, at least on a powerful desktop computer (i7-7700K @ 4.20 Ghz - RTX 2080Ti - 32GB RAM)

I think this is mostly down to your GPU - I have an I9/9900 32GB RAM setup with a GTX670, which I mostly use as a DAW, but do my YouTube editing on Premiere. With Resolve (which I far prefer in terms of UI), it's tragic how slow it is - about 2 minutes to render a 30 second HD clip that has stereo audio and nothing else on it. That's 15 seconds in Premiere. So I'm hoping that a future upgrade to a RTX30 series GPU will turn the tables and I'll be able to use Resolve seriously..



Yeah, Resolve is much better at taking advantage of the GPU for sure, not just for rendering but everywhere in the editor as well, making it more fluid to work with.


Dependence for GPU performance would be good indicator for well-made software.
