It's been pretty well established for many years now that more cuda cores = better performance in Adobe Premiere for gpu accelerated video editing. The mercury playback engine that Premiere is based around was developed with CUDA in mind. Adobe eventually added OpenCL support for GPU acceleration and AMD Cards did well with this but still everyone in the community recommended top-end Nvidia cards.
LinusTechTips did a video this past spring that pretty much debunked this and showed AMD and Nvidia on par with each other with everything from a 970, R 290 to a Fury and 980ti.

Getting to the point I was pretty set on getting a 1070 for the price/performance and amount of cuda cores and vram. But since I saw Linus's video, I'm starting to wonder if a RX 480 for $200ish less would be a better buy?
I'm not a heavy gamer. Thoughts?
