Colinchipp Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I am looking at having a desktop built. Do I need to spec.a dedicated graphics card to run Affinity Photo efficiently or will Radeon Vega 11 do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blende21 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Mac or Windows? On a Mac it is simple - Affinity uses Metal, Metal is powered by the GPU. So if the GPU runs under Metal, Affinity takes advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinchipp Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Thanks for that. I was thinking along those lines but don't know enough about it to be certain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Offย topic, youย seem to have usedย your email address as your forum display name. That makes it available to spammers, so you might want to change it to something else.

Dave.Kelly Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Isnt it planned to get graphics acceleration for Photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinchipp Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hi, the spec I was looking at has integrated graphics accelerator shown as an option instead of a dedicated card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinchipp Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 That's great thanks. Might be able to save a bit of money on the build rather than over spec-ing for my needs๐ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
