What would be the best hardware configuration to run Affinity Photo?


Recommended Posts

Dear, I think about assembling my new pc for photo editing with the AP and Capture One, but I have some doubts, mainly regarding the video card.
I already decided with the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor and 32 Gb of 2666Mhz DDR4 RAM. I have two SSD drives. Regarding the video card, I'm thinking about a 4GB GTX 1650 NVedia.
I don't know if this is the best setting to run Affinity Photo. So I ask your help ...

There isn't really an answer, as long as it's meets the minimum spec, which it does the apps will run. Performance is difficult to advise on as each system is different in terms of hardware and software. Just ensure you have the latest graphics drivers installed and the system is up to date on Windows updates and you should be fine.

Our developers have just added initial support for hardware acceleration (needs to be enabled in Preferences > Performance, "Enable OpenCL compute acceleration") in our 1.9 (1.9.0.733) beta of Affinity Photo for Windows. As well as a benchmark feature to show results for vector and raster modes. These are still in early development and will continue to be worked on throughout the 1.9 beta phase. The betas versions are available for existing users of Affinity apps and are installed alongside the existing version for testing.
