Rufusbadger Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi, Please delete this if I am out of order here. Is there anywhere I can get pointers to how graphics cards compare when used in photo manipulations and not gaming. I want to get a card when this beta version goes live but it seems to be an information desert out there! Thanks for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanSG Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I'm in the same boat! The number of factors that might affect the performance of AP is bewildering (for me) - do Serif have any ideas yet about which graphics card features are the most critical? Obviously it's early days, but are there any plans to collect benchmark data for analysis? Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 21, 2020 Staff Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hi @Rufusbadger, IanSG, Welcome to Affinity Forums We are already collecting data/working on this and i guess more info will be disclosed near release. Eventually cards that do pose problems may be blacklisted/disabled automatically (no hardware acceleration used).

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I do hope at least some recommendations of the model ranges at least are published when AP Beta goes live because GPU's are not cheap! I'll keep putting money in the jar and wait until my update comes through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just found this thread, which contains a lot of benchmark results. @James Ritson's posts are particularly interesting because it's clear that the GPU results can be dependent on the CPU. It'll be interesting to see how the benchmarks correlate with real world performance! Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
