ChrisJW Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I am about to replace my old 64 bit PC with Windows 10 Pro, an intel (R) Core Duo CPU E850, OS build 19041.804. I am looking at a much higher spec PC with an Intel i9 10th gen 10 core processor. My question is, Is a graphics card (GPU) such as a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics processor, or better, necessary with such a high spec CPU? What is the advantage, if any, for having a graphics card? At present I am finding editing in Affinity Photo very slow. I cannot update the OS to 19042.804. I just get the message saying: 'Cannot update, PC too old.' Thus, I am unable to select Hardware Acceleration option in the Preferences to enable OpenCL compute acceleration. I work with RAW files. Note: I have posted this topic previously but in the wrong category. I'm a newbie to these forums so any comments would be welcome.
