Luddite Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I am about to buy a new PC. Is there anything I should be looking for in the spec that best suits Affinity designer software? Last time I asked about graphics at the shop they were talking about the best spec for gaming - which I don't do. Would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
