VectorCat Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 My 2009 mac pro runs AD very nicely..I’m considering a video card upgrade, to a GE 1050 ti 4 gb Since AD is one of my 3 essential creative tools, I wonder if performance in AD would be improved by a better card. thank you for any information!
firstdefence Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Affinity Designer uses CPU for the bulk of its work but I'd upgrade anyway as other programs work differently and you would likely see an improvement in performance for some apps and maybe a little in Affinity Designer.

VectorCat Posted July 1, 2018 Author Posted July 1, 2018 firstdefence thank you for the clarification..I’m happy not to spend money if it won’t gain me anything significant.
firstdefence Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 I suppose you'd be better off buying a better CPU and/or more good quality Memory if the main reason for using the PC is Affinity. iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

VectorCat Posted July 1, 2018 Author Posted July 1, 2018 I’m good with what I have. I could get a new machine, but that wont deliver next-level performance for what I do. thanks!
