    What's your video card?

    GPU acceleration has complicated the video card conversation, particularly since Photoshop has rather spotty support. But Lightroom 6 is due any day now, and reportedly will be 100x faster due to OpenCL acceleration.

    So my question is, what vidcard do you use and would you upgrade for a speed increase in Photoshop and/or Lightroom? Or have you already upgraded, and did you notice a speed increase?

    Wait to see real world results. There will probably be some spec requirements in terms of vram and version supported. It's not the most stable framework, so you may see a specific list of tested cards.

      Well most of the time I'm running on an integrated Iris Pro 5200 GPU and it got noticeably faster with the new Capture One Pro 8 which seemingly uses OpenCL a lot. I mean, it used it before but it's much faster now. Video authoring software might benefit from CUDA but judging by the fact how many notebooks get shipped with the Iris GPU I'd say OpenCL is a weapon of choice.

      LR was always way faster for me than C1 but I have never came to terms with its color rendering.

        New Video Card?
        by Stephen A
        I'm thinking of getting a new video card. I'd like to spend ~$250, however I'm willing to spend upwards of $350.

        I'll mostly be doing photoshop & illustrator work, as well as stuff in Lightroom. However, I also play video games now and then - however, my work takes priority over my...

        What causes video "smearing"?
        by Doug Nelson
        I have a fast computer, fast videocard, both with lots of RAM, but I also get a lot of video residual effects and "smearing". For example, if one window is in front of another and I close or minimize the front one, sometimes its ghost image is left behind until I do something to cause the...

        Video Cards
        by Sharon
        I am getting a new computer in several weeks. P4, 1.5 GHz and all the other goodies.

        The computer comes with a Asus V7700 32mb GeForce2 AGP video card. My present computer has a Matrox Millennium G200 AGP video card. Does any one know if Asus is as good a Matrox?

        Thanks....

        ATI"All-In-Wonder 128 Pro" video card
        by thomasgeorge
        For those looking to get into the "frame grabbing" game, this video card is well worth taking a look at. Priced around $198.00, it is not exactly cheap but the features it offers and the user friendly software which come with it are definately worth the expense. This card is 32 bit and allows...

        How do you make sure your video card is in 24 bit mode? I have Window Xp.
