You would need a benchmark to support this statement. The Phoronix ones and my experience says otherwise. See for example benchmarks 2 and 3: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Darktable-27-Results GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is a 140 $ card, so not a high-end one but not a crappy one either, and it's 50 % slower than a core i7 for these images. I once gave a try to a ~50 $ graphics card and it was way slower with OpenCL than without. What's true is that you don't need a very high end card to get a massive improvement. -- Matthieu Moy https://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
