Hello
I'm a newbie of Darktable and I need some advices :)
My computer is a desktop Intel i5-3450 _without_ dedicated gpu, and my
OS is Debian Testing. I use Darktable 2.2.5 (compiled from source).
With files from my old camera (Oly E-520) the speed and reactivity of
Darktable is accettable, but with files from my "new" camera
(Panasonic G7) the
performance is poor, so I want to improve the performance adding a new
GPU so to take advantage of the OpenCL.
My budget is little, I have to stay within 150euros: I'm orientated to
the AMD RX560 (4GB) or to the Nvidia GTX 1050ti.
If I look at the various general or "gaming" benchmarks, I find that
the 1050ti is faster than the RX560. But if I look here
(http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=darktable-opencl-gpu&num=3)
I see that the RX460 (and I assume also the RX560) is faster than the
1050ti.
If I look at the economical side, the 1050ti is a little more
expensive than the RX560.
The question is: what do you suggest me to buy? The RX560 or the
1050ti? Or another one, different from this two?
Looking at this mailing list I've seen that there is also the problem
of the drivers for the GPUs. I can use the Open driver or the
Proprietary one, simply I'll choose the faster/better of the two.
And last: is my linux distribution (Debian testing) problematic for
the installation of the Open/driver?
Thanks to all,
BW
