Marc,

thank you very much for your warning!

As you see, the first step is done, and I can see a huge improvement in browsing through the lighttable with the GTX 1650.

I was wondering too if it is worth to go to 4K, I wouldn't like to go back to square one, performance wise.

Maybe 2560x1440 is the wise compromise, and I save a lot of money: I do not really feel constraint at 1920x1200, I was suffering more for the slow paging.

In the next few days I should receive a second hand Xeon E3, that might boost further the overall performance.

Gian-Luca,

Just a little warning about purchasing a 4K display.  You indeed will need a good GPU. But still there is (or are) module(s) that are fully cpu-bound. That’s the case with tone equaliser. Interactive response when zooming and panning in the darkroom may suffer from poor response time on a 4K display (3840x2160) when you have a tone equaliser module activated in the module stack.  That’s my experience with dt 3.2.1 for Windows on my 16mp pictures. That issue is not existing that much on my WQHD display (2560x1440) or almost not on a HD display  (1920x1080).

I repeat: it’s experience with dt 3.2.1 for Windows. I am not aware on how it behaves on Linux.

thanks, Šarūnas,

I have two Darktable systems, based on Lenovo TS140, one with AMD, the

other with Nvidia Quadro 400.

Neither of the two manage OpenCL..

0.039390 [opencl_init] found opencl runtime library 'libOpenCL'

0.039412 [opencl_init] opencl library 'libOpenCL' found on your system

and loaded

0.042560 [opencl_init] found 1 platform

0.042582 [opencl_init] found 1 device

0.042727 [opencl_init] device 0 `Quadro 400' has sm_20 support.

0.042778 [opencl_init] discarding device 0 `Quadro 400' due to

insufficient global memory (511MB).

0.042784 [opencl_init] no suitable devices found.

0.042788 [opencl_init] FINALLY: opencl is NOT AVAILABLE on this system.

I would like to upgrade one of the two systems to a 4K display, so was

already decided to purchase a new video card.

Is there a tested solution that works out of the box, or a list of DT

OpenCL compliant cards for Linux?
