Hi, I have an i7 and nvidia card (which currently for some reason does not work with darktable) in one of my laptops and it takes around 10 sec to get a 25-30 MB image from my canon processed. That to be said, the processor and graphics (when they work) are really nice, but mobile edition of course, so it's not the maximum performance you can get, I think. And they are not to cheap, bought my laptop on sale...
I'm also thinking of upgrading an currently unused desktop PC. I was thinking about the AMD FX 8350 and an ATI HD Readon 7850 (the 2GB version) or maybe a 7870. This, at least to me, seems to be a budget effective way to get good performance... any thoughts on that proposed setup?
