I guess you are right: when I bought my new graphics card a few months ago, AMD was generally ahead in benchmark results. But the Nvidia 750/750 Ti seemed to be more power efficient than any comparable card by AMD. If you are looking for a card that doesn't need an additional power plug, Nvidia GTX 750 Ti may be faster.

Do look at the openCL benchmarks for th cards you are considering- they will NOT be the same as the gaming performance. Cards are generally priced for their gaming performance so for dt only openCL use what you want to look for is a cheap 'slow for gaming ' card that has really good openCL, and that usually means AMD. I use a now rather old silent (fanless) AMD 6750 and it is fast. These days I think you can get the newer 6850 fanless, and I have seen even the the 6950 modified to fanless with fancy coolers if you want to go that far. These are much faster than my card and there are newer models still- but even with mine and a slow cpu I get pretty much real time response within dt and so have no need to upgrade :-) -----Original Message----- From: thokster [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 12 December 2014 14:50 To: [email protected]; Andre Bischof Subject: Re: [Darktable-users] Recommendation: Open-CL graphic card My card: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 750 TI OC Version 2048MB GDDRAm 12.12.2014, 15:30 Uhr, schrieb Andre Bischof <[email protected]>: ... > Which type of graphic card should I buy to increase the work with dt? > At the moment I'm only using onboard graphics, as I'm not a gamer, > which makes it a very silent system - I would like to leave it as > silent as possible! > > So here is what I would like, priorities from top to low in this order: > - compatible ? > - silent yes > - fast (experiencable faster than now) faster, probably yes > - easy to use driver handling with Ubuntu easy > > My system: > root@linux:~# lshw -short > H/W-Pfad Gerät Klasse Beschreibung > ================================================== > system To Be Filled By O.E.M.
