A question for fiscally limited gear heads on the list about boosting image processing performance. I’d love to move on from LR6, but haven’t found anything that isn’t ransomeware that works better.
I have been toying with upgrading my image processing capabilities. I could throw money at my mac pro, but there are significant limitations on how much further I could push it. One possibility would be to upgrade the processor and GPU in my linux box and set up a windows boot on it. The question being what would be the most cost effective way of going about this. Looking at the processor: CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 4 Socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 60 Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570S CPU @ 2.90GHz Stepping: 3 CPU MHz: 2806.258 CPU max MHz: 3600.0000 CPU min MHz: 800.0000 BogoMIPS: 5797.22 Virtualization: VT-x L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 256K L3 cache: 6144K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-3 It looks as if the video is on the mobo, I don’t see a video card in it. It doesn’t take a lot of graphics processing to run text screens under X. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) The goal being the most cost effective way to significantly boost performance over what I have on my mac pro Model Name: Mac Pro Model Identifier: MacPro5,1 Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz Number of Processors: 2 Total Number of Cores: 8 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache (per Processor): 8 MB Memory: 24 GB Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 5770 Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Dynamic, Max): 1024 MB Vendor: AMD (0x1002) Device ID: 0x68b8 -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
