NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series has had a rolling release over the last several weeks, and now the RTX 3070 has joined the party. How does it stack up against its bigger siblings and the previous generation of GeForce and Titan cards? Let’s take a look at how they all compare in Agisoft Metashape.
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.4 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 & 3090 Performance
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series cards are here, with NVIDIA boasting significant performance gains over the previous generation. The RTX 3080 launched last week, and now with the RTX 3090 released today we can compare these models to each other as well as the older 20 Series to find out how large those gains are in photogrammetry applications like Metashape.
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.4 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Performance
The RTX 3000 series cards are here, with NVIDIA boasting significant performance gains over the previous generation. With the RTX 3080 now launched, we can find out how large those gains are in photogrammetry applications like Metashape.
Ryzen XT and Core i9 10850K for Photogrammetry: Are They Worth It?
AMD and Intel have both released small revisions to their latest-gen consumer CPU lines, in the form of the Ryzen XT models and Core i9 10850K. On paper these appear to be identical to current products except for very slight adjustments in clock speed, but how do they stack up in real-world photogrammetry applications?
Best Workstation PC for Metashape (Summer 2020)
A short article covering some of the best computer system configurations for photogrammetry in Metashape.
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.2 HT / SMT Performance Analysis
We have observed that some photogrammetry applications seem to perform better with lower core count processors, so we wanted to look at whether Hyperthreading and Simultaneous Multithreading could be negatively impacting performance in these programs – starting with Agisoft Metashape.
Agisoft Metashape Performance: Intel Core 10th Gen vs AMD Ryzen 3rd Gen
Intel’s new 10th Gen Core processors are out now, with an increased number of cores and very high clock speeds. How do they stack up against AMD’s Ryzen chips and other current models for photogrammetry workloads in Agisoft Metashape?
Metashape 1.6.1: Running Simultaneous Instances
In our past testing of Metashape, we have found that it only effectively uses around 8-16 cores. More than that doesn’t help, and so the focus for best performance is on high clock speeds within that range. What if you were running multiple photogrammetry jobs at the same time, though? Would that end up better utilizing a high core count processor?
Agisoft Metashape CPU Performance: AMD Threadripper 3990X 64 Core
AMD has launched a new top-end CPU, equipped with a whopping 64 cores: the Threadripper 3990X. In this article we will look at how this new chip performs in Agisoft Metashape, compared to a variety of Intel and AMD’s other desktop processors.
What is the Best CPU for Photogrammetry (2019)
Picking the processor, or CPU, is one of the most important decisions when building or buying a workstation – but there are dozens of options to pick from at any given point, with varying specifications and price points, so making the right choice isn’t always clear-cut. We’ve tested all of the latest processors from Intel and AMD across three popular photogrammetry applications to help you know what the best choice is for your next system.
