What were the best hardware configurations for a RealityCapture photogrammetry workstation as 2020 drew to a close?
RealityCapture 1.1 – SMT Performance Analysis on AMD Ryzen 5000 Series
In the past we have found that RealityCapture can perform better on high core count processors when SMT is turned off. With the release of AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Series processors in late 2020, those became some of the fastest chips available for RealityCapture – and the top-end models in that family sit right on the edge of where we found disabling SMT to be helpful in our older tests. So does turning SMT off help or hinder these new Ryzen CPUs?
RealityCapture 1.1 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Multi-GPU Performance
In past testing, we found that RealityCapture benefited somewhat from adding a second video card. Is that still the case with the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series cards, and the recent update to RealityCapture 1.1 Blaze?
Agisoft Metashape 1.7.0 vs 1.6.5 Performance – Featuring Radeon RX 6900 XT
Agisoft recently released a major update to Metashape, version 1.7.0, after we had wrapped up most of our testing for a GPU performance roundup on the older 1.6.5. We’ve now tested a few video cards on the new version to see what has changed.
Revit 2021 – AMD Ryzen 5000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Series processors have shown stellar performance across a wide range of applications so far, and now we have the opportunity to test them head-to-head against Intel’s Core series in Autodesk Revit 2021.
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.5 – GeForce RTX 30 Series vs Radeon RX 6000 Series
Now that we finally have performance data for NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and AMD’s Radeon RX 6900 XT, it is time for a head-to-head roundup of the GeForce RTX 30 Series and Radeon RX 6000 Series video cards in Agisoft Metashape.
DaVinci Resolve Studio – AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Performance
DaVinci Resolve has long been known for how well it utilizes the power of your GPU, with NVIDIA being the top performer for several years. But will this continue with the recently launched Radeon RX 6900 XT, or will AMD be able to take the lead?
Adobe Premiere Pro – AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Performance
Adobe has been focusing fairly heavily on GPU performance in the latest versions of Premiere Pro, adding more GPU accelerated effects as well as GPU-based hardware encoding. NVIDIA typically has a strong performance lead over AMD for Premiere Pro, but will this continue with the recently launched AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB?
Adobe After Effects – AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Performance
The number of GPU accelerated effects in After Effects has increased in recent years, but it continues to be an application that is primarily CPU bottlenecked. With the launch of the Radeon 6900 XT, we can get a look at how AMD competes with NVIDIA at the top end of their GPU product line.
Adobe Photoshop – AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Performance
After the launch of NVIDIA’s GeForce 30 series cards, AMD is firing back with the Radeon RX 6900 XT. But while Photoshop does have a number of effects that can utilize the GPU, there generally isn’t much of a performance difference between various cards. Will this hold true with the 6900 XT, or will AMD take the lead over NVIDIA?
