We take a look at the differences between the Intel Z370 chipset, launched in 2017, and the updated Z390 that launched in 2018. What features does the newer version add?
NVLink on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 & 2080 Ti in Windows 10
There was a lot of excitement when it was first announced that GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti cards would have NVLink connectors, because of the assumption that it would allow them to pool graphics memory when used in pairs. Digging into the functionality of the NVLink connection on these cards, however, things are not as straightforward as folks may have hoped.
Lightroom Classic CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance
Lighroom Classic CC saw dramatic performance improvements with higher core count CPUs, but the 2990WX in particular has a staggering 32 cores. Will Lightroom Classic be able to take advantage of these extremely high core counts, or we have reached the point of diminishing returns?
How to enable 30 bit in Photoshop
After choosing a 10-bit per channel graphics card (AMD Radeon Pro / Nvidia Quadro), and connecting it to a 10-bit per channel monitor, there is a setting in Photoshop you should enable to create a 30 bit workflow.
Are the NVIDIA RTX video cards good for video editing?
The new RTX series from NVIDIA may not be great for Adobe applications, but they are great for DaVinci Resolve and are very interesting cards for the future due to two major new features: Tensor cores and RT cores.
Premiere Pro CC 2018: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 & 2080 Ti Performance
Premiere Pro CC utilizes the GPU to enhance performance for a number of tasks but it is often more important to get the right CPU than it is to get a faster GPU. NVIDIA’s new RTX series cards have general performance increases like you would expect, but much of what makes these cards interesting are the addition of two new features: Tensor cores and RT cores.
OctaneRender 3.08: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 & 2080 Ti GPU Rendering Performance
OctaneRender is a GPU-based rendering engine, and as of version 3.08 is compatible with NVIDIA’s Turing graphics architecture in the GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti cards. Let’s take a look at how these new GeForce models compare to the previous generation.
Redshift 2.6.22: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 & 2080 Ti GPU Rendering Performance
Redshift is a GPU-based rendering engine, and the latest version 2.6.22 is compatible with NVIDIA’s Turing graphics architecture in the GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti cards. Let’s take a look at how these new GeForce models compare to the previous generation.
NVIDIA Dual-Fan GeForce RTX Coolers Ruining Multi-GPU Performance
The new GeForce RTX series cards perform well in GPU based rendering, as individual cards, and have great potential for the future thanks to their new RT cores. However, when stacking them together to measure multi-GPU scaling we ran into some serious problems.
DaVinci Resolve 15: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 & 2080 Ti Performance
DaVinci Resolve heavily leverages the GPU to improve performance which means that the new RTX cards should give excellent performance. What makes these cards even more interesting is the fact that Blackmagic has already stated that they will be using the new turing cores on these cards to “accelerate AI inferencing for graphics enhancement”.
