As a part of our goal to provide not only quality workstations, but a complete workflow solution, Puget Systems has recently partnered with Glyph Tehchnologies to offer their robust and reliable external drives to our customers.
Time for William to learn Linux
I’m going to diversify my operating system portfolio, integrating the leading open source project into my existing range of Microsoft options. (Did I nail that financial analogy or what?)
McFarland & Pecci
Puget Systems has teamed up with award-winning filmmaker, director and photographer Mike Pecci to build the ultimate PC for video editing.
Titan X Performance: PCI-E 3.0 x8 vs x16
With video cards getting faster and display resolutions getting larger, it is time to revisit our PCI-E testing to see if there is finally a performance difference between using a GPU in x8 versus x16.
Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.3 CPU Comparison
Choosing the right CPU for you Premiere Pro workstation can be a difficult task with dozens of different options to choose from. In this article, we will be benchmarking a variety of single and dual CPU options that should give the best performance in Premiere Pro to see exactly how fast each configuration actually performs in the real world.
Adobe After Effects CC 2015.3 Pascal GPU Performance
New video cards often get a lot of press, but unfortunately for content creators (and other professionals), it is almost impossible to find any relevant non-gaming benchmarks to help you decide what card to purchase. In this article we will be looking at the new GTX 1000 series cards and the Pascal Titan X to see how the perform in After Effects.
Adobe After Effects CC 2015.3 CPU Comparison
After Effects is often touted as being able to use as many CPU cores as you can throw at it. However, our testing has indicated that AE may actually perform better with a lower core count CPU than one with a higher number of cores. In this article, we will be benchmarking a variety of single and dual CPU configurations to see exactly how fast different CPUs actually perform in After Effects.
Adobe After Effects CC 2015.3 Multi Core Performance
High-end systems for After Effects are sometimes sold with two high core count CPUs for maximum CPU performance. However, our testing has shown that After Effects actually has some significant performance problems with multiple CPUs which makes those configurations in reality much slower than a system with a single CPU.
Taking the Time
I’ve never felt comfortable working on anything but the most simple plumbing jobs around my home. So when I noticed a leak in my sprinkler system, I decided to call a professional.
I started by checking reviews on Yelp. That took me to a few Facebook pages which lead me to a handful of websites. I made a list of six companies that had positive reviews from work they performed in my area. Of those six, I was able to get quotes from three companies, and my experience with each couldn’t have been more diverse.
Install Ubuntu 16.04 or 14.04 and CUDA 8 and 7.5 for NVIDIA Pascal GPU
You got your new wonderful NVIDIA Pascal GPU … maybe a GTX 1080, 1070, or Titan X(P) … And, you want to setup a CUDA environment for some dev work or maybe try some “machine learning” code with your new card. What are you going to do? At the time of this writing CUDA 8 is still in RC and the deb and rpm packages have drivers that don’t work with Pascal. I’ll walk through the tricks you need to do a manual setup of CUDA 7.5 and 8.0 on top of Ubuntu 16.04 or 14.04 that will work with the new Pascal based GPU’s
