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.
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”.
After Effects CC 2018: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 & 2080 Ti Performance
After Effects has had a bit of a rocky relationship with video cards ever since GPU acceleration was added back in 2015 with little reason to use more than a mid-range video card. However, NVIDIA’s new RTX series cards are here and they bring to the table two new features that may finally give you a reason to invest in a high-end GPU for After Effects: Tensor cores and RT cores.
Photoshop CC 2018: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 & 2080 Ti Performance
Photoshop does utilize the video card to accelerate a number of tasks, but a high end GPU is rarely necessary to get great performance. Do the RTX cards follow this trend, or do the new RT and tensor cores give them a performance advantage?
