AMD’s new Ryzen 5000 Series processors are here, with significant improvements including an advertised 19% improvement in IPC (instructions per clock). This should result in large performance gains across the board, but exactly how well do these CPUs perform in the real world?
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.5: AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Performance
AMD has brought their new Zen 3 microarchitecture to mainstream processors with the Ryzen 5000 Series. These chips range from 6 to 16 cores, and are supposed to bring substantial performance improvements over the previous generation. How much impact will this have on processing times in Agisoft Metashape, and how do these CPUs compare to other AMD and Intel models?
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.4 – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, 3080 & 3090 Performance
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?
