Blender expands AMD GPU support with HIP-RT integration. What is HIP-RT, and how much does it impreove rendering times?
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.
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.
Agisoft Metashape 1.6.5 – AMD Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Performance
AMD recently launched a new generation of their Radeon graphics cards, and we have finally gotten our hands on the first two models – the RX 6800 and 6800 XT – to test in our lab. How do they stack up against NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series cards, which are similarly priced, in Agisoft Metashape?
Metashape 1.5.1: NVIDIA GeForce, Titan, and AMD Radeon Performance Comparison
Metashape, formerly known as PhotoScan, is a photogrammetry program that takes a set of images and combines them to create a 3D model or map. Processing of those images into point clouds and 3D meshes/textures is time-consuming, heavily using a computer’s CPU and GPU. We have recently updated our benchmark tools to support Metashape, along with new image sets to test, so now we are taking a look at how different NVIDIA and AMD video cards perform in this application.
After Effects CC 2019: NVIDIA GeForce RTX Performance
While we just recently tested the RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti in After Effects CC 2018, a number of changes have happened that prompted us to update our testing. Will the update to CC 2019, launch of the RTX 2070, or launch of the Intel Core i9 9900K change our conclusions or are powerful GPUs still unnecessary for most Ae users?
Photoshop CC 2019: NVIDIA GeForce RTX Performance
Photoshop uses 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 in the latest version of Photoshop CC 2019, or will we finally see a reason to use a high-end GPU?
Premiere Pro CC 2018: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Performance
NVIDIA’s new RTX cards perform very well in Premiere Pro, but Premiere tends to be limited by the CPU more than the GPU. Because of this, is there any reason to use the RTX 2080 or 2080 Ti over the more affordable RTX 2070?
DaVinci Resolve 15: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Performance
DaVinci Resolve heavily leverages the GPU to improve performance which means that the new RTX cards should give excellent performance. This article is a follow-up to the RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti testing we did recently and adds results for the RTX 2070 8GB card.
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.
