Jeff, at Photo Taco, talks with computer building expert Matt Bach of Puget Systems about the best choices for building a Lightroom computer in 2018. They talk about all of the decisions to make to custom build a Windows computer, as well as the recommendations for where it is worth spending the money if you are buying a Mac or a PC from a big box store.
Redshift 2.5.72 vs 2.6.11 Performance Comparison
Redshift is a GPU-based rendering engine, which recently updated from version 2.5.72 to 2.6.11. That update added compatibility with NVIDIA’s Volta GPU architecture, and cards like the Titan V, but did it also improve render speeds?
Redshift 2.6.11 GPU Performance Comparison
Redshift is a GPU-based rendering engine, and the latest version 2.6.11 introduced compatibility with NVIDIA’s Volta graphics architecture and cards like the Titan V. Lets take a look at how different GeForce and Titan models perform.
Redshift 2.6.11 Multi-GPU Performance Scaling
Redshift is a GPU-based rendering engine, but how well does its performance scale when multiple video cards are used in a system?
Titan V Multi GPU Performance Scaling in OctaneRender
Now that OctaneRender has been updated to support the Volta GPU architecture, how well does its performance scale when using multiple Titan Vs? And how does that compare to other popular rendering cards like the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti?
Is the Titan V a Good GPU for OctaneRender?
As of version 3.08, the Volta GPU architecture is now supported in OctaneRender. How does it stack up compared to other Titan and GeForce series graphics cards – in terms of both performance and value?
Case Study with Utah State University
Professor George and his students at Utah State University used three Puget Systems workstations, along with photogrammetry and virtual reality programs, to design a new, sustainable community on Powder Mountain in the Ogden Valley of Utah.
Agisoft PhotoScan 1.4.1 – Xeon Scalable CPU Performance and GPU Scaling
PhotoScan makes heavy use of both the central processors (CPUs) in a computer and the video cards (GPUs) to run many of the calculations involved in turning still images into a 3D model or map. Intel’s new Xeon Scalable processors offer configurations with dozens of CPU cores, as well as the ability to support multiple GPUs – so let’s see how they perform in PhotoScan.
