Lightroom Classic CC Version 7.2 Performance
The initial release of Lightroom Classic CC gave us some great performance gains, but the Lightroom team is not done yet. With the new 7.2 update, we once again get some terrific performance improvements, this time with an emphasis on improved multi-core performance using high core count CPUs in a number of tasks.
Premiere Pro CC 2018 GPU Performance: NVIDIA Titan V 12GB
The NVIDIA Titan V is an interesting and powerful card with a mix of features that should improve performance and features that are completely unused by Premiere Pro. The raw power of this card makes it the fastest GPU we’ve testing for Exporting, but it unfortunately is not quite as impressive when it comes to Live Playback performance.
SOLIDWORKS 2018 CPU Comparison: Coffee Lake vs Skylake-X vs Threadripper
Dassault Systemes launched the initial version of SOLIDWORKS 2018 (SP0.1) late last year, but with the recent release of SP1 we expect that customers will soon be using it in production environments. In preparation for that, we have tested the field of current Intel Core i7 and i9 processors to see how they stack up in SW 2018. We hadn’t yet had a chance to test AMD’s Threadripper processors in SOLIDWORKS either, so they are also included in this round of benchmarks.
SOLIDWORKS World 2018
At SOLIDWORKS World this year we are excited to share with everyone our support team that now has a member that is SOLIDWORKS certified. If you’ll be attending SWW18, be sure to swing by booth #203 and find out all about our incredible support and even get any of your questions answered!
Pix4D GPU Comparison: GeForce, Titan, and Quadro
Pix4D is an advanced photogrammetry application, suited to wide range of uses, with a focus on handling images captured by drone cameras. Processing of those images into point clouds and 3D meshes / textures utilizes the video card (GPU) in a workstation, but how much impact do different cards make on overall performance?
Pix4D CPU Comparison: Coffee Lake vs Skylake X vs Threadripper
Pix4D is an advanced photogrammetry application, suited to wide range of uses, with a focus on handling images captured by drone cameras. Processing of those images into point clouds and 3D meshes / textures is time consuming, so we have tested multiple projects across a wide range of CPUs to see what hardware performs the best.
Lightroom Classic CC: is it faster than CC 2015?
With Lightroom Classic CC, Adobe is advertising performance improvements for a number of tasks including importing, generating smart previews, scrolling through images, and much more. In this article we will be running our Lightroom benchmark suite to see if Classic CC is actually faster than CC 2015.
DaVinci Resolve 14 GPU Scaling Analysis (1-4x Titan Xp)
DaVinci Resolve has long been known to greatly benefit from multiple GPUs, but is this still true or has the recent launch of Resolve 14 changed things?
DaVinci Resolve 14 CPU Performance: Skylake-X vs Threadripper
While GPU performance is often the first thing that comes up when configuring a DaVinci Resolve workstation, the CPU is in many ways even more important. Modern CPUs from Intel and AMD can have up to 18 cores, but can DaVinci Resolve actually make use of them all?
SOLIDWORKS 2017: Coffee Lake CPU Comparison (i7 8700K, i5 8600K, i3 8350K)
The latest Core processors from Intel have launched: the 8th generation of this series, code named “Coffee Lake”. This brings with it the first six-core CPUs in Intel’s mainstream processor line, so we are taking a look at how they perform in Solidworks 2017. For comparison, we also have results from our previous recommendation for modeling and CAD: the Core i7 7700K “Kaby Lake” chip.
