Graphics card for rendering

[Photosbykev]

Hi,

I'm looking to put a new computer together for mainly Photoshop/Premiere Pro but also for 3D work and currently thinking of using either a P4000 or RTX 2080Ti graphics card. Are there any advantages to using one or the other?

regards
Kev

I think the 2080ti will be better price performance wise - *gaming* cards are pretty well suited to photogrammetric processing.

I've got more focus on rendering but apply the same logic as artsomnia.art - i'd aim for the best multiple GPU setup you can afford.

I'd like 2x RTX 2070 but I think NVlink is only on the 2080 upwards so i'll probably aim for 2x 2080. Potentially the software can combine the GPU memory although this may not be beneficial for Zephyr, Premier etc?

Personally i prefer to have 2x mid range cards rather than 1 high-end card (price/performance). Please also note that that zephyr will use the cards independently so you don't need to have the same identical cards installed on your sytem. I never tried with NVlink to be honest, but unless you're working with HUGE photos, i don't think that it will show a significant difference (but i'd love to see some experiments )
