Hi to everyone,

I need some advices before buying new Mbpro 16,in details I chose the basic model but with 32gb ram .

My question is, which graphic card choose? And Radeon pro 5300-4gb ram, AMD Radeon pro 5500-4gb ram or AMD Radeon pro -8gb ram?

Use almost Lightroom and Photoshop

If all you are doing is Lightroom and Photoshop, you won't notice any real difference between these three cards. 32 gigs of RAM is a smart choice.

If you have 32GB of main RAM, it will run comfortably well enough.
(You can understand it if you see the help that was introduced earlier.)
Rather, video products such as Premiere Pro may require 32GB of RAM.

Jax73,Good evening.

Lightroom Classic system requirements

I think this help document will be helpful.
I think that it works satisfactorily if VRAM is 4GB or more.
If you have the budget, the VRAM 8GB model will work better.

Thanks for your reply,

You think or are you sure that will work better?

Just to know for not waist money

Hi Jax73, it really depends on the resolution of your photos. If you shoot Nikon with 40 Megapixels, I'd definitely consider it. 

If you're looking to edit in Premiere Pro at all, I'd go for the 8GB, but know that Adobe hasn't released an update yet to support this graphics card. I'm sure it's in the works, but they've taken longer than usual.
