Report · Sep 18, 2024

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new computer build for LRc and photoshop, running normal MS apps too. A vendor I do buisness with is recommending the new AMD Ryzen 7-9700X specs are below. Im also going to get a graphics card strickly for monitor support not gaming with Nivida 12gb DDR6. Installing Samsung Pro990 SSD's:

8 core Granite Ridge L2 8MB cche, L3 32 MB cache, 65 w power consumption, operation Frequency 3.8 Ghz, turbo speed 5.50 GHz, 16 processing threads, 64 bit.

I would like opinion before I do.

Thanks

Mike

I don't know if this is just one bad review among many positive reviews, or if there are many bad reviews, you do the research.

Please be specific about the exact make and model of your graphics card.

If you need to save some money somewhere, the disk which you will store your photos on does not need to be an SSD, it can be a relatively slow old fashioned HD, you will never notice the difference. Disk where you place the catalog file should be a relative fast disk like an SSD.
