Question

Nvidia RTX 3000 Series, Cuda Cores, Photoshop

Hi,

 

I'm looking for qualified technical support on what to buy regarding the new 3000 series Nvidia Vid cards for my PS useage.

 

I will be doing a lot of enlarging of various gigapixel photos with the newer type 2 interpolation, (That uses the GPU as I understand it) as well as using a lot of the oil paint feature in PS.

 

I've been eyeing the new Nvidia cards to hopefully increase the speed of my work. The RTX 3090 has double the cuda cores of the next model down. Thus the premium price.

 

What I want to know for sure, before spending that sort of money, is, is there a direct correlation to the number of cuda cores and OpenCL to how quickly PS will perform the tasks I mentioned?

 

Does anyone know?

 

Thanks so much!

Hi

There's very little information out there about how Photoshop utilizes the GPU, but I think the RTX3090 would be over kill for Photoshop, the RTX3070 is slightly faster than the RTX2080ti and the RTX3080 is even faster again, both these cards are half the price of the RTX2080ti and the RTX3090.

What GPU do you currently have and have you checked to see how the GPU is been utilized when working on such large files.

There's some info here about Photoshop and GPU's

    Thanks for your reply. I agree that for most PS uses, a 3090 would be
    overkill. However, given my usage scenario, the ability to process
    gigapixel size images on blowing up using preserve details 2.0, and on oil
    paint for my needs, would benefit from a faster GPU. Thus my curiosity if
    more cuda cores = more powerful OpenCL/PS functions specific to my needs.
    If double the cuda cores doesn't do much for PS and my specific needs, then
    yes, I would not want to spend that amount of money!

    I have a GTX 1070 right now. I don't think Vram will impact my usage
    scenarios above much.

    Have you thought about https://topazlabs.com/gigapixel-ai/

    Even their system requirements optimal recommentation for a GPU is GTX1080 or higher
