phylliskeithphotography Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Brian, I saw where you recommended NOT getting these video cards. Is that still accurate? Also, any insights you can give me to the specs of these two systems is appreciated. I have not talked to this company yet as I'm still shopping around. I've been reading your articles for several months now and need to purchase asap. My current PC is on its tenth year and is just too slow to handle Photoshop.

Brian Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Get the 4070. Do not get the 4060. I was telling folks to hold off to a certain degree since the early releases of the 4000 series of NVIDIA Cards where having issues with melting power connectors, but I think those bugs have been worked out. In fact, I tell people now to get a NVIDIA RTX 4070 8GB Video RAM or NVIDIA RTX 4080 8GB Video RAM at a minimum. Since both of those computers have 12GB of VRAM, even better!

That's a huge help. BTW, I appreciate your "build for the future" advice. My current system has lasted me 9 years, so well worth the investment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Adobe is constantly releasing new versions these days; we aren't on the 2-3 year cycle of software, it's more like every 6-8 months and they come out with a huge upgrade. We are at Version 25.5 as I type this...I'm sure we will be on version 27 or 28 come next year. I'm in no mood to fork out money for a new damn computer every 18-24 months to support a bunch of AI Crap that I don't want. If you think about it, PS CC 25.5 isn't THAT much different than CS6! Photoshop, at its core...is still Photoshop. It's all the other crap they keep adding that forces us to upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
