GPU for Lightroom, Premier Pro and an odd bit of gaming.

[Danthus]

Spec me good people!

I want a card to power a Dell P2715Q. In order of importance,

Lightroom
Premier Pro
Gaming.

I currently run the following system:

Intel Core i5 4690k @ 4 GHz
16 Gb Corsair Vengeance Pro
ASUS R280X

I can't justify the cost of a 1080, other than that, talk to me!

Annoyingly there doesn't seem to be any very recent GPU acceleration benchmarks for the latest version of the Adobe Suite.

Previous benchmarks showed Nvidia cards performed better at the same Tflops of compute, so we could assume that hasn't changed.

In which case, the best card overall for your needs would be the GTX 1070. Much cheaper than the 1080, but only ~20% slower, and 8GB of RAM.

Also this Palit is on a great deal, and has the best cooler of any of the cards (coolest and quietest): https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pali...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-03g-pl.html

Otherwise there's this Zotac for slightly more. It trades a mildly worse cooler (still great though) for a 5 year warranty: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/zota...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-103-zt.html

It's pointless to spend more than those two.

Thanks very much.

Far more certified AMD cards:

They tend to do quite well in OpenCL,which is probably why Apple seems to prefer them currently.

However,as a gaming card the GTX1070 will probably a better choice than an RX480 at qHD and 4K though.

GTX 1070 is definitely the card you want.
