I'm speccing up a new PC and I'm not sure about the GPU. I'm not a gamer but I am an Nvidia fanwrinkli....
Am I right in thinking that GPUcompute is the value I need to look at for AI noise reduction, etc. or do some of the DXs matter too?
If I am right, it looks like the humble RTX 3050 is a very good value buy down at the lower end of the market although it's otherwise no better than my current GTX 1660 Ti.


Comments please.
 
I tried what I thought was the correct procedure to use AI noise reduction in Olympus Workspace and the CPU went to 100% and stayed there for a couple of hours until I got bored and killed the application. I need to take some dedicated shots at higher ISO than I usually use and perhaps even view the tutorial. ;)
I'll probably move my 1660 Ti across for the moment and decide on the GPU at leisure. Thanks for the pointer to Puget.
