| 1283749 | 2012-06-25 22:48:00 | It has an Nvidia GeForce 7950GT at the moment but I'm debating throwing that in my new build. I don't do any gaming on it, the most graphically intensive I get is Photoshop. If you are using photoshop then you need to ditch the 7950GT and go for GeForce 8800GT or above as these support CUDA and used by Photoshop |

| 1283750 | 2012-06-26 05:36:00 | Tmrafi, If that was neccesary then i dont think AMD would have banners on their website advertising some deal with photoshop as amd cards obviously dont have CUDA and with photoshop you really dont need a powerfull gpu at all, in most cases just intel integrated gpu will be fine. Also CS5 does not nativly support CUDA however some plugins do. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||

CS6 supports OpenCL which both nVidia and AMD Cards support. |

| 1283752 | 2012-06-27 07:18:00 | But you don't *need* it. Good luck finding a 8800GT today. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1283753 | 2012-06-27 12:36:00 | Yeah and the 8800GT's specs for CUDA are probably not worth the money. If my schools crappy dell mini computers can run photoshop CS5 fine then I think he should be alright. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1283754 | 2012-06-27 22:10:00 | Hi all Finally upgrading the old girl. Will then retire my old PC out to a loving home but wondering where to pitch the price. Specs; Core 2 Duo E8400 Gigabyte GA-EG43M-S2H mobo 4GB DDR2 800 Asus DVD-RW 5 x Hard Drives - 80GB, 160GB, 250GB, 500GB and 1TB (may split these up and keep a couple for external back up drives) Coolermaster CM690 case Silverstone ST50EF-Plus 500W PSU Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit (don't laugh - I never had any problems with Vista!) All original manuals, discs etc included. Where would you pitch it price wise? Replacing with; i5 3570k 8GB DDR3 1600 Asus P8Z77-V LK mobo LiteOn iHBS212 Blu-ray writer Crucial m4 128GB Solid State Drive 2 x 2TB Western Digital SATA Drive Coolermaster CM690 II Advanced case Enermax 750W PSU Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Can't wait to build it up and have a play! Thanks all. You are getting an overclocking chip to use with a Mobo that uses onboard video, please tell me you have a discreet GPU to add to that, otherwise, give yourself an uppercut to the jaw! |

| 1283755 | 2012-06-28 09:25:00 | A discrete GPU will be a future upgrade - can't really justify it at the moment with the amount I have spent getting the new gear as it is and right now don't need the GPU for my current use - BUT - I plan on getting myself a nice GPU as soon as the bank account climbs a little bit so I can get back into some gaming at some stage. Was considering throwing the 7950GT in there in the meantime but I think I may sell that with the old girl and run the onboard video for a while. Have the new PC up and running - just got to get it just right software wise and transfer all my stuff from the old girl to the new girl then will see what I can get for the old build. |
