i read recently that some of the Spyders were no longer getting supported...not sure if this is one of the models.

Lately friggen GPUs can cost more than the CPU. I'd go with the i7 instead of the i9. It is almost as fast as the i9 with LR and PS (which are basically single core processing). You save a lot of ...

Puget Systems has stated they hope to include Denoise as part of their Lightroom Benchmark test before the end of the year

Intel Support on their support forum is very attentive. A rep will attend to your issue. Whether it gets resolved promptly is another matter.

Newer features in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are starting to use the GPU more than in the past. I know video games starting this trend and for 3D games I understand why it is better to use the ...

I bet the display you will use also is important. On my previous desktop I was able to get by using the CPU integrated graphics up until I added a 2nd 1440p monitor. Then it was insufficient and I ...

I almost choked on my beef sandwich when I read this...oh the sad irony.

Heroin?! Uh, maybe sugar is the more accurate analogy

freshmen with weed aren't too crazy...freshmen with alcohol? that's where the crazy begins

I assume this will provide little benefit for me as Adobe LR & PS seem to be single core programs.

Just finished a new build and installed Windows 10 on it. I was contemplating installing Windows 11 because I have heard that it runs the DDR5 better and perhaps the 13th Gen Intel's architecture ...

True...it seemed every time I visited this forum I ended up spending a few hundred dollars on newegg or Amazon :-)

dpreview closing was definitely a gut punch....I've used this site to learn so much about my cameras and building this PC. This forum is the best. Most of the other tech site forums give you ...

newegg (Canada) has a $60 off promo for the 20 TB WD Red Pro which puts it slightly more expensive than the Seagate version. I bought that. Have been faithful to WD since I lost an old Maxtor HDD ...

Thanks as always for you help! Not sure where I'll get such wonderful help from you and others when I build a new rig in 10 years.:-P Looks like there is a large capacity NAS drive in my immediate ...

thanks for the kind words...yeah 8 TB is not enough for me, I am embarrassingly terrible at culling my files mainly because LR is not too snappy in the Library mode on my current Gen.3 i7 3770K ...

Upon which drive does your LR catalogue reside? or do you use ACR?
