Yeah, I would expect that a new GPU would give you the most bang for your buck.
If you can upgrade the CPU without upgrading your MOBO, that would give a good boost with less risk of finding out that your new mobo doesn't support some bus that one of your old cards needs, or suchlike. It would be very interesting if you could do some sort of benchmark before and after each upgrade. Have lightroom build a 12 frame HDR pano, and then do a denoise on it. Then do the same thing on the same files, each time you upgrade. I suspect that more memory would make more difference without the GPU, since they often have their own memory. > On Jun 18, 2024, at 1:59 PM, Toine <to...@repiuk.nl> wrote: > > Any major brand is ok (MSI, Asus, Asrock).
