For example, some of the features available in newer versions of Photoshop can use the GPU to speed up processing.Ĭorel AfterShot Pro (which I personally use), takes advantage of OpenCL to speed up raw conversion (so a fast GPU can help out).Įven the GIMP has been able to use the GPU for many features for a while now (undocumented switch in the 2.8.x releases but should be fully supported when GIMP 2.10 is released). I don't know much about I4600 and how well it does for programs that need to hit the GPU a bit.ĪFAIK, none of your software will take advantage of a faster GPU. Some make use of basic 2D graphics functions and nothing more, some barely even do that, some make heavy use of the GPU (Premiere Pro is starting to and I believe FastPicViewer does).

Really hard to say it depends so much upon the program. Have any real world comparisons been made by those of you who have this CPU and a GPU installed?

I am guessing that it would be close to the GTX 630 and that a GTX 650Ti/GTX 660 would need to beinstalled to show any real gains, depending on editing software used of course

It has been said that in general the Intel 4600 graphics of the Intel i7 4770K are up to handling photo editing tasks with reasonable speed and that there is no need to install a dedicated graphics card.Ĭan anyone out there provide any information as to the series of Intel GeForce GTX graphics cards that the on-board 4600 graphics compares to?
