Dili kailangan ug GPU ang Photoshop. Pag-search sad nako, di sad kailangan sa Lightroom. I think ok nah ka! Ang load ana is naa man sad sa CPU and RAM.

sorry boss, but i beg to differ.



photoshop preference performance:

you can set the Memory | Scratch Disk and GPU SETTINGS.

and the History States < undo level > to 1000 from default 20

and cache level to 8

try it and see | feel the difference.

update:

done building and installing needed apps.

Rig:
Board: ASUS b85m Gamer (change from the supposed gigabyte) 4200
CPU: I5 4460 (HD4600 Graphics) 9k
Mem: 2x4g (stock from last rig)
PSU: 500W Silverstone 2.8k

Observation: Way better than my last rig. Thought of testing it first before buying a vcard but i noticed that it served already the purpose. Beginner to Intermediate use of LRoom and PShop6. I may buy a vcard but not that soon. No games installed. May consider but ill stick with my xbox

thanks for the help istoryans!
