New computer - recommendations? (1 Viewer)

To be honest with you, I am not sure the blurb on the ACDSee homepage is up to date. My statement about discussions about it making a difference if you have 2 or more gb of video ram came from discussions in the user discussion forum. That does not mean that you cannot make the program work with less - but it means that 2 gb does make a difference.

I have no experience (yet) with 4k video - but it will likely be in my future.

Yeah, exactly I'm not certain either. My Thinkstation P300 that came with a 16GB memory, a Nvidia Quadro K4000 (3GB) video adapter, 2 x 256GB SSD drives and upgraded PSU suites me just fine for any of my current video/image editing needs.

It's possible but don't think I would ever actually need a 6GB video adapter to edit image and video files.

Gamers are now using 13GB+ video adapters however expect to pay from around ~$1000.00 to over $1400.00 only for the video adapter, excluding an upgraded PSU, motherboard, CPU, etc.

I know very little about photography and photo editing, however, I’ve got 3 friends who are into photography and use Lightroom etc. They all went to Macs from PC’s. There’s a photo club in town, which they belong to and the majority run Mac’s.

I have an ole MacBook Pro and there really isn’t much of a learning curve to the Mac but I do prefer my PC desktop with SSD hard drive for everyday computer work. Not much help, I know.||
