Desktop advice for photo editing (1 Viewer)

[Keith Dickinson]

I currently have a Windows 10 desktop system which is underpowered for the latest upgrade of ON1 PhotoRAW, in view of Windows 10 support ending next year I have decided to move to a Windows 11 system in the next few weeks. I have seen the Geekom mini system which appeals to me as desk space is limited. It boasts 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13900H (14 Cores, 20 Threads, 24MB Cache, up to 5.40 GHz) with 32GB RAM and Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics. ON1 PhotoRAW needs a minimum of 8 cores & 2GHz so it looks okay there, it is the graphics side of things I am unsure about, will the Intel Iris XE graphics be okay when the the recommended set up would be a video card with 8GB of VRAM? The system webpage is HERE.

This is what ON1 recommend in their system requirements:

Windows - DirectX 12, DirectML, Vulkan 1.1, and OpenGL 4.2 compatible video card with 8GB VRAM, 1920x1080 resolution (at 100% scale factor).

Remember that it is inadvisable to just go for the minimum requirements, because a or two down the road software updates may well have stretched them to, or beyond, their limits.

Not a wintel, or indeed ON1, user, so I cannot be of any further help.
