NVIDIA Creator Ready drivers – are they faster in Premiere Pro and Photoshop?
Recently, NVIDIA has announced their new “Creator Ready Driver program” which is intended to give the best performance and reliability when working with creative applications. But is the new Creator Ready driver actually faster in Premiere Pro and Photoshop?
Puget Systems at NAB 2019
In 2019, our continued goal is to get out there where our customers are to learn more about them, learn more about their workflow. What better place than the National Association of Broadcasters? NAB is the ultimate event for media, entertainment and technology professionals looking for new and innovative ways to create, manage, and deliver on any platform.
School of Motion teams up with Puget Systems
In this video, School of Motion teamed up with Puget Systems and Adobe to develop the ultimate After Effects computer. School of Motion wanted to tackle this subject, but instead of simply figuring out a way to make After Effects run faster the team pondered a far more interesting question, can we build the worlds fastest After Effects computer?
After Effects CC 2019: AMD Radeon VII 16GB Performance
While After Effects is starting to utilize the GPU more and more, it currently is almost always limited by the performance of your CPU. So while AMD’s Radeon VII is an extremely robust card with twice the VRAM as a comparably priced NVIDIA GeForce card, will Ae actually be able to take advantage of its power?
Photoshop CC 2019: AMD Radeon VII 16GB Performance
AMD’s Radeon VII is an extremely robust card on paper, having twice the VRAM as a comparably priced NVIDIA GeForce card. However, while 16GB of video memory is nice, it is rarely required for Photoshop. Does the Radeon VII have a performance advantage in Photoshop as well, or is going with NVIDIA still a better option?
Lightroom Classic CC 2019: Enhanced Details GPU Performance
In the latest version of Lightroom Classic CC (8.2), Adobe has added a new featured called “Enhanced Details” which uses machine learning to improve the quality of the debayering process for RAW images. This is very GPU-intensive, so we wanted to see exactly how much faster it can be on a modern, high-end GPU.
Why cant my new workstation edit H.264 media smoothly?
While H.264 is one of the most common codecs to encounter, even the most powerful workstations sometimes struggle with it. What is it about H.264 that makes it such a pain to work with, and what can you do to make it better?
Adobe Creative Cloud: Intel Core i9 9990XE vs Xeon W-3175X
Intel has recently released a pair of highly exclusive – and expensive – processors: the Core i9 9990XE and Xeon W-3175X. The question is: does either one make sense to use for Adobe Creative Cloud applications?
CPU Rendering: Intel Core i9 9990XE vs Xeon W-3175X
Intel recently released a pair of rather odd high-end processors: the 14-core Core i9 9990XE and the 28-core Xeon W-3175X. Both have higher clock speeds than other models with similar core count, run much hotter, and have other peculiarities. Because of that, neither of these processors will have a home in our product line at this time – but they are still interesting to test for insight into what current CPU designs are capable of when pushed beyond what is practical.
NVIDIA RTX Graphics Card Cooling Issues
With the RTX series of GPUs, NVIDIA has moved to using dual fans as the standard cooling layout on their GeForce and Titan video cards. This is a big change from past generations and has even bigger implications for using NVIDIA graphics cards in multi-GPU workstations. Let’s look at what changed, what it impacts, and what can be done to work around it.
