And it wouldn't be that surprising considering how images are rendered in GPU. Now, if the people developping Darktable say in their forums or website that their program will use the double core count, that is, the 8 cores/16 threads a Ryzen 7 has, then it would be worth it. While it's nothing to sneeze at, that a mere 5 to 15% increase in performance so it may improve things a little bit. If Darktable indeed uses more single threaded performance, then a Ryzen 7 would only give you at best 3,7 to 4,3 GHz. A RyG is a 4 cores CPU, clocked between 3,5 and 3,7 GHz. If Wikipedia is right about it, I'm not sure you would gain much by upgrading your CPU. Would I see a significant difference upgrading to a Ryzen 7 CPU and buying a dedicated graphics card? The article in the link above also claims that CPU is the single most important factor in image editing and that image editing software "takes much greater advantage of increased single-threaded performance than increased multi-threaded performance, especially beyond four cores." I thought it might be that I'm using the integrated graphics of the Ryzen 3, but the following article claims that I won't see much of an improvement by upgrading to a high-powered graphics card. Graphics: I'm using the CPU's built-in graphics. DOES DARKTABLE FOR WINDOWS 10 USE MULTIPLE CORES UPGRADEMy question is, what hardware do I need to upgrade to speed up image editing in Darktable? For some reason, I thought that zooming/scrolling would be nearly instantaneous. When I zoom in and/or scroll on a Fujifilm RAW file, I get the "Working" displayed for a few seconds. Finally getting around to setting up my desktop computer and I'm finding it to be slower than I thought it would be while using Darktable.
