Also a note that more than 32G RAM is overkill

this bears out with my personal experience - if you run windows "perfmon"
you will see where your machine may be lacking...
I have never gone over 8G of used RAM, even in 64bit processing canon RAW images (it's much less for my astro cam)
The GPU is practically asleep, where the CPU is going off like a frog in a sock.
Even the HDD aren't all that busy - although i suspect if i invested in a faster CPU with faster RAM that would change.
Hope this helps - and applies to DSS only.
there might be some other stacking software that uses GPU, but i'm lazy and a cheapskate, so DSS is all i can comment on ;-)
GPU acceleration is a big deal - so if some software has it, they usually trumpet that loud and clear
Starttools definitely does - so if you use that..... |
Thank you very much Sharkbite.
