Please update for 2023. What is the best graphics card for AI Selection or AI Noise Reduction? How much gain is there between AM4 with DDR4 and PCIx3 vs. AM5 with DDR5 and PCIx5?

[@sNIKersnOMAd]

regarding of monitor, what do you think about proart pa32ucr-k? is it suitable for photo editing? or older spec monitor, discontinued product proart pa329c now on sale? both a lot cheaper than benq 321c and 271c. by the way most proart monitor no longer using 1d lut like benq 321c and 271c which is 16 and 14bit, proart now using 3d lut with 14bit for mid to high end monitor. does 3d lut give benefit for photo editing?

Will it work if you have an integrated graphics card?

Hi, I'm super new to PCs, wondering if you could help me out? I'm a photographer by the way (live in uk) , I'm looking at building my own pc from pc specialist, was wondering if you could type me the best parts to get to get for the price tag of 3k. I want it to be as powerful as it can be,biggest hard drive ect for that price tag.

Very good explain video, thank you

[@roykouyoumjian1]

Is the i7 12700 good?

[@mxkqp9743]

Please add timeline thank for your helpful information

[@wemotivate281]

First...thanks for this sir

[@fanatic632]

i9 just for photo editing? Isn't i5 not enough?

[@iggsterify]

i5 12400 is plenty. Lightroom mainly works on a single core, Photoshop can take advantage of up to 8 cores (i5 12600k if efficiency cores count, i7 12th gen if not)
i9 is overkill, RAM is by far the most important for Lightroom, getting an 8GB GPU is the best for Photoshop

@@iggsterify Can you run on an integrated card? I have an i5 8gb ram....
