PC build advice

Note: doesn’t really matter the exact photo (what’s in the photo itself) - as far as i test it. Camera body (RAW type) and Megapixel count matter. See some results table about that (end of) this thread: Budget GPU for PL

Fuji RAW handled is the fastest in PL! See: Budget GPU for PL

I also did the same test with my SSD. That thing is extremely fast, about 14 GB/s read, and a little bit less write. It now took 3½ minutes, so about 2.2 seconds per image. Increasing the number of images processed at the same time to 4 reduced the time to 3 minutes, or 1.9 seconds per image.

Wowww, its pretty fast!
You use for Noise reduction DP3 or DP3 XD? I guess DP3.

I made some test to compare.
My PC: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (3.6 GHz, 6 core), Ram: 32GB, old (slow) SSD (not nVME) drives. GPU: Intel Arc B570 10GB GPU. PCIe 3. Win 11.

95 photo , Fuji X-T5 (raw’s from dpreview)
NR: DP3, basic adjustment (contrast, exposure, geometry, lens sharpness, etc). Parallel export: 4. From multiple export run, average: 05:10 → 3.26 sec / photo.
1.9 sec vs 3.26 sec → 0.58 (1.71).

I not do very deep performance comparison with you system, GPU approx 40-45% or less vs RX9070, CPU is similar like 40% or less.
I not do very detailed price comparison, in here (Hungary) Intel B570 vs RX9070 is approx 2.3+, CPU around 3.5x.

If you use DP3 (and not DP3 XD), then: Based on that measurements, if you use DP3 (and not DP3 XD) the Choosing a GPU for DxO Photolab: the answer? - #135 by noir.fonce the chart definitely not true, but hard to say where → for the Intel ARC B570 or the RX9070 or both. That chart used XD2xs, etc, so may not easy to interpolae to current PL version

I did another test with the same 95 images. Denoising & demosaicing, Lens sharpness, and Distortion were activated. Export in 16 bit Tiff.

These are the results:

Standard 3’45” - 2 images export = 2.37 seconds / image

Standard 3’12” - 4 images export = 2.02 seconds / image

DeepPRIME 3 - 2’47” - 2 images export = 1.76 seconds / image

DeepPRIME 3 - 1’53” - 4 images export = 1.19 seconds / image

DeepPRIME XD3 - 3’15” - 2 images export = 2.05 seconds / image

DeepPRIME XD3 - 2’45” - 4 images export = 1.74 seconds / image

I did another test with 6 images export (= the maximum) and DeepPRIME 3. It took 1’44”, that is 1.09 seconds / image.
