"GPU acceleration has become fairly common in Adobe applications,
but only a few select tasks in Photoshop are able to take advantage
of the video card to improve performance. In fact, some features
(like 3D, Render Flame, and Oil Paint) require that you have a
compatible GPU while others (Image Size, Blur Gallery, Smart
Sharpen, etc.) are simply able to utilize a GPU to improve
performance.


Interesting, thanks.

A wider range of low-mid range cards would have been useful. I think I'm
right in saying the AMD Radeon R9 M290X (about equivalent to a 1050?) in
my iMac would be pretty much equal to even the highest end card in all
but image resize.

Well, they were testing Nvidia. You should also note that the
paragraph you snipped contains a link to their benchmark software
which, as they say, is "available for anyone who wants to see how
their existing PC or Mac stacks up against these GPUs". I have marked
the position of the link with * *. You should try it and report back.


Yes, thanks, but I don't have Photoshop - mine was more a 'what if' sort
of musing . . .
