Recommended PC to handle Capture One
Aloha everyone, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a PC combination that handles Capture One really well. I'm currently running a 3 year old Dell XPS 8700 with an i7, SSD, 32GB RAM and 27" 4K display. Capture One definitely does work with this PC, but just still seems to lag compared to Lightroom for example. Open CL is turned on and it is working, but I do suspect that perhaps my graphics card is not up to the task with my 4K display and Capture One combo. It's an NVidea GeForce GTX, although I don't recall the model. Thanks in advance 😊

Not sure there is a good answer to your question. I have a system similar to yours, but with less (12gb) memory and C1 is quite speedy. Lightroom however is a dog performance wise. It seems that equipment specifications are not always a good predictor of how these applications will perform. 0 -

I agree with this. I run C1 pro on an AMD FX-8350 system and it runs well enough that I never find myself waiting for it or getting frustrated with it. I was going to suggest that maybe it runs well because my system has 32gb of ram but the OPs does as well. And my camera is a fuji so no opencl at all for me.
My catalog is relatively large, with just under 100K images in it.
LR CC is actually unusable on my machine. After ten minutes of so of working in it, the UI starts to hitch and lag so badly that I can't accurately move control points, sliders, curves, etc.
My raw archive lives on an internal set 7200 rpm drives that are part of a storage space and use ReFS. I used to use a simple mirrored array with ntfs but the storage space is actually quite a bit faster and offers better data protection as well.
I'm just sort of thinking out loud to see if anything will help the OP.
I do keep my catalog on an SSD that is separate from the drive the OS and application are installed on.0 -
There is no simple answer to your question, sadly.
The short answer is "go for a fast gaming PC", and it will usually be good for Capture One.
The little longer answer is to get:
- As many CPU cores possible in a modern CPU
- fast SSD or M.2 drive
- Fast GPU and preferably more than 1 card (should be identical cards for max performance). Don't buy workstation GPU's for CO. Way too expensive for the performence offered
- 16 gb of ram, but preferably more, if you multitask with PS, AE, or other ram-hungry apps.0 -
Thanks for the input everyone 😊 Maybe I'll look into updating the graphics card and see if that's my issue. I had to find a bunch of updates for it for it to even work with Open CL in Capture One in the first place. 0 -
I would like to use two sticks of 16 GB each because I believe the system will support a higher clock speed. Often, thou, I see higher capacity sticks have greater latency than lower capacity sticks...
8GB x 4 might be 16-16-16
16GB x 2 might be 17-19-19
The system with 2 sticks might run faster clock with greater latency so would the 4 stick kit that might run lower clock with decreased latency be preferable ?
* I have read that Ryzen will support different clocks for either single rank or dual rank or two or four DIMM. I understand this is different from motherboard support but imagine the same relative difference will exist even at greater clock speed supported by motherboard..0 -
Also, what camera are you using? Because OpenCL is not currently supported in C1 on some camera/sensor like Fuji X-trans for example, while Lightroom does support it. 0 -
I'm running a gaming laptop with i7, SSD, 16GB DDR4 and Nvidia GTX970M and both C1 and LR run very fast. However, I am aware that LR slows down with more photos in catalog, and most of my stuff is in C1. 0 -
I recently tested an i7 6900k (8 cores and 16 threads)3,2ghz (stock) with capture one pro 10 and an ssd samsung 850 evo sata.
Only using the proccessor i exported to tiff 16 bit (aprox 206mb) 30 nefs from d800 in 69 seconds.
Using my i7 920 with 2 r9 280x takes 55s. only cpu without hyperthreading in my computer takes 363 seconds.
i also noticed almost the same lag when zoomig to 100% in a non sequential image selected.
Im quite happy with my processing power. Using 18 gbs of ram. I usually hit the 16 gb mark (between 2gb a 8-9 gb of ram using capture one only)0 -

With your hardware, you might benefit from a faster CPU. The CPU very likely can't load the raw files fast enough for those 2 gpu's.0 -
I read that Intel have introduced an i9 CPU .... 0
