Mac 2019 16” 2,4ghz 8-core intel core i9 32gb of ran running slow

Matthew Miziolek
I have been told and read that capture 20 uses the GPU of my computer more than the CPU. On my latest computer I have opted to get the AMD RADEON Pro 5600 8 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536MB, which is as powerful as you can get for a mac. I originally purchased the Mac with the less powerful graphics card. I notice no difference in the speed or performance of the more powerful graphics card. And when I check in activity monitor Capture 20 is not even using the high performance graphics card. I have it set to be the dedicated graphics card in energy saver. Why is there no difference if capture 20 primarily uses the GPU. What is going on?

    Capture One uses the GPU for some tasks, not others. It doesn't "primarily use" the dedicated GPU for everything. Also, for cores: it sometimes uses all fairly fully, sometimes not. I've seen good GPU utilization on my MBPs for some ops and not others. You might install something like iStat Menus (shareware) and have it display the cores and GPU graphs in your menu bar, which I find usually more useful than Activity Monitor because it takes up no screen space and is easy to watch while I work.

    The main tasks that I know where Capture One uses the graphic card is:

    1) for processings needing full resolution (i.e. the RAW) such as local adjustments (masks and layers), or noise reduction (where you need a 100% image). Otherwise, most of the adjustments are done on the previews.

    2) for the export.
