What work considers a good computer

[Perillo]

After trying to render 3D text for the last hour, I got annoyed and wanted to share what my work considers good enough to do graphic design and video editing on. They wonder why I saw there’s some things I can’t get done. Figured you’d all get a laugh.

i5-4570

16gb 1600mhz DDR3

GT 710 (which it only has in it because I found it in the one closet and added it)

 

Oh and my screens can only run vga

For graphic design you can use older versions of Photoshop like CS3 - It should work flawlessly and it has most of the features modern PhotoShop has.

when I started my current gig, my company computer was a Lenovo Idea Pad with an 3rd gen Core I5, 4 gb of ram, a HDD and windows 7.

This is a little over 2 years ago... 

I refused to work with that and used my own private laptop, until I got my workstation. 

Well it has been ridden hard the last 2 years due to being chosen as a first VM Host for our Corona Lockdown remote enviroment. 

One SSD is down to below 50% rest life ^^

Time for a new one =P

old photohsop perhaps. or try using light web design

Is the application running off the GPU? Double-check it's running off the GT710 and not onboard graphics. Not that it might make much difference anyway but worth a shot

[manikyath]

if your application of choice isnt GPU accelerated that's honestly fine.

 

i've seen medical imaging being done on worse than that.

Beats being outsourced. Them somebody else can worry about it.Thats where all the work from home will eventually end up.

A good employer invests in his employees. Pretty sure if you ask for an upgrade and can support your claim that you need it, you will get it.

CS3's activation servers have been taken off line by Adobe. Last I knew, CS5 and 6 can still be installed and used but the clock is running out on those as well.
