Photoshop ai - more cpu or gpu dependent ?

xxx68

Hello, I would like to upgrade my PC. Lately I am using a lot Photoshop AI features. Is this processing more dependent on cpu or gpu ?

 

Thank you

Content aware fill, which is Ai is really a combination but is slightly more GPU dependent (will run noticeably faster). If you're wondering about the new Ai element (Generative fill), isn't it based off of Adobe Firefly? So it is Cloud-based(might change after its out of "development", in that case I don't think it matters what you have. 

What is your current setup, that should tell you what to upgrade.

Yeah - Also you can just open task manager while doing it and see which part has the highest utilization and assuming it makes sense, that is your potential bottleneck.

What are your current specifications. What isn't working like you want it to? What are your expectations of an upgrade?

Thank for the idea. I did check it and both GPU and CPU is basically sleeping while generative fill. So it really seem that it is cloud based ?  5900x has 6% utilization and my RTX 3080 ti 5%. Just my ram has 80% utilization. I do have 32 GB

Yeah that sounds about right. Photoshop can be a RAM hog at high resolution.

Sort of related question, but my friend is planing to buy a GPU for Photoshop to use the AI features. Can AMD cards, to be mor exact the RX 580 8GB, use the AI features in Photoshop? Like text removal and other stuff.
