LR & PS improvement from gpu

[emiliozv]

Hello, does anyone know if a more modern GPU would make my experience improve in Ligthroom and Photoshop (only photo edit, not video).

Since I've updated my monitor (from 1920x1200 to 4k) it`s dropped in performance noticeable in Lightroom. Thanks in advance!

 

windows 10 64bit

gtx 660 2gb ddr5

i7 3770 (non k)

16 gb ram ddr3 1666

ssd + 2xhdd in raid 0

4k monitor

If you go for a gtx 970 - I'm sure you'll see better results, the CPU seems fine and it is highly likely the GPU is the bottleneck in this situation, the GTX 660 just doesnt have enough power to run a 4k monitor, so a GTX 970/980 should do the trick for you!
