Hello all,
I'm planning out a new workstation for Photoshop and 3dsmax. But before I pull the trigger on a build, I was hoping to get a bit more clarification regarding GPU compatibility and performance with Photoshop.
I'm stuck on choosing a GPU that will be reliable and is certified by adobe. I'd also prefer a GPU that can handle larger images with out performance lag. I've read that a higher memory-bit interface is recommended (256 bit) for larger, layered images. However I'm not sure if it's necessary to commit to a workstation grade card or if one can use a gaming grade card.
The current list that I've found online regarding approved Adobe gpu's hasn't been updated in sometime.

And some of my research has uncovered that more current and affordable gaming GPU's are problematic with PS. GPU's such as the Geforce GTX 900 series. Adobe has verified the AMD R9 series but people still seem to experience performance issues. Is this an unfortunate reality to all GPU performance in PS?
I'd like to find out if adobe is testing these cards so that they may become verified as compatible in the future or do I need to go with workstation grade/ priced cards to be on the safe side.
Planned build:
Fractal Design Define R5 Mid Tower Case, Black
Intel Core™ i7-5820K Processor, 3.3GHz w/ 15MB Cache
Asus X99-A/USB 3.1 w/ DDR4 2133, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit LAN, 3-Way and Quad CrossFireX / SLI
Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR4 2133MHz CL14 Dual Channel Kit (2 x 8GB), Black
Samsung 850 EVO Series Solid State Drive, 250GB
WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Drive, SATA III w/ 64MB Cache
LG GH24NSC0 SuperMulti 24x DVD Writer, SATA, Black
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 Modular 650W Power Supply
If anyone can please offer some advice or insight, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Mick
