A very high performance PC for the professional photographer
This system has been designed from the ground up to offer outstanding performance in Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC applications and also perform very well in video editing tasks too. We have taken the already blistering performance of the Professional Photography PC and added more storage and a higher performance graphics card. This configuration helps the computer cope better with some GPU acceleration of effects on enormous image sizes. Little else can be gained regarding raw system performance as the components used in this build represent the pinnacle of current technology.
Connectivity and expandability have been taken to the next level with the inclusion of the Gigabyte Z490 Vision D motherboard. This board offers every possible feature, you won’t find a better motherboard on the market for content creators and editors. The dual Thunderbolt 3 ports offer the highest possible connectivity speeds for interfacing with external SSD storage drives. The built in Wifi is the very best on the market. There are an incredible 18 USB ports on the PC and 4 of them are the highest performance USB 3.2 Gen 2 variety. There are three of the new high-performance M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD slots, the audio is of the highest quality and there are two ethernet network ports built in, one of which operates at up to 2.5Gbit/s.
The processor is the latest 10th generation Core i9 10900K which is the fastest available processor for photography and also for many other applications in Windows 10 making this PC a fantastic all-round system. The 64GB of memory is installed in two modules of 32GB, leaving two further slots free for expansion to 128GB later if required. There is an integrated memory card reader at the front of the system too.
