<div dir="ltr">I built a new desktop PC under linux at the end of summer. I choose :<div>- fx 8320 + gigabyte motherboard</div><div>- 16Gb RAM</div><div>- Nvidia GT 630 with 4Gb video RAM</div><div>- gentoo with last versions of Gcc, digikam, rawtherapee, hugin, gimp.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Well, i'm very happy with this config. With digikam, i'm not able to use 100% of this cpu. I'm using rawtherapee for raw conversion and rawtherapee uses 100% of the cpu (high multithreaded). Hugin uses all the cores and the gpu (cudas). Even when compiling lots of programs, i'm not able to uses 100% of the cores all the time !!! I need a better HD.</div>
<div>I read somewhere on the rawtherapee forum that using GPU demands a lot of video RAM. That's why i choose a 4Gb Ram video card.</div><div>I think only face recognition on digikam uses gpu. But for this, you need to install the last version of opencl and libkface. I would be very happy if cimg and some filters like local contrast and sharpening were ported on gpu ;-)</div>
<div><br></div><div>You need to install latest versions of the main programs and libs to be able to maximize the power of i7 or fx-8320... That's why i chose gentoo (not the easiest distro, but the most optimized).</div>

but I think that for digikam, the hard drive speed may be more important<br>
