[digiKam-users] PC upgrade: improving digikam performance

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

This will depend where you expect improvements.

GPU optimizations will be used to render HTML in QtWebEngine view, aka
map and web service logins.
GPU is also used in Qt core to speedup rendering of widget on screen.
OpenCV will also use GPU for algorithms.
For the rest it depend. but mostly all algorithm inside digiKam do not
use GPU optimization, because we prefer stability against
performance..

Where you can have gain is with 4K and multiscreen monitors.

Best

Gilles Caulier
