Which Video Card?

The idea of a common test image is great! Now everybody should make test runs with that or those images for comparison.
We now need test procedures to follow to be able to compare and document the result. Would someone be the “Master” for this? Is DxO interested?
If successfull, we would get a useful data bank that sure helps users to choose hardware.

I agree with you.

I suggest a person from DxO is starting such a thread. Uploading a RAW file from M43 -APS-C and FF camera. Maybe we should use the default 40 setting with Deep prime , and nothing more.

Good news for a change!
I managed to buy a used GPU type AMD RADEON RX 480 Graphics, 8 GB GDDR5 and replaced my earlier NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760. The increase of export speed with DeepPrime improved from almost 3 minutes to less than 30 seconds (Nikon D850). CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 32 G.
Those GPU:s are sold by miners as they upgrade to more expensive models.

For the large file (gw_20180527-0023.NEF) I get 18 seconds, using a 6 year old mid-range RX470 GPU (the CPU is a 9 year old i7-4770K CPU). I expected comparatively worse results with such ancient hardware.
