I work primarily in LR 6.14 and PS. I generally shoot RAW with a D750. I'm looking for recommendations for a graphics card. Most of the photography/GPU Google searches haven't been a lot of help.
I'm retired on a fixed income, so budget is a consideration.
Most of the higher end cards do nothing for either Photoshop or Lightroom, unless you are looking at video processing. A very modest GTX -1060 with 3 gb for $150 is all you will need, unless you are running multiple 5K displays, in which case you will need more memory.
I would spend a little time on this site, which does some serious testing and benchmarking of all computer components for Photoshop and Lightroom.
