Ever since the arrival of X99 motherboards, almost every message board has been dominated by "Can my AMD do that too?" Q&A's. Brace yourselves, this is another of those questions:
I have been, for some time, tempted to give AMD a chance to win my paycheck and build an experimental Photoshop/Adobe rig for work. Here are the planned components:
-- ASRock Fatal1ty 990fx Am3+
-- AMD FX-9590 Black 8-core 4.7ghz
-- Nvidia Kepler K4000 3gb
-- 32GB of DDR4 Ram(?)
My question is primarily if the above configuration will be effective or even possible? I have seen elsewhere on the site similar application, and am looking for possibly an explanation from an AMD gamer here in the community.
My budget has been to stay around $1600, but I know Xeon is the best as far as Adobe. I can run the AMD 9590 processor quad-channel at 1600mhz RAM speed and still exceed the 5200mhz bus speed of the CPU (theoretically): and that's a lot of power. It may be good to note that I am a student in Industrial Design (Solidworks, Adobe Light room, etc) and will not venture much into the realm of video editing beyond MS-McFilm.
