I had visited this site before based on your recommendation and found it very interesting, thank you.
The reports and advice are specific to Adobe products, widely used of course, personally I am a Capture One user. Are you, or others, aware if the advice is transferrable,obviously it will be generally, but more specifically on GPU and Core use?
I would ask them direct but it seems disingenuous as being UK based I will not be purchasing from them.
The advice from similar UK vendors is slanted to video processing and not still, no doubt the size of the C1 Uk market is not sufficient to warrant specific testing.
