I am about to switch from a Mac Pro to a custom built PC just for Photoshop. I create extremely large ( 15,000px X 11,000px PSB files) and extremely complex ( 50+ layers full of layer effects, smart objs and adjustment layers) photo composites. A single file can contain dozens and dozens of different photos composited together. The clients are in the gaming/entertainment industry and set these size standards as these are printed large for in store posters, as key art, pack fronts and large format outdoor advertising. The files tend to hover in the 5-10 GB in size range. I want to push Photoshop to its limits.
Being new to the PC world all I can get out of Adobe are the basic recommendations. What is the best graphics card on the market for photoshop? Photoshop can take advantage of a two cores and OpenGL for some effects. But otherwise it's mostly CPU and memory intensive. A suggested, a SSD will give you a noticeable boost in the performance (use it for your scratch disk) If your client requires/uses wide-gamut images (1 billion colours) that will require you to buy a wide gamut monitor and a Fire Pro or Quadro graphics card. Gaming cards do not support wide gamut. FirePro and Quadro support 4k too, as I think you will want this resolution for the files you are working with.
Of course, more RAM is better especially if you are going to run multiple monitors. I highly recommend paying the extra for one of these professional video cards.
I had a Quadro in 3 builds and never had a single crash using them. I can't say the same for the gaming card I use now:/ FYI. Performance wise, there seems to be no difference between the Quadro, the GTX-480, and the cheap Radeon in my computer now.
I'm only running standard gamut. I have a FirePro and I have monitored its usage in photoshop.
Some filters and plugins use it but most don't and are only CPU dependant. But I didn't see a visible difference between a high end or a low end model (but I don't manipulate images as complex as yours). AFAIK it's only when you manipulate 3D objects in Photoshop that you can see a benefit with faster graphic cards. The extra stability of the drivers and wide gamut support are a real advantage though. So my recommandation is to get a Quadro or FirePro, from the latest generation to have the most features, but no need for a high end one. The basic models are enough.
