Read First - How to use this spreadsheet

1) To enter your own data, first make a copy of this spreadsheet through File->Make a Copy

2) The blue cells are information you may want to change. This includes the CPUs you are interested in, the estimate of the system cost (minus CPU and GPU) and your total system budget.

-Limit CPU comparisons to ones that are within the same family. AMD vs Intel or different generations of CPUs will not give accurate comparisons.

-If you wish to ignore a CPU, set the Frequency to "0"

5) From Row 28 on is the estimated time it should take for a CPU and GPU combination to complete generating a 3D model at the highest settings in PhotoScan.

6) If you change the "Budget Min" and "Budget Max" blue cells the configurations that fall within your budget will be highlighted.

7) To find the best performing CPU and GPU combination for your budget, simply find the highlighted cell that has the lowest estimated build time and see what CPU and GPU were used to achieve that time

Agisoft PhotoScan GPU Acceleration

*Agisoft recommends that one core should be disabled in PhotoScan per physical GPU. This spreadsheet automatically takes this into account when determining the best CPU for single, dual, triple, and quad GPU configurations

**All Core turbo will give the most accurate results, base clock is second best
