Using a PCI-e USB riser will not work as It was not designed to be used like that. The site below might help though:

ASIC chips are designed for one task and thats it. There is no way to re-purpose them at all, and thats why you will start to see so many cheap ASIC bitcoin miners starting to flood eBay.

There are USB to PCI-e adapters out there, but you will also need a PSU to power the card, so its not that portable. Also last I checked the price on a complete external GPU setup would be about the same price as building an entire budget desktop build

Does Agisoft work with the following drones.

DJI Inspire 1

DJI Phantom 2

And what do you need to get started? DJI Phantom 2 has got a GoPro Hero 4 camera on it

Wait for the new Titan X, I have a feeling this will be the best card for the money.

I have 1 on order so ill update the benchmark thread once it arrives:

General / Re: lens to Sony nex 5 and Lumix GM1 and GM5

« on: March 16, 2015, 03:18:03 PM »

I have a Sony Alpha a6000, A7R and a A7S, just newer NEX cameras. I use my Zeiss 55mm 99% of the time, link below:

I also have a 24-70mm lens that I have used before. Only problem with this lens, or any lens with a zoom, is keeping it fixed at the same setting the entire shoot.

So two of GTX 580 should outperform one GTX 780 for the same price?

yep

Can we not, as community, all run a test of a single set and publish our times and hardware specs :-)

The same set of data has been ran through all the benchmarks on this entire post, the 50 image building sample set that Agisoft has on the downloads page. I just ran it at two different settings  high/medium and high/high to get a more accurate results.

Ill be running more tests on the overclocked machine later this coming week. Im trying to get it to around 4.4 or 4.5GHs so we will see how things look once its completely finished.

I will say ive been 100% happy with my Dell Workstation PC. Its my 3rd one and they are amazing machines. Warranties are amazing as well. Next business day replacement of parts when needed, even if the motherboard goes out. Cannot beat that.

Here you go, using the benchmark data and my M3800 laptop. Both tests were done with CPU 6/8 and Quadro card activated.

High/Medium (alignment/dense cloud)
Device 1 performance: 69.52 million samples/sec (CPU)
Device 2 performance: 108.952 million samples/sec (Quadro K1100M)
Total performance: 178.472 million samples/sec
Finished processing in 1301.61 sec (exit code 1)

High/High settings (alignment/dense cloud)
Device 1 performance: 67.4911 million samples/sec (CPU)
Device 2 performance: 110.95 million samples/sec (Quadro K1100M)
Total performance: 178.441 million samples/sec
Finished processing in 4112.75 sec (exit code 1)

I have a Dell M3800 that I use every once in a while when the workstation is chugging away and I want to do something small. When I get home I can run the benchmark and upload the results if you like.

Specs are as follows:
Intel i7-4702HQ
Windows 8.1 Pro
16GB DDR3 1333
Crucial M500 960GB SSD
Quadro K1100M 2GB DDR5

Best way to test would be to download the trial and install it on an older laptop and see how long it takes.

This is a possibility, but due to the fact that most embedded setups have no more than 4GB of RAM  and the CPU clock speeds are so low you will be waiting DAYS/WEEKS for your results. As it is with my current setup:

4.5ghz 6-core CPU
128GB RAM
2 x GTX780 GPUs
Samsung PRO 850 SSD

It takes close to a day to build a model with 900 photos.
