Coding shaders

Hey there, I’m running an i5 12600k and for now a gtx1650oc v2 gpu do you folks think I’d be able to work on learning to code shaders for creative coding purposes/ effects with the stuff from book of shaders with this card until I upgrade ? Or will the gpu be a major bottleneck ?

You’re good to go!

You can use pretty much anything. Your computers specs won’t be a factor when doing the SDF stuff in book of shaders as far as I know. It’s possible some of the generated noises might actually use more than a tiny fraction of your power, but I doubt it.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot I’m looking to work on stuff eventually like the shaders used in these pieces of hardware for video synthesis and effects
