I just wanted to mention, that not every program knows how to use the GPU
- many modern programs can (e.g. the Huygens version on my Hyvolution
machine (note that it's a separate license for the capability to use CUDA),
ImageJ usually can't - but there are plugins designed for GPUs.)
I also advocate for self-building high-end stuff.
