Benchmark Photoshop Speed Test, V3 for really fast computers!

Ha, looks like I'm the only person on this forum who opted for an i5 processor! I saw that the photoshop performance was almost exactly the same as the i7, but it cost less. So I'm happy with my result.

That's because Photoshop can't do hyperthreading. You want fast, you should try Aperture or Pixelmator.

For the people who OC their CPU. How stable is it? Do you shut off your computer when you are not using it? I normally do not turn my computer off. I just leave it on 24/7 365.

Had my i920 OC'd to 3.6 for months now - on like yours, almost always.

I did have an issue with RAM voltages to begin with - my RAM said it couldn't take any more than 1.65V but my bios would only let me OC in multiples of 0.02 - So I tried 1.66V and had two occasions over a couple of months when the OS failed to load, so I dropped down to 1.64V and now it's been absolutely great for months.

Interestingly using the stock cooler, I noticed next to no increase in idle or load temps before and after OCing. I use a cooler master case set on the lowest fan settings.

So just make sure you don't over power the RAM, keep half an eye on temps, and you'll be fine.

178.2 seconds with the following setup:

Windows 7 64 bit
i7 920 @ 3.8 GHz
6 GB RAM
Intel SSD as primary drive and PS swap drive

@StudioBin: my overclocked setup is stable running Prime95 for 24+ hours; however, I put my system to sleep when not using it to save energy.

FWIW, I get 240.3 seconds when running my i7 at the stock 2.66 GHz.

Hey Osman, what SSD are you using with your set-up? Looks like your getting a 10% advantage over my 3.6 OC with 7.5K HD's. I'll be making a move over to SSD's for the Boot and swap drives soon. Cheers, Rod

osmaneralp.. thx for the info. I am on the fence on a custom PC or going iMac for the small form factor. On one hand I will have better hardware specs., on the other the form factor of the iMac is quite nice.

Do I win?

Just gave it a try!

Everything as its stock speed

i7 930 (2.80)
6Gb G.Skill DDR3 12800
ASUS P6X58D-E & ATi 5770 GDDR5
Win7 64bit & CS5 64 bit

and the score was 223.7!

I don't know should I be happy or what!?

Well, I'm not doing so bad with my lowly quad core. It was well worth the upgrade

W7-64 and CS4-64
core 2 quad q9400 @ 3.4ghz (overclocked from 2.66)
Asus P5E-VM-HDMI
8GB DDR2 at 850mhz and 5-5-5-15 timings
500GB caviar green
ATI 5570 1GB

226.2 seconds

Not too bad for a 3 year old computer that was recently upgraded. I bet a hard drive upgrade would help even more.

running on my Quad Core Q8400 @ 2.96GHz

276.7 Sec, a 43.2 second improvement for a small outlay after selling my Dual Core CPU

I found this test really useful. I did it on my old pc and it was rubbish, but just built my new PC and got 159.8secs

Just upgraded my PC:

W7 64bit Evaluation Copy: 7100

i7 920 OC'd to 3.4Ghz on stock cooler
6GB Patriot DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
Asus P6T Deluxe V2 Motherboard
1TB 7.2K 32MB WD Caviar Black HDD
Corsair 650W TX PSU
1x Nvidia GTX260 GPU
Coolermaster Sniper Case
CS3 Extended (I think it would be significantly quicker in CS4 sine this would utilise the GPU better)

234 seconds flat. (Sure beats the hell out of my old Core 2 Duo system!)

I got similar results (and a similar setup as yours)
229.8 seconds here

i7 920 at 2.6ghz
6gb ram
1tb samsung hd
1gb video radeon 4850
Win7-64
CS4-64
coolermaster HAF922 case

> compatible from PS7 up to CS4

Wish they had come up with a synthetic PS benchmark instead, so PS doesn't have to be installed

New macbook air 1.8gz 4gb ram SSD and I got 373
Ill run my i7 in the morning
