Only ran the benchmark once.

My Powercolor 9800 Pro is currently being replaced under warranty, I'll run the benchmark again when it comes back and see if that improves my score. This is bragging rights territory, I wish I had spent the extra money and bought high quality Corsiar ram, the trade off is that I have a healthier bank balance Might do some overclocking as well and see if I can crack the sub 5 minute barrier.

I ran this 2x w/ some confusing results. The first time I had just downloaded the file. I had ATI CCC open, 4 webpages open, still connected to the net, KX Mixer, Anti-virus, and mouse software running and got these results:

Why do you insist on using all these filters in Photoshop benchmarktests? They are totally irrelevant in a Photoshop workflow, no-one ever uses them. Besides, they are often written in bad code that (sometimes) makes the process stall (specially on Apple Computers). Skip all filters next time, please!

A more relevant Photoshop test should involve tasks that you use everday, such us
Opening a file
Convert to 16 bit/channel
Adjust levels
Adjust curves
Creating an adjustment layer + some blending mode
Crop
Rotate
CMYK
Resize
Sharpen/ Unsharp mask (OK, that is a filter)
Save

2nd time I have run the benchmark - see above for 1st go
I'm happy to go under the 5 minute mark

I really do agree with this. However, there are those that do use a good deal of filters for some tasks. I rarely touch filters since I just do photograph touch up. Everything I do in Photoshop now ran just as fast on my older hardware. Personally, I'm interested in seeing this ran on a PB G4 1.67ghz.

Aint there any other benchmarks for photoshop? Dont wanna say, this is a non-real-life bench, though I need something that benches more real life situations....

pr0digal jenius

Am I the only person alive who uses filters or something?

How is this not a real life benchmark? It's an industry standard application using stock settings and out of the box features that are quite taxing on a system.


How much more real life do you want?

So 32bit XP runs Photoshop a little better. Not noticable in real time work environment. The real test will be when Photoshop CS2 comes out with 64bit compatibilty. That's when you will see the 64bit processors shine.
