Computer Benchmark Tests with Photoshop

jeffreaux2

The following are results from a pc that I just finished building...


Retouch Artist Pro:( at stock cpu speeds)
19.71 seconds

Fred Miranda Test:
With CPU at stock 2.66Ghz clock speed:
8 bit=10.0 seconds
16bit=12.62 seconds
32bit=11.29 seconds

With CPU at 3.6Ghz clock speed:
8 bit= 7.83 seconds
16 bit= 9.62 seconds
32 bit = 8.43 seconds

I am not sure at all why it is faster with 32bit than 16bit tests.

Other info:
Adobe PSCS3
Intel Core i7 920
DDR3-1600- 12 gigabytes total
Vista Ultimate 64bit

Retouch PRO (CS4)
8 bit = 28.22 sec.

16 bit = 34.80 sec.

32 bit = 30.94 sec.

I just tried this..............Retouch Pro

PC Pentium 4 2.66 GHz...........2 min 12 seconds

New Mac Pro 8 core 2.26 GHz..............9 seconds

While not the fastest of the fast..........

Color me very happy..........:D

16bit - 48 seconds

Not screaming... but way faster than the Air.

Just upgraded to 8gig of RAM on this machine

8bit retouch pro, 30seconds
16bit retouch pro, 40 seconds

I've switched laptops recently, to an Apple Macbook Pro 13"

2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8Gb Ram

Retouch Pro: 8bit, 33seconds; 16bit, 45 seconds

Ric Grupe

i7 Core 950 @ 3.07 Ghz. 4 cores 8 logical processors.

12gb ram

Win 7

CS4 64 bit

Retouch Pro:

16 bit image= 6.7 sec.

8 bit image= 5.2 sec.


FM test link was dead.

That beats my times even with a 3.6 GHz overclock on my i7. It demonstrates the difference in speed between CS3 and 4 for sure.

Blazin' eh?

Makes the test...not a test!clap

Closing all open programs and setting your preferences in PS to use the maximum amount of memory available helps a bit. Having 12gb of tri-channel memory doesn't hurt either.

Im running 12 gigs triple channel DDR3 1600 on a i7 920...but still on CS3...a tad less resourceful at utilizing all that RAM....and doesn't really make use of my dual processor video card like CS4 would. Its still plenty quick though...and Lightroom especially is buttery smooth quick....a plus for me since most of my work is done in Lightroom.

For twice as much money the 950 is a little faster than the 920.

For anyone looking, you can still obtain the Fred Miranda test here:

Retouch Pro, 8 bit, 11.06 sec

16 bit, 12.38 sec

PS CS4, 64 bit

i5 (750), 2.66Ghz, 4GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT (PCI Express 2.0 x16), 1 GB

New Macbook Air, 256Gb Storage on Solid State, 4gb Ram, 2.13Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor:

Retouch Pro test, 8bit: 33 seconds
Retouch Pro test, 16bit: 42 seconds

So, with no disk activity, this Macbook Air is actually faster than the 13" Macbook Pro, with faster CPU and more RAM. Makes sense, since the L2 cache is better and the GPU is better, and then add in the SSD to the equation.

I should also add, that Photoshop starts up in about 4seconds flat. Not kidding. RAW files open up at lightning speed, too. Kinda cool.

Retouch Pro done at 16 bit.

9.5 seconds.

AMD 1090T at 3.5 Ghz
4 Gb G.Skill ram DDR3 1333
2 x WD Cav Black 640GB hard drives RAID 0
2 x Nvidia GTX 470 video cards in SLI
Windows 7 Home 64 bit
PS CS5 64 bit

Same as above but went from 4 Gb G.Skill RAM to 16 Gb Corsair DDR3 1333 memory

Same test same time at 9.5 seconds. Guess the increased RAM did not help there...

OK Fresh Out of The Box!

Mac Pro results. Mac Pro, 3.0ghz, 5gb ram. Photoshop CS2 running under Rosetta.

Retouch Pro Test: 20 seconds (8 bit file); 33 seconds (16 bit file)

Replaced that 4 year old Mac Pro with a new Mac Pro (late 2010) 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 12Gb Ram.

Adobe PS CS5

Retouch Pro Test, 8-bit: 9 sec; 16-bit: 12 sec

Pretty darn fast.

Looking good Andy. That must seem awfully fast by comparison, especially the smaller files. thumb

I almost bought 512Gb SSDs for this machine. But I really want at least 1Tb in Bay 1 & 2, raided. So I'm hopeful in <12 months to upgrade to that. Right now the SSD prices are crazy. But I love how fast my Macbook Air is at everything.

Just go the new 2011 Mac Min - 2.5 GHz i5 dual core with stock 4 gigs RAM and 5400rpm drive.
Retouch pro:
8 bit - 19 sec
16 bit - 23 sec

FM photo seems to be missing/broken so can't run that test.
Smoking for a mini!! Going to upgrade RAM to 8 gigs in a few days. Have read that SSD doesn't help LR at all...

There is a new PS Speed Test posted here:
http://clubofone.com/speedtest/

My Mac Mini was done in 24 seconds. Would love to see some comparisons.

Looking forward to posting my results when I receive my new 3.4 Quad Core iMac w/ 16GB of RAM and a 256SSD boot drive

Replaced the mini above with a 2011 iMac 2.7 GHz i5 with 12 gigs RAM
Retouch 8 and 16 - 13.5 seconds
Speedtest from Club of one - 16 seconds

Broken links
The OP has a broken link in his post...making it unusable. Time to retire this sticky. It's 5 years old...

Fred's link doesn't work.

Thanks, Ed

I did the Speed Test from RetouchPro....
- on an 8 bit file: 0.46 Sec. - on a 16 bit file: 0.48 Sec. - on a 32 bit file: 0.50 Sec.

(Intel Core i7 3969X 3.3 GHZ - 32 GB DDR3 1333 MHZ RAM on Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit, CS5)

Just tried this on my newly built system thought I would share the results.

8bit: 6.3 Sec
16bit: 7.1 Sec
32bit: 9.8 Sec

(Intel Core i7 2600k 3.40 GHZ - 16 gb DDR3 Ram on windowns 7 ultimate)

Speed test with an 8 bit file on my MacBook 2 GHz Intel Core Duo running PS CS5: 8 mins 38 secs, :cry

I think it is high time I thought about getting a new computer.

8bit =10.3 seconds
