Macs Rule!

Got to try this on my little MacBook...

Darryn · 12 Feb 2008 at 22:35

CS3 - Macpro 2x Quad 2.8ghz, 2gb 800mhz FBdimm, 8800GT 512mb GFX

6.1 seconds

This is 1hour after getting the machine up and running and all ive got installed and running is PSCS3, so no tweaks or cache has been touched from installed defaults.

I have been waiting for you to try this for age. I knew you would win. 6.1 is the new top!

What spec is that?

Q6600 @ 3.1ghz, 4GB DDR933, 8800GT

I think it's mainly down to the fact that CS3 is able to use your GFX card to offload some processing time too!

Darryn · 16 Mar 2008 at 12:45

Added another 8GB of Ram to give me a grand total of 10gb FBDimm 800mhz and it hasnt changed my times in the slightest, 6.1seconds.

Just a damn shame there is no way to overclock the Macpro.

mrk · 16 Mar 2008 at 13:03

10GB ram, crazy !

Nobody will need more than 512KB of ram!

13 secs for me running CS2.

Spec as per the top PC in my sig running XP Pro.

Still seems too low,

I have a q6600 at 3.2ghz 4gb ddr800 and 8800gts and it was just under 10 secs.

I know this is a rough and ready test but still feels a bit low.

sid

edit/ i just did it again and got 9seconds on a freshly formatted build

mrk · 16 Mar 2008 at 14:27

What seems too low ?

insane200 · 16 Mar 2008 at 15:59

vista32 cs2, intel celeron m (laptop), ati onboard gfx ,2gig ram.

the time, as in 7 secs seems abit fast when people with 3.6ghz are getting barely 9secs

mrk · 16 Mar 2008 at 17:19

Well like I said, CS3 is a few secs faster than CS2 for me and I'm on Vista SP1 with DDR2 1000 @ 933 and a fully clean maintained system

Fair enough, seems odd that the guy at the top with 3.6ghz only managed 9.7secs but even mine was faster so probs something wrong with his pc.

No probs mate, I know it's not easy to say "OMG WALLHAX!"

so I have recorded a video for you! please excuse the few ms difference - my reaction times are slightly reduced handling a dv camera in one hand and making sure the lens is pointed at the right part of the screen!

I get 10seconds in CS2 btw and that was with my CPU at 2.5ghz!

I feel ashamed.
