Photo shop test !!

You guys want to know how well you notebooks will handle photoshop. Well this will give you a good idea. Goodluck and post your results


Using Photoshop CS or CS2 (or PS 7)
============================== ====================

1.) Download the test image from http://xs78.xs.to/pics/06174/test.jpg

2.) Save it to the computer and then open it up in Photoshop

3.) From there please apply a 'radial blur' with the settings at:

Amount = 100
Blur Method = Spin
Quality = Best

Using a stop watch / ps timer see how long it takes to apply this filter

I just want to see what these new cpu's can really do.

Please list your cpu details, amount of ram and the time it took for the test, just so we can get an idea of how the different cpu's handle this task.

* test adapted from a different forum *

Edit: And just to let you guys know, CS2 will run alot faster on dualcore setups because it is coded to make use of dualcores.

I managed to get 45 seconds with Cs2. I had Bit defender, firefox and 3 sony apps running in the background.

 

I was going to run it, but if you click that link, it goes to a GoDaddy page, not a test.jpg

 

Yep, I'll run the test when the image is available.

 

All right... ran it twice.. got it in 49 secs on the first run, 47 on the second

Specs:
- Photoshop CS2
- SZ120 (dual 1.86 core)
- 2 gigs of RAM
- Shut off antivirus and spyware

 

nice ill run it after im done doing my battery drain and recharge..

 

Uh... I dunno what I'm doing differently !

but...

Photoshop CS2

VAIO SZ160P

First test: 14 seconds
Second test: 15 seconds

CoolMonitor, BitDefender and Internet Explorer running...

Amount 100, Spin, Best...

 

Photoshop CS2
Dell D620, Dual core 2 Ghz/ 1 GB six hundred and something megahertz/100 GB 7200 RPM HD/Intel GMA 950

12 seconds

Running in background:
McAffee Security Suite
Virtual drive
Running in a window: Firefox

Would it run faster if that stuff was off?

 

Image Fixed!!!!

Please redo you tests and edit you results Mr ikaris and Mr titainiummd

 

I ran it twice 57s both times.

sz160
2gb ram

 

Photoshop CS2
VAIO SZ160P

First test 47 seconds
Second test 48 seconds

Running BitDefender, CoolMonitor, Internet Explorer

 

Are you guys starting the stop watch as soon as you click 'ok' ?

 

Thats how i've always ran it. But the margin of error is only about 1 second.

 

45 seconds

 

1 minute 40 seconds using my VGN-S560P/B with 1.5GB memory.
stylexp, yzshadow, yzdock, Norton internet security and NHC running in background.
Oh, and I use Photoshop 7.0

 

sz160, 2gb ram.

47seconds with cs2

 

main post updated with my results. BTW i used this guide http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=5787

to optimize my notebook. I skipped the step of disabling services running in the background but everything else i pretty much did.

Also i suspect if we didn't have the unecessary sony apps running, we would shave a second or 2.

 

hmn this test was posted sometime ago under the hardware section or something, its's just basicly testing your cpu

 

And? Are you going to take the test?

 

Interesting... i expected my work computer (Dual Xeon 3.0 gHz, 2 gigs RAM, CS) to do the test much much faster than my 120, i am surprised to see it was only 3 seconds (44) faster with the task

 

xprohx &ikaris, maybe youre on battery or lower cpu settings.

 

Acer 8204: 43 seconds
Sony TX-750: 3min 18 sec

 

I had my cpu on adaptive. I changed it to performance and clocked in at aprox 47s.

sz160
2gb ram
cs2

 

Ouch! on the TX-750. Now do you believe me now? CS2 on a TX is a no go. Especially for raw files.

 

LOL yea, I think i did. But the result wont be much better than any other 1.83 Core Duo. Same goes for any other processor. Core Duo's performed considerably better than the Pentium M's on this test

 

Yeah, i mainly posted this test to educate people on the performance gains you get from having multithreaded apps running on coreduo based notebooks.

Now as you can see, the coreduo not only performs better than any other notebook cpu's, but it performs better than alot of Amd X2 and Intel Pentium D cpus for desktops as well.

I had a Intel Pentium D 940 "Presler" and my best score on stock speeds was 46 sec. My average with that chip was 46 - 48 sec. Now i've redone my desktop to FX-60, and thats overclocked to 3.1Ghz atm and i get 26 sec.

But its funny how my coreduo in my SZ beats my old $500 D 940 "Presler"

 

Hmm, I might have a RAW file sitting around somewhere from my 10D.

The TX is slow, no doubt about it. I will say though, it has phenomenal battery life on the stock battery. With Battery Eater Pro it got 7.5hrs on the "Reader" test with everything turned off and the screen at three bars (4th level per Sony). That's sick...

 

****! that is sick. Thats one thing about the TX battery life its the clear cut best. I just wish it had more power and gpu. But you cant get every you ask for..lol

 

Now I see that the Core Duo has more than just the dual processors. Intel also improved the floating point with something marketed as Digital Media Boost. Hence the improved Photoshop scores.
