There is a Quad certified version of this board out, although I haven't seen it at retailers yet. Rumor has it that a new BIOS update will allow this particular board to run Kentsfield too - but I can't confirm.

45 seconds with the second rig in my sig @2500MHz.

Unfortunately these results need to be accompanied by proof to be believed for the most part. Photoshop has a built in timer that you can use, and when I use that timer it's ALWAYS 5-6 seconds higher than when I time it manually. It calculated the time from when you press go, not just from when the scroll bar pops up.

Anyway rig in sig is 21sec by my watch add 6 to it to get Photoshop's timer.

I used the clock in windows and started at 00 seconds when I hit the button and ended when the picture was done....I dont see an issue there....

where is the built in timer?

lets see in CS2 click the little arrow at the bottom of the image and you get a menu go to show and click on timing. It puts a little counter in the bottom left side of the image window. That times everything from how long it takes to load an image to applying a filter. I forget how to zero it out.

The built in timer takes everything into account, redraw time included. See if it makes a difference, it did for me

it appears to change with whatever you do, giving the time of the last action

according to the timer it says 35.3s for rig in sig, my handy hand timer reported 33sec so pretty close

 

[Duvie]

MIne says 13.4sec...So I was pretty much dead on...

I find your time a little bit hard to swallow. From what I've seen, you need four cores to get that kind of score.

I've got a problem.. Seemingly..

Hardware in sig...

Takes over a minute for me ..

I made sure nothing else was running.
My Photoshop is an ' LE ' version..
It looks like only one core is being utilized .
RAM usage only goes up about 50mb with the program running..


Not having any other problems I'm aware of.. Great scores in other benches, etc..


Any ideas ?

Download CS2 and make sure the image and settings match.

I agree that E6600 time is wrong.....My E6600 at only 200mhz slower is off of that by 10sec at least...200mhz is not going to make you that much faster then me...

 

[ty42]

E6400: 83 sec...

but i have old PS 6.01. i guess i should update...

 

[Ibn]

I'll retime it when I get home. That was done with a watch last time. I'll retry with the timer in CS2.

Just as you guys suspected, my timing was off. I tried it with an image from another site for the test hence the timing (was the same image, but different size). I redid with the image from this thread and timed it with the CS2 timer. Came out at 23.8 seconds.

Much better..

24 seconds..

Interesting reading, thought I'd test out my work machine:

Dual Woodcrest 5160 at 3Ghz
4Gb ram with 3Gb switch on 32-bit XP pro
PS 7 (will test with CS2 when I upgrade soonish)

13.77 secs

 

[mudboy]

42 Seconds

Opteron 170 @ 2.1GHz
2GB RAM
Photoshop CS2

Why only 2.1GHz? It should be able to go much higher.

1min 10 seconds on a p4 3.0 northwood


cs2 & vista

 

[protege5demon]

1min 27sec on a p4 2.8 northwood w/ 2 gigs pc3200 (using CS2)

I had it clocked at 3.2ghz, but dropped it back to stock speeds a few weeks ago. I might try the o/c again later.

Is that too slow?

after clean install windows xp I timed at 28 sec not bad what do you think?

that's fine.

 

[bob4432]

what other ps tests would be a good comparison between the two systems?

We will count your 34sec....based on the several pages of examples more ppl are over 31 sec with 2.5ghz X2's and around 33sec for 2.4ghz X2's....

Unless you want to run fresh install everytime you bench it or any other benchmarks...


I ran C2D E6600 at 3.4ghz and get 23.8sec...Not a fresh install and I didn't even bother to turn anything off in the task bar including my F@H clients.

If I remember back about 1 yr ago I tested my X2 4400+ @2.66ghz and it ran it at 29-30 seconds...

when I got X2 4800+ I did not clean install windows xp first place when I tested with PS then people on other forum was telling to do clean install windows xp with new CPU from single core cpu that I did not know.
