Is CS3 faster on a PC?

Postby Antsl on Tue Jul 10, 2007 7:28 pm

Hi all,
Just a quick question... is anyone using CS3 on a PC and is it noticeably faster than CS2?
Cheers, Ants

I didn't notice any difference. No scientific testing done however to quantify. :?

Not on a PC but the difference between opening CS2 (45secs) and CS3 (4secs) is dramatic :wink:

Is that with the exact same plugins in both versions?

That would be a rather hard sort of thing to qualify. You'd need an identical spec Intel Mac and Intel PC to test this with for accuracy.

Chris,

Do you have an Intel Mac? If you do, it would certainly go much faster as CS3 is a Universal application while CS2 wasn't so it had to go through Rosetta which slowed it down.

From an Intel Mac perspective, it is a big difference. But that's nothing to do with the original question.

Cheers,

André

+1 to CS3 faster than CS2.
I find it loads a heck of a lot quicker and editing in 16bit is faster.

A little off topic, does the now bottom spec 3Ghz CPUs run photoshop significantly slower than the top of the spec ones now?

Provided having equal RAM of course.

I have also found this to be true, was originally using CS2 but upgraded to CS3 and noticed a significant increase in speed, both loading times and processing...
