Photoshop V2 Bench
Most people
are tired of running 3dmark and Pcmark and similar
benchmarks, while these are visually attractive
benchmarks they are not in many cases indicative
of real world situations, this is not the case with
Photoshop. This is a real world application with
a myriad of uses appealing to all users from digital
photographers to budding graphic designers. It is
also a wonderful test of all round system performance,
specifically memory bandwidth and CPU processing
power. Massive files are also a good test of hard
drive access performance as Photoshop will rely
heavily for its "paging file".

Running the
Photoshop test for the first time was an interesting
experience, at first we were very aware that the
performance was pretty equal between the two sets
of memory. This almost never happens and it would
appear that for the majority of Photoshop use the
lower timings of the OCZ memory cancel out the higher
frequency of the Corsair sticks.
There are
a few tests in here that do benefit from the Corsair
modules though and they give the system an overall
advantage of just over 1.5 seconds.
