wogears Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 <p>Hello!<br> Anyone know if I'll see a performance increase on Photoshop from Vista x64 to Win 7 x64? (Athlon quad core 2.2, 8 GB Ram.)<br> Les</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
py-photography Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 <p>I think windows 7 overall is a performance boost, rock solid as well.. However I don't know if you would notice a performance increase with windows 7 and PS...<br> BTW which version of PS?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad_smith8 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 <p>In <a href="http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/2886/windows_7_vs_vista_cpu_memory_performance_comparison/index7.html">benchmarks I've seen it's a wash</a>, and Vista with all its updates is just as stable. There are some usability enhancements, but whether it's worth it is up to your pocketbook.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_howard1 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 <p>I went from Vista x64 to Win7x64, however at the same time I installed Win7 on a SSD - that gave me a huge performance increase. So if you did go down the Win7 route I would recommend getting an SSD at the same time. <br> Actual Photoshop (CS4) performance that is not HD dependent seems about the same between Vista and Win7 however.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wogears Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 <p>I'm talking CS5, but it looks like a wash for now, so maybe I'll save the money until I can get an SSD too.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
