G5 dual 2.0 or 2.3  for Photoshop?

hi
i am not sure about the graphics card of the latest G5 2.0
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 LE
compared to the G5 2.3 with a NVIDIA GeForce 6600
is there really a big difference if i only work with Photoshop heavily?
i plan to buy 4,5GB RAM at least, as i deal with huge images sizes,
so the only decision left is, if i choose the g5 2.0 or g5 2.3 from the refurbish shop. the quad would be too noisy for working the whole day with in a quiet room and ambience.
what about choosing the G5 2.0 with the NVIDIA GeForce 6600 LE
with 256 instead of 128MB RAM, would these extra 128MB VRAM be that much difference for Photoshop?
thanks

Dear purepeter,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There has been some major noticeable changes in regards to video processing between dual 2.3 GHz and 2.0 GHz ( dual core) new G5 .
Firstly to start with the 2.3 uses AGP 8x which is bus based and the 2GHz uses PCI express point to point serial path (a new jump)
AGP 8x clock speed is 66MHz with transfer rates upto 2133MB/s where as PCI Express 16x transfer rate up to 4000MB/s.
2.3 GHz is a dual processor with L2 cache ratio 512 (1:1) where as 2 GHz single dual core (an advantage in hardware respect to bus ) is 1MB per core--->means much much faster and intelligent management in multithreading and processing.
The RAM on 2.3 GHz is SDRAM (184-pin)PC3200 - DDR400 and in 2 GHz is SDRAM (240-pin)PC2-4200 - DDR2-533---> so is a faster clocked RAM. Again gain in the processing.
2.3 GHz has a ATI Radeon 9600 and 2.0 GHz dual core has NVIDIA GeForce 6600 LE is a high end performing card Memory Size 128 MB,GPU Speed 300 MHz ,RAMDAC Speed 400 MHz.
Additional RAM will definitely be an additional gain when dealing with high end/heavier graphics also will be fun for gaming.
There are certain Hardware limits to additional RAM for the unit. 4.5 GB RAM is far good RAM. But just increasing that RAM always does not increase the over all performance of the unit because there are other barriers and constrains.
I think you have the answers after comparisons
Hope this helps.
Good Day!

  • Which Dual AMD FirePro option for Photoshop CC?

    I was wondering which of the Dual AMD FirePro option for the new Mac Pro is best for Photoshop CC. I mainly do retouching (so no video editing nor 3D rendering in Photoshop). Basically Adobe is adding GPU-accelerated features with every release. The most important ones are the following: Liquify, Warp and Puppet Warp, Field Blur, Iris Blur, Tilt-Shift and Adaptive Wide Angle Filter
    Regarding the Dual AMD FirePro options for the new Mac Pro does it make sense to upgrade the standard D300 to the D500 (or even the D700)? I guess for 3D animations, Premiere Pro or Mari (3D paint tool) it would definitely make sense but for PS CC I can't imagine a real performance gain as the D300 is already very powerful with a dual GPU and 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM each.
    Any thoughts on to what extent Photoshop would benefit from upgrading the D300 to the D500?

    Check out MacRumors where they are speculating madly :-)
    Already been seen that more than 2GB helps and why folks are using 2.5 to 4GB cards already.
    All depends on getting good compiles generating OpenCL and learning to leverage it.
    I think MPG site would be perfect from  both computer insight and from a heavy CS/CC user like Lloyd.
    The 6-core gives the best in MHz and turbo boost for you.
    I thought macperformanceguide said it all. You read it??
    GPUs: 
    Based on past testing, I felt there was no value in paying for the D700 GPUs with 6GB memory each. If the dual D500 GPUs don’t provide a massive speedup over the prior Mac Pro 5870 video card, then something is seriously wrong. Or they are just not used, which is usually the case. And they are OpenCL, which is not necessarily supported by much software.
    But the 6-core includes the D500 GPUs as standard (over the 4 core), and so there they are. One way to save money is to start with the 4-core CPU, upgrade it to the 6-core, and this then saves about $400 on the GPUs by sticking to the D300 models.
    But at 4:00 AM I forgot about this, and besides, the fractional cost when all other costs are considered drops well below 10% of the system price. And there is no way to know for sure if the GPUs have any benefit short of testing identical configs on specific tasks. None of the GPU options are slow.

  • ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac

    We want to be able to use our 30" cinema display from the G4 and was advised in a previous discussion to buy the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Does anybody know of an alternate video card that's currently available that will get us there? (We had the display running from a G5 that quit / logic board failure).
    Many thanks,
    Philip

    The Nvidia 7800GS is a flashed card, runs a 30" with ease.
    BruinMacs on Ebay is a great place to get one, you support the guy who wrote the original ROM for these.
    He doesn't seem to have any for sale right now, but if you email him, maybe he will list one.
    There are also flashed X800s that work on your MDD and can run a 30". They are pricey but will offer dual DVI while the 7800GS is single DVI with VGA for second display.
    There are also flashed 6600GT AGP cards which will work, but harder to find.
    Any of the above 3 will run circles around a 9600.

  • Is Prentium D Dual Core 3.0 powerful enough for CS3?

    Is Prentium D Dual Core 3.0 powerful enough for CS3?

    Yes, Mobotu, I found P Pro 2.0 and Aspect 5.0 much better than 1.5.1 and 4.25 if for no other reason than it fixed the color/saturation shift when I played videos from the timeline without having to monkey around with that overlay playback setting. And it fixed the slight stuttering that the audio used to make when I first started playing a clip in the timeline. Beyond that, it has some other little nifty improvements, multicam, and a flexible window interface. I just received my free CS3 upgrade yesterday (due to a special promo when I bought ver. 2.0 a few months ago), so I will see how that works with Aspect HD 5 now. I also finally get a free upgrade included for my aging version of Encore 1.5 to Encore CS 3.0 and I will also see if I can find any use for On Location as well.

  • Mac mini (late 2014 ) 2.6ghz for photoshop..

    hi friends,
    i have plan to upgrade a system for basic photo editing in photoshop cs5 or 6... regarding this , i must need speedy open and save the photo files.. i am tired of using old pentium dual core processers in my old p.c.
    but i came to know that mac mini is also dual core in this model.. i know the speed difference will definetely blow the old pentium model.. but i have some doubts regarding this i5 dual core model..
    1. is this model is hyper threaded ? if so , photoshop will get any benefit of hyper threaded cores?
    2. does dual core is enough for photoshop in terms of speedy editing without hanging?
    3.do i expect same performance speed of windows PC i5 processor with mac mini i5 models?
    i dont play games.. only photoshop and web browsing..
    thank you
    suresh babu

    Generally, it all depends on how heavy duty your Photoshop
    work is and how large the images are.  If you work with large images
    with a multitude of complex filtering layers, the Mini may not
    cut it.  However, if you just do a layer or 2 with simple image adjustments,
    it will be just fine.
    One think to note is all the new Mac Minis have integrated graphics.
    Many of Photoshop filters and 3rd party plugins heavily leaverage
    the graphics specific processing of graphics cards.  Although the newer
    Intel Iris integrated graphics are much better than earlier generations,
    they are no match for a a computer mid range discrete graphics solution with
    its own dedicated RAM.  Integrated graphics share system memory with everything
    else running on the computer.

    From my personal experience, I wouldn't go for an Integrated card. This is one of the most important components for Photoshop, so invest in a decent graphics card (ATI or NVidia). It doesn't have to be a really exepensive one - I have been using ATI Radeon with 256MB of RAM on my Dell Studio for almost two years and it still rocks! (even when I work with 3D in Ps CS5 Extended).
    I would also invest in more RAM (this can be added easily - I bought extra 4GB as my Studio came with 3GB).
    I wouldn't worry about the processor - I'm on Intel Core 2 Duo - and it works very very well, it's very quick which is very important as I'm training Photoshop.
    I hope this helps.

  • What resolution & order of work to scan slides for Photoshop editing

    When editing all done I would propose to save at 300 dpi. If the photo/slide requires no editing, I would also scan in and save at 300 dpi.
    My slides, however, need a lot of work. They have deteriorated over the years and need - colour correction, removal of colour casts, brighten up shadows, brighten up colours etc. etc.
    I have read many books and tips but they all seem to think I want to  produce prize winning images with amazing time consuming enhancements! I  just want, as I have seen from other threads, to get into a simple routine and crack on through the pile of slides to produce acceptable digital images!
    My simple mind suggests give Photoshop as much to work with as possible!
    I have:
    - a Minolta Dual 3 AF 2840 Slide scanner which has many features akin to Photoshop - curves, Levels etc.
    - Photoshop 6.0.1 and Elements 2.0 - not very up to date I am afraid!
    Three questions:
    1) The maximum Scanner resolution is 2840 - I would have thought scanning at this best to get the most information of the image into Photoshop. Would this seem right - I can resample down to 300 dpi at the end?
    2) How much editing should I do in the Scanner - to give Photoshop the best information to work with - e.g. should I use Levels/Curves in the scanner to brighten up the shadows for Photoshop etc?
    3) Once in Photoshop for final editing, what is the best order of work and which tools best to use, bearing in mind for, say colour cast, you can use Curves, Levels, Colour Balance, Variations etc, etc.- it seems colour balance is best for this from what I have read. My suggested routine is:
    Use Scanner to scan and do initial editing:.
    - Clean slide
    - Crop
    - Set 2840 Resolution
    - Pixel polishing etc
    - Use Colour balance for colour cast
    - Curves/levels to bring out detail from the shadows
    - Scan
    - Save as TIFF
    Photoshop
    - Crop
    - Final Overall Tonal adjustments - Curves and Levels?
    - Final Overall Colour casts - Colour Balance?
    - Adjust specific tonal adjustments etc. for selected areas - Dodge, Burn etc?
    - Other adjustments - Clone out blemishes etc.
    - Unsharpen
    - Resample to 300 dpi and save as JPG or TIFF etc. for required purpose - usually JPEG
    Does this sound right - any suggestion for variation etc. will be most welcome?
    Any other advice also most welcome!
    Tony

    Dear Marian,
    Thanks for the prompt reply - it sounds like it is just what I want  to hear!
    Just to  double check my understanding! Do you agree, then, that it is a good  idea to scan slides (and negatives for that matter) at the maximum  resolution for the purpose of further  editing in Photoshop?
    As you say, Photoshop will reduce  the ppi automatically for larger images than the slide. Most of my final printed  output will be 6x4" but it still gives me scope for a half decent print  at 8x11" if I want.
    As I understand it, Slides and Negatives are pretty dense  and can accept high resolution scanning whereas to scan a magazine  page, for example, there would be no need to scan at more than 300 dpi -  in fact to do so may even produce funny results!
    I know  people can get carried away with resolution. I do get amused when people  get excited about their super megapixel cameras when they ever only  display the results on a screen or a small print!
    Thanks  again for your comments - if you can confirm the above, that will be one big issue solved for me.

    That's downright pathetic.  Unrealistically small.
    Shoot for at least 300 or 500 GB, and plan on a dedicated, physically separate hard drive for Photoshop scratch disk.
    No danger of overkill with the rest of your planned specs.

  • Configuring a MacPro for Photoshop CS3/Lightroom/CS3 Suite usage

    After hearing that Leopard is delayed for a few more months, I've decided to go ahead and buy a MacPro now instead of waiting any longer (was going to hold out until after the WWDC in June). There are a couple of important details that I'm unsure about, and wonder if anyone here offer any wisdom about them.
    Right now I'm looking at the quad 2.66GHz MacPro. I'm uncertain about how much RAM to add, as I work with large Photoshop files (up to 1GB in size), and will typically have Photoshop CS3 and other CS3 apps running along side of Lightroom, etc. at the same time. How much memory will Photoshop CS3 be able to really utilize, and how much additional memory would the other applications need on top of that? I'm guessing 4-6 GB of RAM total, but would there be any advantage to having more RAM? I'm also unsure about which video card would be sufficient, e.g whether the Radeon X1900 XT is worth it versus the stock GeForce 7300 GT if I don't plan to use Aperture or two 30" monitors? I don't know how the new Adobe apps will respond to more GPU horsepower if at all.
    Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
    Dual MDD PowerMac 1GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   2GB RAM, lots of storage internal and external

    How much memory will Photoshop CS3 be able to really utilize, and how much additional memory would the other applications need on top of that?
    Presuming Photoshop CS3 utilizes system memory for caching in the same way that CS2 does then the answer is all of it. It's actually quite clever. For instance, if you have 6GB system memory and 3GB allocated specifically to PS, if PS needs more than that 3GB then it'll ask the Mac OS X memory manager to handle the caching. Mac OS X being as clever as it is will do as best it can and if it's available as RAM it'll provide that.
    I'm guessing 4-6 GB of RAM total, but would there be any advantage to having more RAM?
    That'll depend on how many applications and processes you like to be running at once. For Photoshop it's fine. I would probably suggest starting with 5GB (4 x 1GB + factory 2 x 512MB) and see how you go.
    I'm also unsure about which video card would be sufficient, e.g whether the Radeon X1900 XT is worth it versus the stock GeForce 7300 GT if I don't plan to use Aperture or two 30" monitors?
    Currently the Adobe CS3 design (as opposed to the video) applications don't make specific use of the GPU. That does not mean it'll stay like that, especially given Adobe has public said they are looking into doing so (whether it pans out is another matter). You might want to consider it as a "future proofing" although I don't believe it's necessary as of today and CS3.

  • Best hardware/OS for Photoshop CS5

    Hi there,
    i want to build a new PC, optimized for Photoshop CS5, with Windows OS.
    Can anybody tell me the optimal hardware configuration to make Photoshop as fast as possible?
    The program is primarly used for poster design.
    how much ram makes sense?
    is there a noticeable speed increase using 8GB instead auf 4GB?
    is there a noticeable speed increase using quad-core/six-core CPU instead of dual-core?
    is there a noticeable speed increase using GTX460 Graphic Card instead of a GTS450?
    what is the best hardware for photoshop CS5?
    what OS can you suggest me? is win7 64bit the best windows os?
    Thank you for your support!

    Windows 7 64 bit professional.
    8 gigs of RAM because it is dirt cheap and Photoshop loves RAM. Most motherboards allow more RAM if you wish to update.
    Don't know about Nvidia cards. I use a ATI 5870. Video card drivers play a important part. But the Nvidia card suonds about Right.
    4 core is fine. 6 cores I don't own yet but maybe next year.
    I use AMD processor 4 core on my main rig. AMD uses motherboards that can be used over and over for most processor updates and just require a bios update. The Newer AMD processors due out soon may need a new AMD3+ board but that is not official so the AMD2 boards may work saving money.
    Intel's are nice but everytime Intel comes out with a new processor line the board is always different.
    I run a i720 on my laptop and PS runs great.
    Buy a good power supply that will have extra power incase you upgrade later. Don't buy cheap power supplies.
    At least a 7,200 RPM hard drive. Get 2 internal ones. One for your OS and programs and one for PS scratch disk and storage.
    Quality DVD burner.
    Motherboard is up to what you want with the processor type. AMD or Intel. Read up on the internet and also the websites you buy from for customer reviews.
    Look at SSD's with TRIM support for a boot drive too. These have reallycome down in price. Use a hard drive for a scratch disk. Get a velocity raptor that spins at 10,000 RPM. 600 gigs are offered now at a cheap price.
    I am sure others will chime in.

    Your Mac Pro 2008 should have no problems with CS6.  Not sure about CC or CC2014. Note that Adobe stills sells CS6 with a perpetual license.
    I run CS6 13.0.6 on a 2996 Mac Pro 1,1 without any problems or slowdowns whatsoever.  Just make sure you have your Mac equipped with plenty of RAM, a physically separate HD for Photoshop's scratch, and a video card with enough VRAM on it.  See my machine's specs below.

  • Laptop for Photoshop - GPU (Nvidia vs AMD) + Display (IPS vs TN) questions - please help

    Hi, I am helping someone with getting a new laptop for PhotoShop work, and am very confused about a couple of things.
    Hoping that the pros on this forum can help.
    1. Dedicated Graphics card - needed or not?
        If needed, AMD Radeon/FirePro (difficult to find on laptops) or Nvidia GeForce GTX 6xxM/7xxM or Quadro?
    2. Suggestions on laptops with an IPS panel and wide color gamut.
    Re. 1 - this is very confusing. From what I researched, the new Photoshop versions (CS6 and above) do use the GPU very effectively, and are using OpenCL rather than CUDA. Yet there are people on some forums that say that a GPU is not needed unless editing video.
    My friend is not editing video - he is using Photoshop to create Digital Art. He does use all of the Photoshop features in his work. No 3D work, no video editing. The end result is Printed artwork - sometimes large prints 3 ft x 4 ft printed with geeclee on canvas/high quality paper.
    Is a GPU needed, and if so is it better to get the AMD cards (Radeon most likely) that seem to completely outperform the GeForce cards in OpenCL at least?
    Most of the laptops available seem to have the GTX 6xxM or 7xxM cards, and I read on one forum that the OpenCL functions are disabled on these cards. Read on another forum that it can be re-enabled with a hack. Thorougly confused. Please help.
    Re. 2 - This too is confusing. Seems like an IPS panel has the best color rendition, but then they do not cover the entire color spectrum - or at least not as widely as the TN panels. If this will be the only monitor for work, is an IPS panel the best way to go or is it better to get a TN with wide gamut? Are there laptops with both - an IPS panel and a wide color gamut - without breaking the bank?
    Currently the Sager/Clevo machines, and some MSI models, and ASUS models seem to be the best candidates. Had to rule out Dell Precision 6700/4700 and HP Elitebook 8770W/8570W due to price, but considering refurbished ones.
    I am working with a $1200 budget with maybe some stretchability. Any advice/suggestions will be much appreciated.

    At the potential risk of your pretending to kick me off what you misguidedly perceive as your thread—which by the way you would have no right to do, since you do not own a thread just because you started it—I'll have a couple of comments on your original thoughts.
    There's no reason to be "confused" here.
    1.— Utilization of the GPU is indeed always beneficial to using recent versions of Photoshop, regardless of whether you work with video or not.  Whether you "need it or not" is a different discussion.
    2.— Of course it's absolutely necessary to be able to work with a monitor that has a narrower gamut than your working space or even your output target profile.  In my case, for example, as I'm 99.9% concerned with high quality prints, I work exclusively in ProPhoto RGB.  I'd be in a pickle if I were to restrict my work to just what I can see on any monitor regardless of how wide its gamut were.
    One just has to learn how to work in Photoshop.  That's what  Gamut Warning and Soft Proofing are there, for example.  Printers are capable of printing some colors that are not visible on any monitor.
    3.—  If both the video card and/or its driver fail to support Open GL and Shader Model, no "hack" on Earth can make up for it.
    4.— If someone came to me for advice on a laptop on which to run Photoshop  well, my main and perhaps only goal would be to dissuade that person from wasting his or her money.
    I know there might be flak from some laptop users for that immediately preceding paragraph, but hopefully not as much as you're likely to get—and deservedly so—from Mac Pro users for your astonishingly uninformed comments on those machines. 
    One thing is having a laptop as a second machine on which to show your Photoshop work to clients and prospective clients when forced to, and another one is trying to use a laptop as one's main, working Photoshop machine.
    Going to a laptop publication (which I gather the obscure, niche-market "NBR" you cite is) for information on whether to use one or not is like seeking theological religious advice about world religions from the Pope in the Vatican or the Ayatollah in Tehran. 
    5.— In the past I had run Photoshop on a variety of different nVidia GeForce cards with up to 512 MB of VRAM, but with Photoshop CS6's more advanced utilization of the GPU I have moved to a mutant, factory-overclocked, flashed ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1 GB of VRAM driving side-by-side dual 22" monitors in my current desktop Mac Pro 2.66 GHz under OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I couldn't possibly be happier.
    I do run my second copy of Photoshop on my Mac Book (not "Pro") laptop with its stock Intel GMA 950 video circuitry and its paltry  64 MB of shared system memory, and it works just fine for the aforementioned purposes of showing  Photoshop work to others.  I wouldn't want to do any editing in Photoshop on that machine other than for minor touch-ups in an emergency, however.
    Lastly, I feel compelled to add that, in my opinion, basic human decency would dictate that you offer Trevor some sort of apology for your presumptuousness in asking him to leave this thread.  If I hadn't already begun typing this post before you posted your #6, I might have just ignored your thread.  Considering the overall anti-laptop tenor of this post, you may well wish I had. 

  • Where can i find a dutch manual for photoshop cs6

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find the dutch manual for Photoshop CS6.
    There is a hyperlink available on this page Help bij Photoshop | Archief called Help bij Adobe Photoshop CS5 (PDF), but if I follow this I end up on an "error page" in English telling me that the requested page isn't available.
    Can someone provide me with this PDF-file please?
    I can download this PDF in English, but it would be so much easier for me to read and understand the subject matter in Dutch.
    So, is there anybody out there who can send it to me?
    Thanks!
    Michael

  • How do I save an install file for Photoshop CS6

    I need to get an install file for Photoshop CS6 (not CR) that I can use on a Windows PC that, due to security reasons, does
    not have access to the internet.  In the past I have been able to save the install file for Photoshop and/or Lightroom on my internet connected PC and then move it to the the target PC on a thumb drive or CD.  But now with the CC and the new "Adobe Installer" I can't seem to see how to capture the install file. 
    Please let me know how to do this.
