Hullo OC.net,
one of my customers asked me how fast the rig im building for him will render objects in Photoshop (i personally don't use PS so i wouldn't have a clue)

The build is;
i7 2600k
16gb 1600mz CL9 RAM
P8Z68 mobo
GTX 570
SATA 6gb/s SSD

He is in marketing and his current pc is taking ages to load any image.
 
If he's not worried about money; yeah looks solid. Is he even a gamer? What resolution screen does he use?

What case/PSU you running?

If he's not a hardcore gamer; consider a GTX 560 Ti instead.
 
Consider a Fractal Arc Mid tower case.. IMO it's nicer.

TX850 is overkill; and non-modular.. potential mess. GTX 570's could run SLI with 750W.

Consider Corsair TX 550M instead. Partially modular; and not overkill.

But if you're willing to extort him for something he doesn't need... Your choice :p. (Mid-moderate gaming offers a GTX 560 Ti or HD 6870 at best.. No need for more at 1080p or less for a casual gamer :\).
 
What would be the PS CS5.5 performance on the rig? (main question i asked)
like how long would it take to render an image with heaps of layers/large file size?
 
Well if his work is paying for it.. Who cares! Though I still suggest a different PSU. A modular one if you can.

Asking a broad question like that with heaps of layers + high res files... Won't get any answers frankly.. I'll assume he's using older tech.. Say Core 2 Duo quad core non-oc.

That's a Q6600 vs a 2600K. It retouch's over twice as fast (favoured for the 2600k).

And that's at stock.. I assume you're getting a K model because you're going to overclock it..? If you're not.. get the non-k model? Or even one of these, Intel Xeon E3-1240, though that would no longer really warrant the need for a Z68 board..
 
I see. Could probably run that on stock volts no sweat. And on the stock cooler (though I'd still recommend a Hyper 212 Evo or Thermalright True Spirit or something along those lines..)
 
judging by the Anandtech and Tom's hardware models, I think you can say 'Things should render about twice as fast, give or take a bit' -- Assuming the old PC was a cor2duo with a decent GPU.
 
Hullo OC.net,

Looks good to me for photoshop - maybe just add a ~0.5 -1 TB HDD for storage and you should be good to go. I hear Photoshop works better on nVidia cards so you've got the right sort of setup there. I suspect PS might make use of faster RAM (2133 MHz?) but I'm not sure.

Welcome to the forums :thup:

Ask him to load PS on this machine and then run this benchmark: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/photoshop.php

That will give him the information that he needs. :D
