Testing – Futuremark / PhotoShop
Next I ran the mandatory Futuremark benchmarks. I was unable to run PCMark05 due to the fact that it doesn’t support the latest version of Internet Explorer, which it uses in the testing.
PhotoShop
Next I ran a real world test using PhotoShop CS3 and PSBench by Driverheaven.net. PhotoShop Bench consists of a script that runs a series of filters on a large .jpg, and you compare the times it takes to perform each filter operation. There are 15 steps, I chose a few of the ones that take longer to complete, some operations take only a second or two and really don’t show significant differences.
I bought this board a few months back. While I am fairly happy with it, I have one performance issue I have not been able to resolve. When downloading files my my speed has decreased about 500kB on average. where I used to average about 2MB/sec I am now getting about 1.5 Mb/sec. I installed the latest drivers with no improvement. All other factors are unchanged, same router, modem, cables, etc. Only the motherboard was changed. Any ideAS?
