#3 upgraded RAM and replaced HDD with SSD.īoth #2 and #3 were obviously superior in performance in Adobe CC products.#1 was the control - 8 GBs RAM, traditional HDD.Three towers, all with the same i7 CPU (I don't remember the model or rated speeds/cores). We did side-by-side tests of some various configurations. (I'll re post in adobe if this is not the correct place!) To be honest I'm not sure at all! I'm mostly looking for specs on equipment for other Adobe Users but if someone wants to recommend a change to her current rig, that would be welcome as well. Just based on adobe's requirements, I feel that either the GPU or memory is what is limiting her PC. When she has all of her programs open, memory usage seems not to go over 5.5GB and CPU usage peaks a couple times but typically is around 30-40%. Here is what my graphic designer is using. When she plays m4a files in WMA, the play back is very choppy.Īre there any users of Adobe Creative Cloud that could share the specs on their PC's hardware? The PC she is using seems to meet or exceed Adobe's requirements. My company's graphic designer desktop slows down significantly while running After Effects, Photoshop, in addition to other productivity programs.
