GPGPU Performance (MuseMage / Photoshop CS6)
MuseMage is a fully featured image editing program that uses GPU acceleration for its enhanced suite of color effects, filters, adjustment tools and other features. In order to achieve our results, we used MuseMage’s handy Batch script to apply 15 separate and consecutive image modifications to a 50MB JPG file. The results below represent the amount of time it took to complete this task.
RESULTS: MuseMage provides an interesting counterpoint to our previous testing. Since it is optimized for OpenCL, we can see the benefits of AMD's more powerful graphics cores but also how Intel has managed to substantially close the gap through the use of a more compute-focused architecture.
In our previous Photoshop CS6 benchmark, we deliberately disabled the GPU acceleration features so we could get an apples to apples CPU comparison. However, in this test, we are enabling that acceleration to see what affect it has upon the benchmark numbers. Please remember: Photoshop’s GPU features only improve performance on SOME (rather than all) editing tools so performance will not scale in a linear fashion due to the CPU still playing a role.
RESULTS: Since our Photoshop benchmark combines CPU loads alongside several GPU-accelerated features, the i7 4770K and i5 4670K are able to remain well ahead. Ironically, even without GPU acceleration, they manage to be AMD's A10-5800K's accelerated score by a country mile.
