Actually it should, because the need for those programs is similar to other graphics programs and not similar to most posted benchmarks which are generally game centered.
Originally posted by Mooncatt This is without a dedicated graphics card. Any thoughts on if this would give an appreciable reduction in image processing/exporting time in Topaz?
Unless someone else has those two specific setups and wants to run a benchmark on them both for you no one is going to be able to accurately answer that question. Which is why I posted the recommended configuration for a graphic editing workstation assuming you would extrapolate from that to what your configuration was.
Any way {sigh} never mind.
