Visiontek Ultimate Performance 8GB PC3-12800 CL8 1600mhz Memory review

This version of the script has been thoroughly tested on Adobe Photoshop CS5 and CS4 and is compatible with Photoshop 7. It is important to document however that different versions of Photoshop give different end results. Adobe have been fine tuning the program over the years and enhancing specific filters and algorithms for better performance (some filters were rewritten during the CS2 time period). This means ultimately that comparing times with users running other versions of Photoshop is not going to give consistent results.

All results were gained from Adobe Photoshop CS5 64bit exe on Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and are marked in seconds. Lower times are better.

Memory bandwidth does have an impact on overall Photoshop performance as can be seen with these results. It would be difficult to notice under real world conditions mind you.

  1. 2133mhz kit for the price of 1600mhz. thats very good. (well if the price is what I expect it to be , cant find it anywhere).

  2. hey, nice overclock indeed. my 1600mhz Corsair memory hits 1900mhz at 9-10-9 2t which I thought was pretty good.

  3. I dont see this listed anywhere, even on their own site !

  4. Really good, but they normally dont release in the UK, just North America. which sucks.

  5. Never heard of them, but ill keep my eyes out for this, when I upgrade to my new system.

  6. My understanding is it will be up on Tiger and Amazon within a week. It is on the site I just checked but it is a new site from a week ago..

  7. That’s some pretty impressive overclocking, indeed! OCing running at 2133mhz with ease? Wouldn’t mind testing a few of these on my own… Glad to see quality memory out there.

  8. I am seriously impressed with these. I have my eye on them when I see them for sale. hopefully the price isnt very high.

  9. Yeah im ready to part with the cash myself

  10. Whats the catch, lifetime warranty as well. seems they must be selling these for a lot of cash when they go up.
