What version of After Effects are you using? I'm experiencing excellent performance under 5.5.1. -- Mark

Quote: Originally posted by ryaxnb Appare. people say HT stinks. I want benchmarks, real-world tests, etc. I'm too lazy to post in full, but my P4 3.2 Ghz with HT turned on runs between 5% slower and 15% faster on threaded tasks. -- Mark

This happens to me when the plug is not inserted all the way. You might want to see whether you haven't pushed it that last 16th of an inch into the jack. Alternatively, it can be caused by a short in the headphone jack, in which case you'd need…

Here are my specific concerns about these particular benchmarks. Many benchmarks raise these concerns, but some are better at trying to reduce their impact: Two processors built from similar basic semiconductor technology can have different gene…

Quote: Originally posted by 123 Having read a bit about the "Parallel Computing Toolkit", it seems that you have to do everything yourself. In other words, there will be zero speed-up if you just launch the slave kernel without using parallel com…

Quote: Originally posted by User Tron No offence but again like many here, you trying to find a flaw in their benchmarking to invalidate the results. All testing or experimentation must be evaluated with a critical eye. When it holds up, that…

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer This is incorrect -- very few compilers do any auto-vectorization of with either SSE/SSE2 or AltiVec. The source of your confusion is probably due to the fact that along with SSE2 Intel added a new way of d…
