Adobe CS4 Performance

[irrezolut]

Hello out there,

I am looking to get some basic information on Adobe CS4 Performance- specifically Illustrator and Photoshop CS4.

I understand that Photoshop uses the GPU for various different things (mainly filters and 3D work), and CS4 applications seem to be able to utilize multiple cores...

But what I need to know for sure is this:


Does Illustrator CS4 utilize the GPU?

Can all Adobe CS4 applications utilize multiple cores?



If any can help me out with this, that would be completely awesome.

Adobe's support hasn't been very helpful. Searching hasn't turned up much that's useful, so I am asking here at Tom's, where I've gotten the best info so far from searching.

Thanks!

Have you consulted the product documentation (AKA the manual)? AFAIK, CS4 apps make full use of multiple cores.

I'm not currently using CS4, so I don't have any documentation from Adobe on it- I also haven't been able to find anything particularly useful in terms of specs from a manual or otherwise on Adobe's site.

I'll keep looking- that's honestly something I hadn't considered outright, I guess it's one of those simple solutions that slipped by me.
