#GAMING ON A MAC VERSUS PC 2016 WINDOWS 10#
The result was a home-built, overclocked and water-cooled Windows 10 rig based around an octo-core Intel i7-5960X processor, 64GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 980 Ti graphics card, pitted against an Apple iMac with quad-core i7 processor, 32GB of RAM and an AMD R9 M395X graphics card. On both platforms, Jirsa and colleague Joseph Wu spent around US$4,400 for what, to most, would be considered a pretty high-end system.
But as someone who has used both platforms extensively - and who has chosen a test that's directly relevant to the photographers who make up the core of our audience - we nevertheless found the results of Jirsa's test rather interesting.
What seems fair and straightforward to fans of one platform will frequently strike fans of the other as rank favoritism, no matter how impartial the reviewer might try to be. There are, it has to be said, some question marks over the methodology for the test, but that's pretty much impossible to avoid entirely. A self-professed Apple fan, Jirsa has just published the results of a head-to-head test comparing two similarly-priced Apple and Windows machines performing the exact same tasks in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. That doesn't stop the occasional brave soul from trying, however, and the latest to do just that is photographer Pye Jirsa of SLR Lounge. Mac or PC: It's a debate that has been raging for more years than we care to remember, and one that will likely never truly be settled.
