Original Question: "Photoshop performance: Win vs Hackintosh."
Hello.
I use hackintosh for photo editing and noticed that Photoshop is much faster on Mac OS than on Windows. This is one build and hardware is the same. Even windows has a 2x faster nvme ssd than sata ssd for mac os. Liquify module starts many times faster on a Mac and the zoom tool (in liquify) works instantly although on Windows it works with a big delay. Why? I am using an old high sierra with nvidia 1060 and 4k display. On windows installed up to date studio drivers which must be more optimized than old drivers for a mac. Lightroom startup is same much faster for a macos than Win and response is quicker.
Sorry for my english. Using a translator.
