Threadripper 3990X is out

[houourin]

In my case with the 2990wx 3970x and the 3990x is that deoends on the scene.
Yeah vray bench says one thing but then on production deoends a loot on what it renders.

in some. very fast renders the diference with 2990wx and 3990x was only 20%faster... while in others was like almost 250%


I wanna know more about the windowa enterprise with all the cores in a singke group does that help in Phoenix? or tyflow? or any other simulation way.

most of the time i just get 50% of my cores to work because of the 2 groups.
for that things the 3970x is faster...
Does Enterprise fix that? anyone tgat actually tested it?
thankyou.

Turn SMT on in your win. Otherwise get win pro for workstation that will give you the similar functionality as ent and u dont need to play with smt. Thats why your 3990 play poorly.

smt on or off .. cant remember

Vlado, do you have your own test of 3990X now? What windows version ans setup you recomend? Ans what about cooling? Thank you.

I thought I would NEVER build an AMD system again after an epic fail may years ago. I have been using Dual Socket Xeons ever since. I curranty have a fresh windows pro install on and going to install my apps and give it a go, hopefully it's runs stable.
The V-Ray score seems a bit low...

Linus just did a review and he said it was fast, but there are limitations. Also, he said it is about as fast as the Titan XP, which is less money (albeit now by much).

Linus doesn't know what he's talking about. (2) RTX 6000 were not faster than my Dual Xeon 44 core system. The CPU render would always be faster than dual GPU's. I think their is a big difference in benchmarks and real world rendering applications.

thats a very good score, what sort of overclock are u running? I seem to only get 27000 and 87000 running at 3.9all core OC.

Im on win10pro, 128gb 3200 vengance mem. PBO on and set to ppt 600 tdc 450 edc 430 and a little undervolt on cpu 50mv

I'm curious if anyone has tried out a dual epyc 64 core system. Not many motherboards out there for 7002 epyc systems out of course. But 128 cores and 256 threads. Can buy the Epyc 64 core cpu for around 2 grand from China at the moment in QS. Compared with a pure GPU based system. But don't think that many effects can be rendered on GPU as on CPU still. Vray fog, thinking particles, etc. Not sure my little flat could handle the power draw, or my bank account, otherwise would spring for it. Can't have too much horsepower! Of course would need to spring for 2-4GB RAM per core, so minimum of 256 GB RAM so that costs. Not as bad as it used to be, picked up 64GB ecc ddr4 for 250 USD from China on ebay. So not terrible and it worked fine.
128 cores and 256 threads! Drool! THAT would cut done my render times for sure! Of course there is always online. Bit expensive still.

Running 2 pc's on windows pro, both with dual e5-2696's v3 (total of 72 cores and 144 threads) and 64gb ram each. So a bit older, but work fine, but still too slow rendering with a lot of lights, fog etc. So a bump up to 128 cores would make a big difference. Well for animation. For stills it's more than enough horsepower. The question is, invest in new pc for animation, or just render online? Of course new pc builds are always fun (sometimes!) but it may be more economical to just farm big renders out to an online render farm. Expensive as they are.
Well good luck with the renders all! Remember to save!
