24 (actual) core Slower than quad

Ok then; I'll do more test when we get a machine for testing.

In the meantime, if memory permits, you can run several independent instances of 3ds Max to render at the same time (also through DR with the same machine).

Thanks Vlado I'll give it a try.

The guy who built my machine said I if u gonna test form AMD chips i should give you this link to a good tool for analysing your code. I dont know enough about this to know if it will help you but here it is anyways.

Yep, I've used Code Analyst in the past when I was on an AMD machine myself.

hello

did you recieve AMD machine now , can you start testing now ? .....

[Jacolath]

Dont know if it helps anyone but I was able to get better performance by running multiple instances of Max with multiple renders. I would put on an additional render and the original render would hardly slow down at all.

We ordered it; but it will take a while to get it here as it needs to be specially assembled - hardly anyone in Bulgaria needs such hardware

great i will wait for conclusion .....

[Jacolath]

Was wondering if you have tested that computer yet .... I still cant get scenes with many proxies to render using 100% of 24 cores.

Yep, we got about a week ago. From my initial simple tests, I didn't find anything unusual, but they were pretty simple. It would be very helpful if you can get me a scene to test and debug to vlado@chaosgroup.com
