XEON vs. i7 again - TESTING INTERIOR SCENE

[snivlem]

Just finished building my brand new 2696v3 Dual Xeon for me/my new employer (and this was my first ever render on it);

29.9s

3DS Max 2014 / VRay 3.40.02

lol.

We'll need a new test soon.

@cheerioboy - definitley OC that 5960x. I got it to 4.3Ghz on a small corsair 75 radiator and the thing is so much faster like in the region of 30-40% faster. It's a waste of money not to oc that particular CPU.

Does someone has the scene as Maya file?

[Sbrusse]

Is there a way I can export it for maya? Maybe a vrscene? or a fbx?
I don't have maya but if you let me know what filetype you can use I'll try to export it for you

[hsz]

Great Thank you! FBX should work.

[Sbrusse]

Here it is, I've embeded the medias so you should be all good with that one fbx.

Hi guys
Not sure if anyone has posted any results for the new i7 chips, in particular the 6950x.

Just got a new computer with spec as follows -

i7 6950x (OC @ 4 ghz)
64gb ram
max 2015
vray 3.40.02

without embree - 58 seconds
with embree - 52 seconds

I can't believe this scene used to take 9 minutes in the first post; that's like 27 times faster...

Shame it's hard to know how much of that is attributed to Hardware and how much to vray's upgrades...

Well, technically you could install the exact same V-Ray version as the original benchmark so that the software is the same. But on the other hand, older builds may not handle a lot of CPU cores as well as newer builds so the comparison might not be accurate anyways.

No one is rendering with old builds anyway, so this is good We need a new benchmark scene soon.

Hah... there are still people using V-Ray 1.5...

But whyyyyyy!

The first test had bitmap pager on, the real result was 4min something :P

Ok, that makes more sense Recent V-Ray builds automatically turn it off anyways.
