Hello,
We are currently looking into buying a new system. This is my currect system:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz, # of logical cores: 32
Quadro K4200 4096MB
NVIDIA driver version: 384.76
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Vray Benchmark (CPU): 01:13.530
The work I do is arch viz stills, with sometimes an animation. The exterior scenes are pretty heavy most of the time, with lots of grass/trees and other objects. I do mostly CPU rendering, with a VRAY RT for previews (if the scenes aren't to heavy.). Recently I've had some scenes crashing when rendering (CPU rendering, not RT) wich might caused by my 32GB RAM limitation.
Due to contracts the IT department prefers buying a HP setup (so no self configuration).
The two main questions I have are:
What's more important, more cores at a lower MHz or fewer cores with higher MHz.
Will upgrading to a NVIDIA Quadro P5000 benefit for me (compared to a P4000).
And is switching to AMD Threadtripper so much cheaper/more bang-for-bucks that it's worth mentioning our IT department so that they might consider buying a different system than HP)?
If some of you have more tips or advice, that’s much appreciated.
