rtx 4090 in old machine

[Mnietek2707]

So I put rtx 4090 into my old box - s5520sc mobo with 2 xeons e5520.
Performance is very poor - about 1500 pts in V-Ray GPU RTX benchamrk.
Is there somethig I can do or maybe my computer is just too old?

Hey Mnietek2707

Nothing could be done about this, the CPUs are 14 years-old
It is time for an upgrade

You should get around 5600 paths with a new CPU + 4090

You were right. I was going to wait for threadripper zen 4 but I sped up the hardware change and things are definitely better on ryzen 9 7950X
Now I get about 5800 pts in V-Ray GPU RTX benchamrk...

I'm glad to hear!

The 7950X is a very good CPU, the difference in performance compared to your old hardware should be day and night
Enjoy!

Best,
Muhammed
