UPDATED BENCHMARK (ITS FASTER I PROMISE)

[Clifton Santiago]

No, I didn't change any settings. I assume 4? I'll have to check.

The problem is, we don't have the node anymore so I can't test it again. The guy came and collected it yesterday. I am ordering one though and should have it in about a month.

Hey Jack,

Sorry about that...

Its a Dell Precision PW690

Honestly, this machine seems like the best Ive ever had in my life... It crunches through renders in no time... No farms... nothing...

Below are the exact specs and cost.

I hope this information is useful...

Guys please use the new benchmark thread. It is better for faster machines. This one is abit old now.

ahh n6, at it again I see.

[Clifton Santiago]

Yeah... then we need to make a new benchmark for RC2. The new one requires RC3. I don't have RC3 and don't plan to upgrade until RC4, as I explained at the bottom of my post.

[stevesideas]

Where is the new benchmark thread ? I couldnt see it..
