Bobby, I am your guy.
My farm is always avalible for others to use.

Yeah, 3xxx series threadrippers are old. There is a 5xxx threadripper series now which is much faster and has better single threaded performance, but a 7950x will have better performance for everything except the act of rendering itself, as it has much better single threaded performance than even the latest 5xxx series threadrippers. I run sims on a 7950x because it is a lot faster than the latest threadripper.

Only five grand - and then the extra node license

That is an outdated processor. The 7950x is about 47% faster or somesuch. Not sure if you are into building machines, or know someone who is, but that machine could be built for about 2-3k, (maybe 3.5k depending on GPU prices).

Also the 3090 is old. The 4090 is way faster, and I thought cheaper.

If you want to buy rather than build Puget Systems does very nice build, with excellent quality control, and testing, and they understand our market very well. But they are not cheap. I don't think they are expensive, but definitely homebrew is way cheaper-- as it always is-- but then you have to be able to support it yourself, etc.

[Mr.Mxyzptlk]

Yikes.

[Joelaff]

Knowledge is power, and home brew will always save tons if you can handle the support yourself (or internally).

[glorybound]

Yikes.

That is the stuff I see. High-end workstations for the heavy hitter! 8GB Video, 16GB of RAM, with an i5 processor .

pugetsystems - seems pricey!

I used to build PCs, and for a rather large architectural firm. This was in the 90s, so I am rusty. I have been buying from DELL, and their support was great. This latest computer, not so much. Actually, it has been awful.

I would get the 64 core. Remember the rule - 4 times faster everything (rendering anyway) You don't need two 4090 though, unless you do a lot of gpu rendering.

I think I am going to pull my old computer out of storage and see how it still does.

just curious how your present workstation scores with vray bench?i can bench it against my 3990wx and we can draw some parallels.

[Morbid Angel]

I just did this score test. It looks like on vray benchmark score your cpu scores 8500 samples, while threadripper pro 5995wx scores 62000 samples this means that cpu is 7 times faster when it comes to at least rendering. So there you have it!
