NEW Benchmark scene (Max 8 Vray RC3 required)

[aaron-cds]

I'll try that. It's certainly worth a try. However, I would assume RC 4 was given to testers and the rest of us just need to wait patiently. I just hope RC 4 gets here before my dongle does

Mac Pro, dual 5365, 8gb ram, quadro 4500.

Max9 64bit on xp64



vergefio did it in 55sec on a dual 5355 so not sure why mine is so "slow"..

/Thomas

Yes, i didn't mention my 5355 was clocked at 3125Mhz, got 52sec at 3,2Ghz though (rock solid).

Sorry about that

nice times there thomas.
to follow up on aaron's question. is the slow material editor with xp 64 vray related? i agree its getting really frustrating.

In short, yes.

[suurland]

well vergefio.. that explains a lot

But you and other really have to write it's overclocked, else it goes wrong when people try to do some stats on all the numbers.

vergefio, is there any good info in overclocking the quad xeons?

[vergefio]

Thomas, you're right, sorry again but i was in hurry

@ jacksc02

Well, I think the most complete thread over the net about overclocking woodcrest and clowertown is the follow:

Pratically you have to use systool to overclock via windows your quad system for all x5000 chipset (not for intel boards because of a laser-cut bridge). Keep in mind these rigs MUST be kept cool under overclock and possibly liquid cooled. Hope that helps

excellent, I have a dual quad 2ghz that im setting up now

[aaron-cds]

dual quad core 2.66 ghz (x5355), 4 gb ram xp 64 (lc passes set to 8, not 4)

[jacksc02]

aaron- is your 5355 overclocked to 2.66?

[aaron-cds]

no

[vlado]

I suppose we will soon need yet another benchmark then

Best regards,
Vlado

[jacksc02]

yeah we will!
How is the Dual quad 3ghz vlado?

[thomasrieger]

How good is a single xeon quadcore E5345 2,33 ghz.
Do you think the X6700 is faster, and how much?

Thanks

Tom

[jacksc02]

if you get a single xeon you can only put it on a dual socket board so your better off getting 2 xeons and getting a kick arse machine!
