NEW Benchmark scene (Max 8 Vray RC3 required)

[Blitterswitch]

Thats really impressive!! Dongle should arrive tomoz! I am very excited now.

MAX 9 64-bit, XP64, Vray 1.5 64 bit
Boxx Dual Quad Xeon 2.66, 4Gb Ram




MAX 9 64-bit, XP64, Vray 1.5 64 bit
Mac Pro Dual Quad Xeon 3.0, 9Gb Ram

Finally able to post so I thought my first post could be a benchmark

I'm totally shocked by the performance of Mac Pro of GregM. I wonder what that system costs...

Max 9 SP2 32bit, VRay 1.5 RC3
AMD Athlon 64 FX-72 Dual FX 2.8Ghz, 2MB - 2GB RAM
(Soon to be Quad FX - 4GB RAM)

Yeah the mac pro seams the way forward GregM whats xeon cpus are in them might look at building a similar type machine.

Just looked but not sure on the motherboard:

8-core processing
Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 series processors
Intel Core microarchitecture
8MB of L2 cache per processor (16MB total; each pair of cores shares 4MB)
128-bit SSE3 vector engine
64-bit data paths and registers
Energy efficiency optimization
1.33GHz, 64-bit dual independent frontside buses

[DaForce]

Yeah certainly for performance you would go with AMD at the moment. THe intels are just too fast.
Wether you buy it in PC form or a Mac it will still be damn fast.

Now try to bottom this on your actual Workstation:


XPsp1
P4 2,4Ghz NoHT
1gB ram
System build Date 12/2002

I'm totally shocked by the performance of Mac Pro of GregM. I wonder what that system costs...

The Mac Pro (with Intel 5365's)cost around $5000 ...and the Boxx system was about $6000

You can go to Apple's site and price one out. The trick is to buy Ram and hard drives from other vendors since Apple charges too much for those items. Prices should come down a bit after the Intel price drop.

You know, I think I might actually be able to do that :P
Except I have a P4 2.53Ghz with 2Gb Ram

[jujubee]

Home-built system
XP x64 - latest updates
Dual Quad-core Xeon 5355s 2.66
8 Gigs Ram

I have a bunch of stuff on the system that's probably eating resources.

[Janosik]

well

not too bad for my old opty s : max 9 win xp 32 bit, vray 1.50, 2,6 ghz 2*2 core,

time : 2:44 min

same set up at 2,8 ghz 2*2 core time : 2:30 min

[askhamdesign]

What motherboard are you using jujubee out of interest?

Specs are here:

[visumporec]

Any test with 4 way intel xeon 7300 series or 4 way opteron 8350?

[Blitterswitch]

I felt it was about time I posted on this thread!

This is my new workstation at work, cheap but very effective.

q6600 (no overclock - IT wont let me and besides... its an HP so no go anyway!)

8gb 667mhz DDR2



Machine at home run it in about 1:30 or so just by overclocking to 3ghz

@ blitterswitch

looks like you've double gamma'd your image or something when comparing it to the others in this thread...

also - which vray version + os are you using?
