NEW Benchmark scene (Max 8 Vray RC3 required)

[EricCamper]

My experience with the one I have has been right on. I mean a scene that took an hour before is taking 6 minutes, about 10 times faster than my old Dual 3.0ghz. So for that I am pleased. Of course the scenes I am working on now are taking 20 minutes to render and are taking 200 minutes on a dual core that we have here... I was really looking for the difference in percentage in the 5355 vs say a 5310 or 5320. For the price and stuff I dont mind getting something a little slower. Are you saying you were dissapointed my the Quads performance..Or is that just becuase you had a newer machine and expected better? I was spoiled cause my other machine blows in comparision. LOL...But thanx for the link and advice...Keep it coming..

mobo : ASUS P5K Deluxe (same as Premium)
CPU : Q6600 stepping G0 2.4ghz@3.75
Full watercooling : CPU, north and southbridge.
8 Gb ram (DDR2 4x2Gb 1000Mhz)
XP pro 64
VRay 1.5 SP1
1min19sec

damn 3.75!

damn 3.75!

it boots up to 4300GHz but its only full stable at 3.75Ghz with 1.44V ( rather than its stock VID near 1.3V)
But its a very very good price/performance ratio compared to all those dual XEON combos that are at least 5x ( and some time 10x...) more expensive.

-All you need is a very good cooling solution = no air cooling, it sucks
-A very good PSU : mine is an udge 1000W PSU with a litle 80A on a SINGLE 12V rail... (Olympia 1000).
-You also need not to have a 1502 pc farm in order to be interested in my words regarding the OC of a standalone workstation

Just tested one of our new machines:

BOXX W8400 Special Edition

Xeon Dual core X5482 @ 3.2 Ghz
8 GB Ram

55 sec.

[visumporec]

TomC, it's one or two xeon X5482 processors inside?
I see something very slowly in 55 sec compare to Dual X5365 - 47 sec

This is unfortunately with two of them. It is right out the box and I'm gonna take a look what could be holding it back. (Killing the vrayspawner that was running in the background already shaved two seconds off )

I saw I did the render with SP1 and the other one was with the full version ... could it influence that much?

Anyway, I'm not gonna cry over it ... I like the machine

Tom - Did you set the light cache passes to 8 vs. the default 4?

laptop benchmark

Here is my new Alienware m15x laptop. with the new dual core x9000 2.8 ghz penryn, 4g ram(32bit), 8800gtx, vista 32. Not bad for a lappy. Its not 1 minute but I can take it places and render if I have to. Plus the whole thing lights up different colors.

[DaForce]

That strikes me as alot slower than it should be. Its showing as 656mhz

[ene.xis]

yap...at first i thought i should get some sleep, as my eyes were playing me tricks...

[RErender]

Need to turn of all that sissy battery saving, meltdown stopping stuff

Latecomer...

Hey guys, another dual x5355 with 8gigs ram. A minute and 8 seconds. I bought the second core a few weeks ago on ebay for 420bucks. oem, never installed. I'm glad it works.

[Infrared digital]

Just wondering, do the Xeons have one or two processors ?

[DaForce]

Can be 1, 2 or 4 cpu's. per motherboard. (the 4 cpu motherboard are rare)
They mostly have 4 cores each cpu nowdays, however you can still buy dual core xeons I believe.

Most people here will have dual quad core xeons. Meaning a total of 8 cores.

[Infrared digital]

Do you know if any of the people with these dual processor xeons written up the full specs of their machines ?
