Scene "spots" problem

Re: Scene "spots" problem

I was wondering if really each thread uses the 2.6 Ghz(or whatever you bought) ?
so with i7 you get 2.6 Ghz x 8
Whereas quad uses 2.6 x4

Right?

Yes thats right, and the new i7980x has 12 usable threads, very nice but pricey!

Thats a LOT of power for one machine

Re: Scene "spots" problem

There's a group in Texas called Boxx. I bought a machince last year that is the i7-965 quad core (8 virtual cores which equals 8 buckets when rendering). The i7-965 is the one you can overclock and Boxx overclocks this 3.20GHz CPU to 4.0 in the factory and warranties it. It requires a pretty good power supply and liquid cooling but you can barely hear it when it's rendering.

It's a beast, I love my compy. Call it a bump, but I would definitely recommend these guys for anyone looking for a render machine.

They are nice machines Omega, but I built my own same spec machine for less than they sell them for by sourcing the components myself.

Re: Scene "spots" problem

will asgvis plan to render using gpu's? or will they continue using cpu for rendering?
I also built my own spec. though it is only core i5 hehe

ASGVis doesn't make the V-Ray render engine. Just the plugin that connects SU or Rhino to V-Ray. Chaosgroup are the ones making V-Ray and the SDK that ASGVis use.
