Is anyone up for a new round of benchmarking a scene with all of the x64, dual-core cpus floating around now.
I’d like to see how things are comparing.
neoVisual created a great benchmark scene that people were using with 1.46.10 -- maybe that could be the standard?
Im up for it…well next week when i get my kit. 
I will have some 830’s to kick around soon too.
haha funny. I was just thinking the same thing the other day when I was 3d doodling. I have a pretty intense cornell box scene I could donate. Glossies, reflections, refractions, the works.
looks like a good test scene ..
RErender:
how come not the XE 840’s?
percydaman:
Nice scene, Donate away
$$$
the EE is only some percent faster but over 3x more expensive. If I was only building a couple of boxes I might reconsider but 20 of these should make a nice addition to the farm.
Anyone got any links?
The stuff I have seen so far is that the Dual core Opterons are wasted by most software - actually slower than dual Opterons of the same clock speed because of poor software implementation.
However, Vray is amongst the very best I have seen in using multiple CPUs, so I am keen to see if Vray is an exception.
The new dual core Athlon 64 X2 looks promising… but I want to see VRAY scores! :?
I can’t remember what site these are from but some good info.
hey Percy, Id like to give that scene a shot just built a new box with an AMD 4400X2, Asus A8N SLI board, 2x 74 gig WD raptors and an EVGA 7800 GTX, only 1 gig of ram so far though…

okay give me a few to get it ready for consumption.
okay heres the file: http://myweb.cableone.net/amylenhart/cornelltest.zip
Its a max 6 file. I would ask that you just open and render and not mess with the settings so that its the same for everyone. I purposely made the settings pretty close to default. Its also already setup to show a stamp in the vfb with vray version, cpu, memory and all that. It should take a bit to chug through so that we have a wider representation of rendertimes.

Nice same CPU and Video card as what im getting
hehehe its a damn fast combo!!
percydaman:
Thanks for the link.
Im gonna benchmark my current machine and then with the new one when i get it. Should be interesting.
Dual Xeon benchmark
here’s mine:
dual xeon, max 7, VRay 1.47.03, 1h 11m.
I changed the size of the frame stamp font, hope it doesn’t affect the rendertimes much :lol:
Oh god. I need a new computer now. S*!t.
Athlon XP 3200 64 bit
Win XP SP2
Max 7.5
2 Gigs PC3200
R2J2, is yours 533 or 800? I wonder why mine is at 2997
mines 800, that is strange yours is only 2997 were did that last 2 go?
ahhh geezus my time is pathetic… LOL
Its a good thing im getting that upgrade 
Athlon 2700+
2 x xeon3.6 + HT
