How do these specs look? 2rd generation Intel Core i7-3930 3.20GHz processor; delivers outstanding processing power for your system 64GB of DDR3 memory; tons of resources to provide awesome task handling performance NVIDIA Quadro 4000 GPU; astonishing graphics using 2GB of video memory 2TB hard dr…

That is a very interesting benchmark there. Look how similar the mildly overclocked single-CPU 3930k system is, and would cost less or the same to build. I’m running mine at 4ghz, with 32GB RAM. The new 5960X will be 8-core and should reach 4ghz as well, with decent cooling. So you’ll get most likel…

I’m the same - if I can get the same overall grunt but in a single cpu machine I’d rather that for all the programs that have multithreaded limitations.

[image] On another topic Oh god, I just noticed by running the same cinebench test that IT at my job really doesn’t do a good job when it comes down to setting up their computers. I’ve been working more than a year on a computer that also has hyperthreading disabled…1.44x slower, that could’ve s…

[image] Noisy Hdri ouch… I asked them, turns out they do it on purpose because of this: -Hyperthreading is only interesting when a few cores are used -when they are all in use, the computer works faster when it’s disabled -for daily use (not rendering) it’s better this is disabled …

I am almost never not rendering. :wink:

I had my scene texture mapped so I hit render and ran to the restroom. Typically, on my old workstation, it would have taken a few hours, or so. I expected to stop it while it was calculating the light cache. But, to my amazement, 4k was completely done in 17 minutes. I had displacement and grass, b…

So you took your usual 2 hour poop, only to find you’ll now have to cut it down to 17 minutes! This may take some training.

Ah, but think of all the time you’re now going to waste while your emails open up 1.4x slower!

That is quite funny. Maybe they’r running off 5 year old information, it hasnt always been worth turning on.
