Not sure if this is related to vray, but any opinions would be appreciated. Last weekend, I sent a backburner job to 14 render machines on our local farm. The network is 1GB. We have 8 old machines, 3 new machines and 3 workstation machines that were being used in the job. There was no GI in the j…

did the fast frames look any different to the slow ones?

yep they look pretty identical. cant imagine what would cause that odd difference. normally youd have one machine that was slower than the rest. but to have one thats 3 times faster is strange to say the least. id find out what is wrong with that machine and make sure all the others get the…

Hahaha. I guess I need to find some piece of benchmarking software to run on the 3 VISION machines that will test everything. Cinebench? As far as I know (I only built them a couple of weeks ago) they are identical apart from the power supplies!

ahh thatll be it. the power supply is giving the pc more POWER! cinebench is probably a good test in this case. interested to know the final reason for this…

If its not the power supply I would definitely recommend checking your bios settings. I remember changing some bios settings and the system ran very slowly…cant remember what it was..sorry if that’s not very helpful.

There’s a thing called a snoop filter that caused a load of intel and xeon machines to run slow on supermicro boards - might be an equivalent for you?

One thing that I *think* is different about the odd machine is that TweekUI was making the machine autologin. All other machines have backburner and spawner running as a service on an administrator account. The fast machine also has them running as services on the admin account, but it is actually l…

I would return the good ones to exchange them for defect ones like vision 3, and I’ll ask for a discount too :slight_smile:

They don’t seem to. Here are a couple of test frames. Same spec PC rendered each one. They both have a RAID 0 set up with the same hard disks. Both on XP64 SP2. Same motherboards.
