"WOW ! This is GREAT News ! THANKS ! Seriously. Since in-viewport rendering (as far s I'm aware) happens on the GPU with only final renders taking place back at the main processor, this could be a real game changer. SO- It ssems that the right…"

(PC) Desktop specs for optimized rendering?

Hi all, My architectural studio mates and I are Rhino users for modeling (we're mostly on v4 sr9) and we render with V-ray for Rhino. We are all on laptop machines that are more or less a year old:…Continue

Jon replied to Michael Viviano's discussion '(PC) Desktop specs for optimized rendering?'"Some news from Chaos about Vray for Rhino popped up on their page today. Looks like they are going RT like 3ds, so there will be more of a load on the GPU. Looks like Im going to have to start filling in the vid slots of my machines in…"

" ... it makes a direct comparison difficult. Intel may score higher in some benchmarks and AMD in others, depends on the tasks."
Spot-on CORRECT ! (in my humble opinion ...!)
Yeah, I'm seriously considering the option of…"
Jon replied to Michael Viviano's discussion '(PC) Desktop specs for optimized rendering?'"Most of the information posted thus far has been correct. The intels have been doing much better than the AMDs in most situations. I have also seen some reports that the 2700 is outperforming new bulldozer chips when using vray for 3ds.…"

Currently, the hi-end Intel core I7's are outperforming AMD. But since there's a myriad of versions to choose from, it makes a direct comparison difficult. Intel may score higher in some benchmarks and AMD in others,…"

This agrees with my experience, too. Your input that the "buckets" get shared across cores really clears up that piece of the puzzle for me, but makes me want those extra 2 cores available in a 6-core processor !!! How do you think…"
Alan Crighton replied to Michael Viviano's discussion '(PC) Desktop specs for optimized rendering?'"Charles,
Brazil for Rhino (and I think Vray and Maxwell also) utilize all possible cores to the rendering process. Rendering is performed in small regions called buckets, and each bucket is rendered by an individual core. Therefore, a 4 core will…"

I find your reply to be SPOT-ON ! GOOD coverage of the main-processor vs Vid card for rendering. CLEARLY some work lies ahead for developers in this area, but for now I'd say you pretty well nailed it !
Just a couple of clarifying…"
Alan Crighton replied to Michael Viviano's discussion '(PC) Desktop specs for optimized rendering?'"Forgot to add, additional processor cooling would be a great addition, running all cores at 100% increases processor temp quite a bit. An after market liquid cooler can be had for $75 - $100."
Alan Crighton replied to Michael Viviano's discussion '(PC) Desktop specs for optimized rendering?'"Michael,
Building, or more accurately, assembling, a machine will be the best route to take, and save a bundle vs. buying a hi-end PC from one of the major manufacturers. I built my own system for rendering purposes, as my workstation grade laptop…"

Hi all, My architectural studio mates and I are Rhino users for modeling (we're mostly on v4 sr9) and we render with V-ray for Rhino. We are all on laptop machines that are more or less a year old: some high-end-ish PC builds and lots of MacBook Pros. We're all running, for the most part, on 8GB RAM and have some level of "upgraded" video cards. All that said, we tend to run into memory issues with Rhino, especially when baking complex geometries from Grasshopper parametric work, and often…See More
