michaelgia Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 This is my Riverstone Ray Trace 1200 X 745 Uniform Intensity 1.0 No Photon Mapping 10 Passes Total time = 55:41 Almost an hour on my Imac mid 2011 Intel i5 16gig ram AMD Radeon 512MB (my plans usually only take 5 to 8 minutes, obviously quite a few gazillion less surfaces in my plans. lol) I see why this isn't a popular exhibition. It's pretty humbling if you don't have a monster machine. Although I can honestly say that I never experienced Chief as a laggy program on my computer. I never felt the need to upgrade.

TheKitchenAbode Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks for posting. Will discuss the differences later but it is not the number of surfaces. The sample I posted was 1200 X 612 with photon mapping turned on. If you have it turned off the exterior lights will not show properly. If you run again just do 1 pass, the time per pass is exactly the same so 10 passes = time for 1 pass X 10. Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-C Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hey Steve did that price include the monitor? Negative. The monitor was $500 and worth every stinkin' penny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPDesign Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I was curious after reading your results. Here are my passmark results. I am pleased and its been running at 4ghz or more for 4 years. I did just add the new gtx 960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thanks for those figures Michael. Interesting to see the 3D figure for the 960 versus the 980. Half the performance. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKitchenAbode Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Just be careful when interperting those system/component performance numbers. That #6 unit is heavily tricked out. You can use the Baseline options to locate and organize the comparative systems or it may be best to through-out the top two and bottom two to get a better picture, especially when one really jumps out way ahead of the pack.

KenL-sdd Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Here are the passmark results for my pc. I7-5960x Clocked to 4.5 Ghz.. PCI-e NvMe c-drive. Notice the drive speed @ 13633. A normal ssd is about 3500-3900. PCI-e ROCKS!!! I'm a firm believer that when I upgrade I go to about the top of the line. I run HUGE drawings. The one i am in now is about 25 MB and only into the end of preliminary's. No framing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost as fast as the fastest Xeon. Pretty impressive. 4.5 is a pretty ripping OC. Any cooling problems? Which mother board? Coolers?

KenL-sdd Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thanks Ken, which brand motherboard? Asus ROG Motherboard. Great product. I also run a Asus ROG laptop with a ssd. Works great in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham From what I am seeing #6 is a pretty typical I-7 -5820 intel processor. The average cpu mark is 12991 the benchmark for #6 was 12868 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Here's a quick cost breakdown of one option with a 5960X CPU, gtx 980ti etc. With a new PCI M.2 ssd add about $350 - $500. Build it and overclock it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build it and overclock it yourself. computer wish list.PNG Larry, One of the things that speed up the system is the Intel 750 pci-express 3.0 400gb drive or equal. This speeds up undos, etc. Anyone that is looking to upgrade to a new system needs to look seriously at this type of drive. Cpu's are fast but one of the major slowdowns is the i/o to the hard drive. This solves the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
