Hello!
It's strange after more than one year on the market and for the price, but on my both workstation systems and on other's too I can observe dramatic speed downgrade when rendering in Maxwell V4 (4.1.1.1 and all previous versions too) in comparison to V3 (3.2.1.5). Even the V4 version where it was claimed that speed issue was resolved and speed is the same as V3 - it's obviously not the same for V4 but 4.5 times longer rendering. Please, note that I don't talk about denoiser. Let's talk about workflow without denoiser, because it eats some small texture details when used.
My main workstation configuration is next:
2x CPU Xeon 2698 V4 (20 cores (40 threads) each)
MB ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS
8x16GB DDR4-2400 ECC Registered
etc.
I want to ask anyone who can help with this question, especially Maxwell dev team.
Can this speed issue be resolved soon, or is it impossible due to particular architectural changes made in V4 and maybe related to addition of GPU rendering?
Or generally can I get with some update for Maxwell V4 same speed +-5% as for Maxwell V3?
It depends on this question because I can't buy and use it for my needs with such speed flaws.
I attach Benchwell results on specified workstation for you to compare.
