[Q2]

Hi everyone

Rendering a 10000x10000PX scene in maxwell render and my PC is only using about 5% of it's CPU power. Takes forever to get started and even my Mac Studio rendering the same file gets a much higher benchmark. What is going on? PC benchmark 291 vs MacStudio M1 benchmark 895!!!

Any ideas? Maxwell Studio and Maxwell Render are running as administrator . Does anyone have an idea what is wrong here? Cheers Q!

Here is the Maxwell Benchmark Test Render... USING ALLDA POWER!!!! .... WHY?

We have in our Studio a 3990x
never had a problem like this.

We noticed ( sometimes ) a reduced workload using the FIRE preview.

1) have you checked the Priority before launching the rendering?

Usually if you’re not working on the same machine even choosing low priority, the Rendering engine will work at max frequency and max utilization, but if you’re working in other Software while rendering, choosing low priority, could potentially reduce the cpu utilization for Maxwell render.

But 5% utilization is anyway too low.

2) check if this happen with ALL your project

3) check if this happen within the already included scene in Maxwell Render
( Maxwell render demo scenes )

3) can you zip and upload your project with WETRANSFER so we can try to check it out?

I suspect that either in your host app or Maxwell it somehow got set to use one thread. Make sure it is set to 0
