...exactly, ...it's set to render til SL=16.

[Hervé]

ahhh Chris knows better than me.. all good Chrsito !

(what a monster machine you have here... ou lala.. almost hurts..)

Wow thats a fast time to get to SL16. I wont even bother testing it on mine - by the time my render gets to SL16 technology will have progressed and the Intel standard will be a 32 core chip using laser transistors.

anybody know why XP is faster??

Known issue that affects all MacOS users, can't say why.

Maybe the 64bit version and Leopard will play better. I'm really looking forward to compare 1.2 on Linux.

Version 1.1 UB was released in order to give compatibility to intel macs, we were not thinking very hard on performance, our interest was in having a bug free intel version. For 1.2 we have put a lot of care in trying to achieve te best performance on OSX intel also. We have still not done Windows vs Mac benchmark but probably there won't be much difference between both in the next version, and if there is any,I don't really know which platform will be faster.

thanks for the reply--wasn't concerned about the difference, just curious since it was running on the same machine

Update of the db with the last tests plus the the winner of the macmini in the last mxm contest, thanx rosario
Special thanx to sandy, sorry for the mistake and nachob for the osx speed explanation

[ivox3]

I am happy to report that all is right in the world today.




The extra 2GB stick finally showed up the other day, ... just found the time to drop it in a little bit ago ....

Chris - congrats on the new system! Hopefully Maxwell 1.2 will scale better. One thing that may be hurting you is having only a single stick of ram. Having four matched 512 sticks has lower latency than having 1 2gb stick since all eight cores are fighting to use the same stick of ram. Adding another 2gb stick should help.

Just a little Greg ...

Watching the write cycles in task mgr, ..everything totally levelled out.

Wow

Very clever Mr Bond.....very clever indeed....

[JDHill]

oh boy...that's just sick.

Bugger Me thats fast!!!!!

[deadalvs]

well, FINALLY do did it !

nice ... !

One other thing, ...we really need the material preview to be multi-core, ..it's really bottleneck otherwise.

It's already multi threaded
