I'm sorry for very long post but I was too lazy to link the files.

[slobodan]

Ok, I forgot specs:

Windows xp sp2 32bit
Asus K8N - DL
4x 512MB OCZ4001024elerdc-k RAM
Dual Opteron 248 2.2GHz
Ati FireGL V7100

[slobodan]

you are welcome,

Glad that I can help.

[thomas lacroix]

i find odd that the dual xeon 3.2 seems slower than the 2.8 so as the opteron 248...

are the graphics updated?

[thomas lacroix]

found this an wanted to know if someone got latest rendertimes with the teapot scene and maxwell B1.33... thanks



final render stage1 V 1.3.0.0

i know it is difficult to compare two render engine
( even if i prefer the maxwell one because indirect lights shows more, render times can sometime be an issue ... )



maxwell render alpha 1-1-0-0001 ( done in november 2004)

thanks
