With the launch of Nvidia’s RTX A6000 video card, we look at how well these cards scale in multi-GPU configurations for rendering in Redshift, OctaneRender, and V-Ray.
Best Workstation PC for Unreal Engine (Spring 2021)
Unreal Engine is being used by a wide ranger of industries and not just game development. Each industry uses Unreal a little differently, and as such, requires different hardware to optimize their workflow. We’ll look at a few of the more popular use cases, and review the best hardware for each.
How Fast is the new Multi-Frame Rendering in After Effects 18.1 BETA?
One of the most common hardware complaint you will hear about After Effects is that it doesn’t take advantage of the higher core count CPUs that are common in today’s workstations. In the new After Effects 18.1 BETA, however, Adobe is introducing a new feature called Multi-Frame Rendering which should vastly speed up render times when you have a higher core count processor.
NVLink Performance in DaVinci Resolve 17.0
In version 17.0, Blackmagic added “Support for NVLink high speed interconnect with supported NVIDIA GPUs”. But does this feature actually increase performance in Windows 10, or are you better off leaving it disabled?
Cinema 4D – AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s new Threadripper Pro CPUs are here, combining many of the features from their Threadripper and EPYC CPU lines including increased memory and PCI-E capability. But are these extra features useful for Cinema 4D, or should you stick with the normal Threadripper processors?
V-Ray – AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s new Threadripper Pro CPUs are here, combining many of the features from their Threadripper and EPYC CPU lines including increased memory and PCI-E capability. But are these extra features useful for V-Ray, or should you stick with the normal Threadripper processors?
Unreal Engine – AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s new Threadripper Pro CPUs are here, combining many of the features from their Threadripper and EPYC CPU lines including increased memory and PCI-E capability. But are these extra features useful for Unreal Engine, or should you stick with the normal Threadripper processors?
NVIDIA NVLink 2021 Update and Compatibility Chart
Using NVLink requires a physical bridge between two identical NVIDIA graphics cards, but with the new generation of Ampere-based GeForce RTX 30 Series and RTX A-series video cards which bridges work with which GPUs?
Adobe Photoshop – AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s new Threadripper Pro CPUs are here, combining many of the features from their Threadripper and EPYC CPU lines including increased memory and PCI-E capability. Photoshop may not be a prime candidate for this platform, but since it is one of the most widely used applications in the creative community, we wanted to see how Threadripper Pro compares to both the AMD Threadripper and Ryzen processors.
Adobe After Effects – AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s new Threadripper Pro CPUs are here, combining many of the features from their Threadripper and EPYC CPU lines including increased memory and PCI-E capability. The amount of RAM you have available for After Effects is often critical, but is Threadripper Pro worth the cost in order to get up to 2TB of RAM, or should you stick with the Ryzen or Threadripper line of processors?
