We take a look at the differences between the Intel Z370 chipset, launched in 2017, and the updated Z390 that launched in 2018. What features does the newer version add?
Cinema 4D: AMD Threadripper 2990WX Performance
AMD just updated their high-performance Threadripper processor series, and the new top-end model – the 2990WX – has given the highest Cinebench multi-core score we’ve seen from a single CPU. This article will look at how it stacks up to the older Threadripper 1950X and a selection of Intel chips… and just as importantly, how it performs in single-core mode.
V-Ray CPU Rendering: AMD Threadripper 2990WX Takes the Single CPU Performance Crown
AMD just updated their high-performance Threadripper processor series, and the new top-end model – the 2990WX – is the fastest single CPU we’ve ever tested in V-Ray. This article will look at how it stacks up to other AMD and Intel chips, as well as Intel’s dual Xeon configurations.
Redshift 2.5.72 vs 2.6.11 Performance Comparison
Redshift is a GPU-based rendering engine, which recently updated from version 2.5.72 to 2.6.11. That update added compatibility with NVIDIA’s Volta GPU architecture, and cards like the Titan V, but did it also improve render speeds?
Redshift 2.6.11 GPU Performance Comparison
Redshift is a GPU-based rendering engine, and the latest version 2.6.11 introduced compatibility with NVIDIA’s Volta graphics architecture and cards like the Titan V. Lets take a look at how different GeForce and Titan models perform.
Redshift 2.6.11 Multi-GPU Performance Scaling
Redshift is a GPU-based rendering engine, but how well does its performance scale when multiple video cards are used in a system?
Agisoft PhotoScan 1.4.1 – Apple iMac Pro and Mac Pro vs PC Workstations
PhotoScan makes heavy use of both the central processors (CPUs) in a computer and the video cards (GPUs) to run many of the calculations involved in turning still images into a 3D model or map. Agisoft, the makers of PhotoScan, have versions available for both Windows and macOS – so let’s take a look at how these two, competing computer platforms compare.
Titan V Multi GPU Performance Scaling in OctaneRender
Now that OctaneRender has been updated to support the Volta GPU architecture, how well does its performance scale when using multiple Titan Vs? And how does that compare to other popular rendering cards like the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti?
Is the Titan V a Good GPU for OctaneRender?
As of version 3.08, the Volta GPU architecture is now supported in OctaneRender. How does it stack up compared to other Titan and GeForce series graphics cards – in terms of both performance and value?
Does the CPU Matter for OctaneRender?
OctaneRender is a GPU-based rendering engine, so the bulk of the processing it does is carried out on the video cards in a system. Different processors and motherboards can impact the number of cards that can fit in a single system, but do they matter beyond that? Does the CPU itself have any impact on rendering speed/performance?
