I’m using the system spec as below
DELL T7400
Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5472 @ 3.00GHz, 2992 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) (processor 1)
Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5472 @ 3.00GHz, 2992 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) (processor 2)
4GB DDR 800 FB DIMM (quad channel)
nVidia Quadro FX 4600 768MB
RAID 0 SAS (2 x 15k rpm drives)
3DS MAX 2009 (Direct X 9)
DELLT5400
Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5420 @ 2.50GHz, 2499 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
4GB DDR 667 FB DIMM (Dual Channel)
nVidia Quadro FX 1700 512MB
SATA 2 (1 x 10k rpm drive)
3DS MAX 2009 (Direct X 9)
My 8 cores workstation (T7400) taking longer rendering time compare to 4 cores less speed (T5400). I just want to know whats wrong with the rendering performance of my 8 cores system.
As what I understand, more processor cores + speed should render faster since 3DS Max support multithreading. Is there any workaround regarding this issue? Or it just Max 2009 does not yet optimized for more than 4 cores...?
Rendering time result as below:
T7400 (8 Cores) - 3 minutes 14 seconds/frame (standalone rendering)
T5400 (4 cores) - 1 minute 25 seconds/frame (standalone and network rendering)
The same issue happen to our 8 cores render nodes.
DELL Poweredge 1950 III - 11 to 17 minutes/frame (network rendering)
