  1. Hi, Looking for some advise if anyone has the time on a the specs of a new GPU */ 3ds max-Vray RT render node. I am wanting to build a machine with 4 x 1080ti cards, and*I have a few question if anyone wants to chime in much appreciated -What impact does the CPU have on a GPU rendering machine - ie can I basically pick the cheapest intel i7 I can find? -Motherboard specs? I see in some of the commercially pre built systems from various vendors they seem to use workstation motherboards and xeons, (at greater expense) is there any reason for this over say a gaming atx baord with 4 card slots? -What impact does RAM have...? -Power supply, I am assuming a 1500W would be required.* -Of the cards available, anyone recommend a particular brand? Does a factory overclocked card offer a significant performance increase? Here's my initial spec based on my assumptions above...which may or may not be reasonable!* https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rYFdTH Intel - Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor Corsair - H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler*Asus - SABERTOOTH X99 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard Crucial - 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory Samsung - 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Gaming OC 11G Video Card (2-Way SLI) x 2 (will become 4 eventually) NZXT - Phantom 820 (Black) ATX Full Tower Case Corsair - AX1500i 1500W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply Total:** *$2884.80 USD * * * * * Thoughts? Thanks!
  2. Ok for anyone interested it was down to having a Vray DistTex set to display in the viewport on my material, click that off and everything works fine...scene size and complexity had no effect...weird.
  3. Hi, Lately I seem to be getting a lag in my viewport on object creation, (orbiting is fine, creating lights cameras etc are fine). For example if I draw a plane nothing appears after the first click until have dragged the opposite corner out and clicked again then the plane appears. Same goes Lines, instead of seeing the object 'drag' itself out to size get nothing until I click the end point.....needless to say its driving me nuts! Any ideas? ( I have tried deleting my AppData folder as suggested on The A, but no avail) I'm running quite a new workstation, specs as follows: 3ds Max 2014 SP5 installed. Win 7 x64 32G DDR$ RAM GTX 970 i7 5820K
