Hi guys.
I bought a monster pc.
Specs:
Intel i7 x990 6-core 3.47ghz(3.76 overcloacked)
Nvidia quadro 6000
ssd HD
24gb of ram 1600hz.
Software I'm using-
3ds max 2011 64-bit
Windows 7 pro 64-bit
V-ray 1.5 sp5 64-bit
I'm very exited about the new pc.
when I started rendering a scene In v-ray ,I opened the task manager to check the CPU and ram memory usage I saw that all 6 cores were maxes at 100%, BUT v-ray was using only 3.9 gb of ram.
Now I know that vray and 3ds max use as much memory as they need. And I know that in scenes with lots of trees and proxies and displacement I would get a higher usage of ram memory.
BUT-
The question is : in scenes with little to no proxies and displacement, can I use my extra ram memory ( I have a LOT extra ram going to waste) to speed up rendering.
And if yes how?
