warprat Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hello, I'm looking into buying a new workstation for my office. at the moment we are using, Quad core 2.4, 2gb ram, 8800 nvidia gpu. Im thinking of a xeon 4core x2 4gb ram 8800 nvidia gpu need to find a good mobo. has anyone had the privelage of using a xeon 8 core workstation? I need to know the difference regarding speed of rendering with 3dmax 8 and vray 1.5rc3. Is there a big difference? if so how big or small? Im on a bit of a budget. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
