creasia Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I am just finalizing an order for a system with an i7 980 and and Nvidia Geforce 470 or 480 video card and am glad someone caught me just before jumping off the diving board. http://www.3datstech.com/ Has a specific mention of a software bug in 3DS Max involving 12 core Hyperthreading. I notice that cinebench scores show a huge improvement from the phenom X6 1100T to the i7 980 but not so much with maya and 3DS max. It seems to me that buying the Phenom X6 would be the best investment, unless Max 2012 has tapped into this power somehow. Does anyone know if this issue has been fixed or if there is a way around it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Don't worry, that bug is with 12 core dual Xeons with HT, not 6 core i7s, and apparently it's been fixed in the latest 2012 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
