But even when not doing anything I get playback stutters on something like the BBC iPlayer. Generally I find the speed when working OK-ish, but the loading of the files near the end of a project when they balloon in size is annoying.Īnother question that actually matches the OT, is it better to have 1 powerfull GPU or 2 lesser ones for viewport performance when using multiple screens? I have a GTX1080 and have 3 monitors hooked up to them (Dell's at 3x 2560x1440, DPI port). Currently thinking about upgrading to a 3970x setup but wondering where the bottleneck is for this issue.
The pc uses older dual Xeon E5-2680v2's with 128GB ram. (We don't have max file compression turned on to protect from file corruptions). At the moment we have a 3.5GB landscape scene, takes about 6-7 min to open in max. Should be very affordable as wellĭoes the speed of the Xeon's also impact the loading speed of scenes? We have a gigabit network with gigabit switch and ssd server (synology) but still heavy scenes take an age to open. Lets say a 2060 Super with 8 GB of VRAM is a good deal. If you run out of VRAM, you will experience even worse performance. The titan cards has the exact same viewport performance as the 1080tis or the 2080sĪnd something to note, is that on your 1050ti you only have 4 GB of VRAM. I have an i9 Overclocked to 4.8 GHz, I used to have 3x 1080Tis, then swapped 2 with Nvlinked 2080sĪnd now running one 2080 and 2x Titan RTXs. This really impacts everything, even your GPU's Raw performance I cannot stress enough how important having a newer CPU with a good single-threaded performance here, if you have an old Xeon that barely gets to 3 GHz you are missing out on life honestly. a 2070, 2080 or 2080ti will have the same viewport performance (because of the CPU frequnecy like what I explained) Long story short, a 2060/2060 super is the perfect fit for 3Ds Max viewport. At some point, the GPU would be fast enough, and actually the CPU frequency is going to be the bottleneck That being said, if you get a Titan RTX you won't get 10 times better viewport performance, this is not a linear scaling. Your 980ti probably could have been twice as fast Talking about your case specifically, a 1050ti is the bottleneck in your setup. Having a CPU with higher frequency is very useful The GPU has a big part in your viewport performance, but it is not the only piece that determines your hardware performance.
