    first double-CPU build

    Sorry wirk, but the E5-2630 is 8 core hypertreding just like your E5-1680. So if you make your calculations I'll have 16 cores and you just have 8. Although it is preferable for most applications to have a higher clock than the number of cores, this is not exactly true for a render engine...

    first double-CPU build

    This machine is going to be used for rendering CGI and post-production. There are some small details I'm not too sure so a little advice would be great. Mobo: ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS CPU: Xeon E5-2630 v3 2,4 GHz Memory: Kingston ValueRam DDR4 PSU: Seasonic X-1250 HSF: NOCTUA NH-12DX i4 GPUs...

    ASUS & HardOCP 20th Anniversary GTX 980 Gold Edition Lucky Draw

    oh gee! this one is a [H]ard one, maybe I should open up a thread and ask for some advice Concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs seams to be a common answer

    several issues on my ga x58a-ud7

    Well, no luck. I went back until the first driver upon release but still the same. So I don't relay understand what is going on. Maybe I have to format and do a clean install. But what bothers me the most is that eventually the problem comes back. For now I will just boot into Windows without...

    GTX vs. Quadro vs. AMD FirePro

    I found some great articles about Quadro Maxwell and AMD's latest FirePro. For my purpose I'll go with Quadro and still looking at the K2200. Seams they have improved a lot form the Kepler based K2000 or the Fermi. Since they cost almost the same (new not used) I don't see a point in going back...

    several issues on my ga x58a-ud7

    runs2far I have not modified the mobo in any way. I used Qflash and tried to install the FD version, but as far as I remember it wouldn't let me. I don't recall the exact warning it gave me but I'm pretty certain it said something about not having enough space. So I went with the FC version...

    several issues on my ga x58a-ud7

    Just restarted everything. Jeez did I sweat to get this SATA cable in the right spot. I had to take out my MSI Lightning GTX680, did some cleaning while I was in there and filed up some cooling liquid. Yes I know, it seams I'm talking about my car :D but I'm still talking about my PC. So...

    GTX vs. Quadro vs. AMD FirePro

    At first I took a look at the K620 but since my experience with the K600 was not to great the next step would be a K2200. So how far back should I go, Fermi based or older??

    OK, I'll give it a try. My USB should work with Renesas (Nec)

    GTX vs. Quadro vs. AMD FirePro

    So I just found this wonderful review from Tom's Hardware http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-workstation-graphics-card,3493.html and this one which is about the same time http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/graphics/display/nvidia-quadro-amd-frirepro.html I think a K2200 is not a bad idea...

    GTX vs. Quadro vs. AMD FirePro

    No typo, the driver is Nitrous Direct3D 11 which is used by default. Your right, it uses the DirectX11 and you can chose Direct3D9, Legacy Direct3D and Legacy OpenGL. So right now I'm using DirectX11 via the Nitrous display driver. So the fact is that my GTX680 is the exact same hardware than...

    several issues on my ga x58a-ud7

    So I put together my PC during October 2010 and it has been running without trouble for years. Specs: GA X58a-ud7 (rev 2.0) Intel i7 930 @2.80GHz Patriot memory 12Gbytes DDR3 1333LL Series MSI Lightning GTX 680 I have been overclocking the CPU and GPU but have stopped doing so...

    GTX vs. Quadro vs. AMD FirePro

    I'm not trying to upgrade my GTX680 but a Titan X would be nice, especially for GPU rendering. My problem is that any GTX card does not have the Pro features from Quadro/FirePro. I need a 30bit able card with up to date drivers for all the above mentioned software. I found AMD to be better in...

    GTX vs. Quadro vs. AMD FirePro

    So I have been at this for a while now, reading every thing I could find. Right now I'm running an MSI Lightning GTX 680 witch is based on the Kepler and has 256 Bit bus width and 192 GB/s of bandwidth. It also supports anything form CUDA to OpenCL, DirectCompute etc. As a CGI artist I use...
