Corona Alpha4 Benchmark scene

[danielmn]

Hey guys,
just pondering the idea of what else I can do to my machine to make it a faster corona best.

I have a
Intel Core i7 I7‑4930K 3.4 GHz 6‑core Processor

with 16GB of ram not sure of the specs on that.

But wanted to know if add to my Ram would speed things up and maybe switching to an SSD

Overclocking of the existing CPU or buying of a new faster CPU can help you speed up

Adding Ram or getting an SSD wont speed up anything, provided the Scene is smaller than your 16 gigs. Since Parsing times are small anyways, an SSD wont speed up anything, expect 3dsmax opening times. You already have a good CPU, an upgrade makes only sense if you go to the current haswell flagship, (eg. 1000$ 5960x). Otherwise, get yourself a cheap cooler, eg. Hyper212 EVO for 25$ and overclock like a mad man. Expect 5%-20% improvment, depending on silicon lottery.
If you want more power you have to get into distributed rendering, no other way.

Dam indeed!

[danielmn]

thanks SairesArt and headoff

I appreciate the comment, yeah I think i just going to invest in more over clocking making the jump to a renderfarm solution.

Interesting thing that a 12 core OC i73930K 4,2GHz beats a dual e2630 24core 2,60GHz non OC. 50,4GHz vs 62,4GHz!!! Any ideas why?

[tomislavn]

We demand Corona 1.0 benchmark standalone now :) This one is quite irrelevant already!

EDIT: @Holy - A4 benchmark doesn't use dual processors, you can divide the time you got in half for a closer result.

[Holy]

Ok thanks, never read that. Any chance for a distributed rendering option in the next benchmark? Got 40 dual e5-2630 waiting here :-)

After 100 pass its steel noisy....
