Hardware / Better rig but 4x slower render.

« on: 2022-02-26, 06:20:53 »

Hey, I just built a new rig:
CPU: Intel i7-12700K
MoBo: MSI Pro Z690P
16GB x 2 DDR4 3200Mhz RAM
SSD: Samsung 1TB 970 EVO PLUS
RTX 3060 EAGLE OC 12GB
NOCTUA NH-u12S CHROMAX BLACK

and I have my old rig:
CPU: AMD RYZEN 1950X
MSI X399 SLI PLUS
RAM 8GB x 4 DDR4 2400Mhz
SSD: 250GB Samsung 970 Evo
HDD: 4TB Seagate
GTX 1060 6GT OCV2
CM Master Liquid ML240L

Not 1 thing in the new rig is worse than my old rig and yet, the same scene, renders(same passes, same resolution, everything same) in 4:03:42 while the old rig is rendering it in 00:51:52. Old rig is a combination of SSD and HDD(assets are in HDD) while the new rig has only 1 SSD and everything is on it.

Newer CPU's 1 core, 2 core, 4 Core, 8 Core, 64 Core, all the benchmarks are better than that of my old rig.
Newer RAM is faster.
Newer graphic faster is a lot better(Although this has nothing to do in rendering)

I am using the same 3ds max 2016 to test the same scene.

What gives? :(

[Max] I need help! / Necessity of Vray using corona converter

« on: 2019-08-23, 09:59:58 »

Hello,

It's been some time that I've moved to exclusively corona rendering and I don't use Vray at all to render. All of us use a lot of free online models and materials in our scenes. Most of the times, the materials are in Vray and we use Corona converter to convert those materials. I wanted to know, is the installation of Vray absolutely necessary for the converter to actually read the vray materials and convert them to Corona materials?  which means, we need Vray license also just to convert those materials to corona?

Best,
Yashica
