Hello guys , i just want to ask you if still been a good option buy this core,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-E5-2683-v3-OEM-Retail-SR1XH-LGA2011-3-Compatible-X99-i7-5960X-/232192146480?hash=item360fbafc30:g:S0wAAOSwFGNWTefD
this is a good seller?

i am 60% sure to buy , i just want to hear some opinion and make the final step.

cheers.

These are great for render nodes, but not for the main workstation, max turbo is way too low. If you can stretch your budget go for 2696v3

Are you sure your CInebench CPU score for 3770 is correct? It should be under 1000.

Regarding your problem - throttling is a most likely cause. You can drop temperature significantly by changing the chassis  fan speed in BIOS.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Bloom/Glare doesnt work with Cubemap/Spherical/Cylindrical cameras

« on: 2016-12-09, 22:32:17 »

Bloom and Glare effects are currently being applied to the entire image, overlapping the seams of the images then  the Cube/Spherical/Cylinder camera projection is used.

If you decide to go with OEM 2696V3  look for SR1XK stepping: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=SR1XK&_sacat=0

If you're looking for something not for the render nodes but for workstation:  OEM E5-2696v3 is the best bet. 18 cores, 3.6GHz turbo, compatible with any motherboards including dell/hp, and usually goes for $1200-1300 on eBay.

OEM E5-2599v4 max turbo is 3.6GHz
The CPU you're looking at on Ebay is a ES version with max turbo 2.6GHz

[Max] Resolved Feature Requests / Denoise include/exclude

« on: 2016-09-16, 16:50:36 »

Denoising is absolutely great feature, but sometimes it blurs the fine textures a bit too much.
It would be great to have an option to include/exclude objects from the denoising.
Simple include/exclude list would do.
Having an option to select by material ID, object ID, and selection would be even better. Similar to what you already have in Corona Mask element.

Or you can pick up one of these and upgrade the videocard:

[Max] Daily Builds / Re: Daily Builds 1.5

« on: 2016-09-12, 17:55:24 »

sorry to say, but it has been pushed to 1.6 so we can make 1.5 release under 1 month

Is there any way to add just the "Pre-run 3ds max" function to the current daily builds or 1.5 release? It would give a huge DR speed up, for the simple scenes waiting for the nodes to start max and load the scene takes longer than the rendering itself.

Is this some new Vray thing ? Sounds quite practical :- ) For me it's usually 5 +/- minutes before slaves actually join.

Not too new, vray has is since 2002 or 2003 :)

"Pre-run 3ds Max" - will this be included in the daily build? Can't wait to have this implemented.
With Vray DR simple scenes are starting almost instantly on the render nodes. With Corona we have to wait for Max to load.
