Thanks romullus! ;) Is there any date for the 1.4 release? Can't see it anywhere, sorry.

182
Any news if we're going to have region render directly on VFB in v1.4?

That was another doubt i had :) I read somewhere (tomshardware if i'm not mistaken) that 3 screw holes wouldn't line up. Corners and some internals do. Also found this for reference:



If i go the Samsung 850 Evo 1TB | Asus Z10PA-D8 route i was thinking on the Fractal Define R4.

On the other hand on the Samsung 950 Pro M.2 PCIe | Asus Z10PE-D8 WS route the Fractal Define XL R2 is a really tempting choice but i'm not sure the overall extra cost is really worth it. I guess i have to sink that in :)

Do you have any dual Xeons Juraj?

Great input Juraj! Many thanks! Sata 3 ssd route is somewhat around 300€ cheaper. Cheaper MB and no special SSI-EEB compatible case to match :)

Hardware / nVme PCIe (x4) vs Sata 3 ssd
« on: 2016-04-30, 11:39:58 »
I'm about to build a workstation with 2x Xeon 2699 v3 and i would like some input regarding storage. My options are either go to Samsung 850 Evo (SATA3) 1TB or go to Samsung 950 Pro 512GB (nvme Pcie x4).

My question is: is there ANY real difference in opening large 3ds max files between the two hard drives? I know that large file transfers benefit the M.2 nvme but my interest is to speed up large 3ds max file opening and if M.2 pcie x4 doesn't cut it i won't invest in a specific motherboard with support for M.2 pci2 (x4).

If i go the SSD Sata3 route the motherboard would be the Asus Z10PA-D8.
If i go the M.2 pcie x4 route the motherboard would be the Asus Z10PE-D8 WS.

Has anyone tested this?

So, no render region in the extended viewport as well right? I bought Corona just now to see this feature... bummer! :) Should have read the thread before.

Many thanks for the reply romullus! I assume this is already present in the Release candidate 1?

188
Is this feature already implemented in v1.2 Ondra?
