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? :(
