Thank you for the reply.
Sorry sebastian___ I wrote that not clear. I mean to use Nvidia in interactive rendering for denoising. But I have question, because I never use that.
Is the result in interactive rendering with Nvidia denoising better like with Corona HQ? Do you see in interactive rendering more details with Nvidia denoiser like with Corona HQ denoiser?
In the corona website is that Nvidia GPU denoiser "can smartly blur noise, but also to produce detail". What´s your experience?
I have also one more question about GPU. In every GPU is, how much MHz it have. Is it important for 3ds Max and Corona? Is better choose 14000, like for example 7000 MHz GPU? Or it doesn´t matter.
Thanks romullus. I'll have time tomorrow so I'll look into it

I´m thinking to change motherboard from ASUS TUF X570-PLUS GAMING (WiFi) to ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING. I check VRM tier list and it´s maybe better choice.
Today I am also more inclined to buy used gtx 1080ti. I´m still little bit scared buy used graphic card, but it will be needed for smooth work.
What do you think, is it good choice?

Hardware / First Workstation

« on: 2020-06-17, 17:27:11 »

Hi guys,

I build my first workstation. Last two weeks I spent all my free time with planning how to build a new computer and what components to choose for my budget, which is 2000 €.

I create a topic where I tried discuss if is better build computer to future upgrade or to sell it later and then build new one.

Topic is here: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=29769.0

I thought about that and I decide to build computer to sell it later (about 1-2years later) or maybe I use it like a render farm if I will need it.

On the paper I had a couple of ideas. Finally this is my choice with few sentences why I choose that components.

ASUS TUF X570-PLUS GAMING (WiFi) - Because M.2, Pcie 4.0, Wifi, 128Gb Ram 4400 Mhz

AMD Ryzen 9 3900x - 12 cores, most cores in my budget, Intel is too expensive

NOCTUA NH-U12S SE-AM4 - Is quiet

RAM Patriot Viper 4 Blackout Series 64 GB KIT DDR4 3200 MHz CL16-20-20-38 - This RAM I found for good price.

MSI GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GAMING X 8GB (14000Mhz) - I choose that piece because is quiet and it´s possible to use that in interactive rendering (if I´m right). I still play with thought buy used gtx 1080ti..It´s cheeper and much more vram for heavy scenes, but I´m little bit scared buy used products and for my it´s maybe overkill.

SSD ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1 TB - Because M.2 SSD

HDD Seagate BarraCuda 3 TB - Good price, hope enough space

PSU Seasonic Focus GX 750 W Gold - Is enough and lot of types of protection

Fractal Design Define S - I choose it, because lot of space, air circulation and it´s silent

27" BenQ GW2765HT <- I´m not happy with this choice, because is pretty old, but I don ´t found any good alternatives in same price :/

Now I´m little bit up like is my budget. About 300 €. So if you have some idea what to change, I´m open to discuss.

So what do you think?

Do you see any issue? Do you have better idea?

Thank you for your response.
So do you think it will be the best to build a computer considering that it will use as a render farm?

Hardware / Sell or upgrade first workstation?

« on: 2020-06-14, 21:53:02 »

Hello everyone.
In next few weeks I will buy my first workstation. But before, I would like to know what´s the better idea.
I'm the person who like planning little bit to future, before to do something.
For that, before I decide what components choose for build workstation I want to know what to put more emphasis on.
One option is build PC and after 1 or 2 years sell that for lower price, maybe to some gamer and then build another machine, stronger with new components. In that case I lost some value, but I don't know how much. Somewhere I read that computer lost 2% every week, somewhere 20% per year. I don't know which info is correct.
The second option is to assemble the computer so that it can be upgraded in one or two years and I will use that next couple of years. In this case I count with change mainly CPU and GPU. In that case i see big disadvantage, that i spent now less money from my budget for cpu and gpu with bigger vram, and more for motherboard and other components.
My budget is 2000 €.
So what, how to decide?
Sell or upgrade?
I'm a curious how you choose your workstation?
What are you doing with older workstation?
