V2011 is the first release of 3DStudio Max to fully support the Windows 7 operating system. This is a professional level tool that many people use for work purposes and our test will show any possible differences between board design today.
Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2011 software offers compelling new techniques to help bring designs to life by aggregating data, iterating ideas, and presenting the results.
Streamlined, more intelligent data exchange workflows and innovative new modeling and visualization tools help significantly increase designers’ creativity and productivity, enabling them to better explore, validate, and communicate the stories behind their designs.
Major new features:
- Slate: A node based material editor.
- Quicksilver: Hardware renderer with multithreaded rendering engine that utilizes both CPU and GPU.
- Extended Graphite Modeling Toolset
- 3ds Max Composite: A HDRI-capable compositor based on Autodesk Toxik.
- Viewport Canvas toolset for 3D and 2D texture painting directly in the viewport
- Object Painting: use 3D geometry as ‘brushes’ on other geometry
- Character Animation Toolkit (CAT): now integrated as part of the base package
- Autodesk Material Library: Over 1200 new photometrically accurate shaders
- Additional file format support: includes native support for Sketchup, Inventor
- FBX file linking
- Save to Previous Release (2010)
We created a new 8200×3200 scene and recorded the time for the hardware to finalise the render.
The AMD FX 8350 finishes the render in 7 minutes and 2 seconds, quite a good result, although around 9 seconds slower than the reference clocked Core i7 2600k. When overclocked to 4.6ghz and with the memory running at 2,133mhz, the time is reduced significantly to 6 minutes and 41 seconds.
Its a decent system you built, but I agree, the Intel chips are too tempting and faster systems are available for the same price point as this.
Yeah not moving from Intel im afraid either 3570k is only a little more expensive in UK and id rather have it. Power/heat is important to me.
If they sold it for £100 and their 990FX boards were £99 also, it might be more tempting to me. im interested in the 8 core systems, but they aren’t particularly strong cores so it seems pointless.
Disappointing really. another full year and its just a little better than 8150. its clocked higher which helps, but Intel have so many options under £200 from core i3 and even 3570k
How do things look when you graph performance versus cost?
The AMD FX8350 didn’t even get KitGuru’s “Worth Considering” award. That bad?
And they even compared it to an i5…
can you tell me if this normal 38mm vs 22mm Lithography??
correction 38nm vs 22nm
