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.

We created a new 8200×3200 scene and recorded the time for the hardware to finalise the render.
We tested the 3770k system with the Kingston HyperX Genesis 2666mhz memory and then removed it, to replace it with a generic 1333mhz dual channel kit. The system completed the same task around 7 seconds faster with the Kingston 2666mhz memory installed. Noticeable gains, especially if your machine handles rendering duties on a regular basis.
Im still not sure im sold on spending so much for memory.
I upgraded recently from 1600 to 2133 and on a blind test i couldnt tell the difference
this is great, but its only 4GB? id like to see how the 4GB sticks handle before committing . I cant find it anywhere either? any links to kits?
I think 1866mhz is good value, kingston make some nice cheaper memory.
nice showcase for them, they needed it with g.skill and the like running amok
