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.

We created a new 8200×3200 scene and recorded the time for the hardware to finalise the render.
Quad channel memory delivers better results in 3D Studio Max 2011, due to the enhanced bandwidth. That said, when the Samsung Green 1600mhz memory is overclocked to 2,400mhz, it is only 5 seconds slower than the Corsair 1,600mhz memory in a Quad Channel configuration.
wow that is bloody brilliant stuff. going to order 8gb this weekend. great review, thanks!
yeah thats too good to pass on. My mobo is rated to 2,133mhz but my memory is 1333mhz which can barely run at 1600mhz. ill get some of this myself.
This has been popular over at the US for quite some time now.
