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.

We render a KitGuru custom created scene at 1920×1080 and record the time taken, lower is better.

The additional bandwidth of the Visiontek memory helps improve the scene rendering performance by around 2 seconds when compared against the 1333mhz clocked competitor. When compared to the 1600mhz Kingston HyperX T1, it improves performance by 0.7 of a second. This might not seem like much, but for a significantly longer task it could improve the rendering time by a couple of minutes.
