Hello,

So I recently upgraded a few components in my PC and am wondering what I can upgrade to achieve faster rendering and prerendering times? Since Adobe took out Multiprocessing is my CPU what is holding me back? I plan on upping my RAM to 64GB but how big of a difference will that make? I have done some tests on a 30 second Comp with a couple 3D spinning circles and a radial blur and it is averaging 7 minutes to render it out 18 min if I put Knoll Light factory in. I do plan on doing more 3D work with motion blur effects but I just want to know what would help the most to upgrade. Thanks!

Windows 10
HP Z440
Intel Xeon CPU E5-1650 v4 3.6ghz
32Gb RAM
NVIDIA Quadro M4000 8gb

The tasks you are doing seem to be more CPU orientated, so getting another CPU would be a good idea if you want better performance. I'm not the biggest expert on server/xeon CPU's, but I can tell you that a more recent xeon instead of a 1st gen xeon (as specified in E5-1650 as the first 1) will perform a lot better.

To check a bottleneck, take a look at cpu usage vs gpu usage during said tests. If CPU is at 100%, you have a CPU bottleneck. But to be honest with you, your PC is a beast rendering computer and shouldn't need much better components. If you have a mechanical hard drive, that could be holding you back. Try go for an SSD.

Thank you Jetfighter, I do have a 1tb ssd that I render to. I have noticed that it maxes out on the CPU while rendering so should I get another CPU or swap it out for a different one? If so any suggestions? And would it help to go for a M5000 card?
