Yes, jackass, I am. Let me spell it out for you..If the tasks aren't multithreaded then they don't use both processors! Render a scene and watch your CPU graphs while the scene is prepared for rendering- only one processor working right? Smarten up Mr. Genius...

00 AM.</EM></FONT></P>. Software rendering film-quality pictures and movies is a very heavy process. It employs all of the heaviest-duty technologies around... And it benefits greatly from multithreading - parallel execution. Current processors render quite...

your Processor. When you Render out images you want to have powerful processors. The graphics card is not going to do the math to render an image out, the Processor takes care of that. I have a render farm that contains 10 servers with dual PIII processors...

In any case, a P4 will probably be faster in 3D rendering if the app is SSE2 optimized, which many are, nowadays. AMD technology + Intel technology = Intel/AMD Pentathlon IV; the ULTIMATE PC processor Rendering IMO is definitly the highest point of AthlonXPs....

that is given a monitor’s ability to reproduce color based on color depth and ICC profiles – how close will the image I see be to the file I save from the rendering? I am trying to justify using a $250.00 card verses a $$$$$ workstation card. Who doesn’t...

Pov-RAY that used your general purpose processor to render 3D scenes described using vector graphics (like VRML). Those old programs rendered 800x600 resolution graphics at about 1 frame every 2 to 3 hours on an old 486 processor. In the August 2006 issue...

is the power of the processor itself. When you start getting more computing power from your gpu then it needs the extra ram. Basically, 1920x1080 is a lot of pixels, so it needs a powerful processor to render it and enough ram to hold those rendered shots....
