My $1600 build only needs to enable 50% more performance than Don’s $1200 machine to reach value parity. 3ds Max nearly gets me there.
Unfortunately for both of us, Don’s $1200 PC doesn't quite maintain twice the performance of Paul’s $600 configuration.
Don’s machine lurches closer to mine in Blender, but at least he’s getting a little advance on Paul. With the $600 PC performing beyond its price in most of our previous benchmarks, Don needs this break.
Don’s $1200 build is nearly twice as fast as Paul’s $600 PC again in Visual Studio 2010. Still needing only a 50% performance advance over Don, my $1600 PC breaks that barrier in the same benchmark.
