Would someone be able to explain my home desktop vs work machine Rx results?
this are my workstation results:
It's i7-4790k, quadro k5200 and 32gb ddr3.
And those are results of my new home desktop:
I have i7-6700k, gtx 960 and 16gb ddr4.
Now I know why graphics is such a big difference - quadro vs gtx.
But can't understand why rendering is almost 2times slower. I always tought that rendering in SW PW360 is only based on CPU - and I can clearly see that my cpu is better (not much).
So why is rendering time that much of a difference - does the graphic card help in rendering or not?
Also would it make difference that work machine resluts are from SW2014 and home results are from SW2016 (pre-release1) ?
I can't see the images, so not entirely sure hwich one is faster or slower...
But you should realize that it's not simply CPU clock speed, but number of cores. And it's not just PHYSICAL cores, but virtual/hyperthreaded cores as well.
My guess is that you have hyperthreading disabled on the the slower one. So you likely only have 4 threads running on that machine. Where as you have hyperthreading enabled on the faster machine giving you 8 render threads.
Just bring up task manager and see how many CPU bars show in Performance tab.
