Quick Update + New Rendering PC #4
🕑 Added 2020-08-06 20:24:27 +0000 UTCHello all! I ran into some major issues with my 3rd rendering PC today.... I was attempting to convert my fluid simulation machine into a rendering machine... long story short, it wasn't working out very well. SO, I returned the graphics cards I bought for it and I ordered a whole new PC.
The good news is, this will ensure rendering *hopefully* wont really be an issue with future animations either =)
SO for those who are curious, here is the setup for the NEW PC I just bought today (I wish I could have waited until the 3080 TI's came out but I had to get this now, otherwise Centaur Things would experience a massive delay):

That's an insane amount of 2080 TIs. No wonder there was a card shortage a year ago, you were buying the world's stock!

Your utilities bill must be a sight to behold...

Holy shit, it takes so much gpu power to render these animations. I suppose when the 3090 version releases since nvidia might skip the ti models, you could splurge for a 5th pc if it's feesable.

Just to know , you did an amazing job on ABW but it's not my cup of tea we can says. I am realy a big fan of AMRL , my favorite on the WWW. When do you think that you will have some new scenes?
Agent Red Girl
For the rendering I do yeah
Agent Red Girl
Yeah they are going literally 24/7
Mezmeryzed
Thanks , I don't know much eider , so you have the best graphic cards that money can bye ?
Eric Farrar
Do you ever shut your PCs off or do they run 24/7? (That's kinda what you make them sound like so I was just curious)
Agent Red Girl
To be totally honest, I know VERY little about hardware. The only thing I truly have some insight on is Graphics Cards because they are the most important part of rendering. All my PC's are intel and i rarely, if ever, have PC crashes or anything like that.
Mezmeryzed
Just curious , I never did graphic but I did built a few computers and always with AMD. The very first computer I owned was a intel and it was crashing all the time and I mean you have to reboot . And with AMD what I experienced when it overload it will slow down , bread a bit and come back up . I am not a pro or expert , far from it. But Intel vs AMD ?
Agent Red Girl
lol... yeah each PC fits their personality too =)

Lol, I love how you've named your PC's after your characters!
