Hi Ahbstang… (and others),Thank you
Sorry for not replying sooner.I’ve been caught up in projects.
Thank you for the info.
I got my 980 card and put it in on the current machine…and everything started heating up to danger levels and just by the noise of it I know I’m pushing something in the wrong direction.I’ve fried machines before so it came out straight away, and I’m left with my current machine spec that runs everything great except Un-Real.The Bios is setup to run for CAD/Max and Vray and the guys that done it really know their stuff.
I’m half afraid to mess with it.
As its a server board and runs fantastic for Rendering in its current Set-up, I’m debating whether to buy another machine all together for Unreal work.
The other drawback is EEC Ram (currently installed), its way more expensive and I’m not sure of its benefit in the long run, if I want to keep the EEC I have I need to pick up more of it and it runs way higher than standard ram.
Do you think your current system with the 980 would create a better system/wprkflow overall? Also wondering about cooling for heavy asset work?Is the machine burning up on a high poly-count and materials?
I’d be in a similar Polycount (if not more) (I’ll check and come back)for the proposed projects and I’m wondering how you are getting on?
You seem to have progressed further than me but still in the testing phase also.
Any insights on any aspect of production / system builds is really appreciated.
Thanks again
