How can I increase building times? I know that more ram is good, but is there anything else that I can upgrade on my PC?
I’m also looking to build about 5 slave PC’s to push to from swarm. What should i put in these computers? Should I focus on RAM or CPU?
Thank you for your help,
Ryan
BTW - Love the new additions, been around since the beta program and am absolutely loving the road UE4 is going on. Please focus on fixing the bugs though
so yea…don’t add crazy gpu for your slaves it’s going to be useless.
I don’t know but I think cpu would help more unless you tend to use all your ram but 32 is quite a lot. Never had a problem with my 16+8 so far. Buy dual 12-core xeon’s!!! 24 cores 48 thread ftw!
I don’t have dual xeons so I can’t say Rafareis123 has that setup tho iirc, you could send him a PM. He said his recent scene took 50 mins to build on super high quality with the xeons!
Actually I find if I have two Editor projects open, and Lightmapping going on, I have to set my swap to at least 16GB on my SSD, even with 16GB of RAM.
So CPU’s definitely important for brute-force number crunching, but 32GB of RAM and a fast SSD for 32GB of swap should cover all the bases (and you could Lightmap more than one project at once ?:))
BTW are you finding 4.9.0 Lightmapping builds are faster?
