Member andre3000 Posted May 15, 2017 Member Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I am using the demo for now, still evaluating and I have two computers with strikingly different performances and was wondering why that is. The PC is an old i920, the Mac is a brand new 6700HQ at 2.6Ghz, geekbench tests the PC at 2x slower than the mac. When I run retopo on the same file the PC will take an hour or two, the mac will take about 5 minutes, that's way more than 2x. Monitor on the mac shows 360% usage (4 cores nearly maxed out) whereas the PC shows 14% with spikes at 50%. Any way to fix that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 DX versions only work in Windows and are optimized for consumer level graphics cards (Geforce), OGL version is faster on professional Quadro cards or Radeon. So unless you have a Quadro, in PC DX version is likely to be better suited to the hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Shpagin Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 In one of beta versions it was so. But in 29 build all should be quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in 29 build all should be quick. I tested in both .24 and beta .29 and it's as slow compared to mac. Do you use SSE 5? the i7 920 is limited to SSE 4.2 and maybe that's why? I have 12GB on the pc and it's not running out https://ark.intel.com/products/37147/Intel-Core-i7-920-Processor-8M-Cache-2_66-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI It's also very slow at resizing the window, running on a gtx 970 though...
