  14. Ryzen 7 1700x vs Ryzen 7 2700

    in CG & Hardware Discussion

    Posted

    At home I have four home built computers. One is a low end AMD AM3 running Linux (Zorin-OS) and used as a Samba file server. The other three i7-4770, I5-2600K and AMD FX-8320. At first they all ran Windows 7 Home Premium and the FX-8320 would run easily with the I5-2600K.  However after upgrading to Windows 10, initially the FX-8320 was fine but after a few Win10 updates the FX-8320 started to stall and freeze for a couple of seconds, then be ok. I tried a few bios setting tweaks recommend on sites like Tom's Hardware and others. Nothing seem to resolve the issue. I formatted the hard drive and re-installed Windows 10. The problem persisted. So before Christmas I formatted the hard drive and rolled the computer back to Windows 7. I notice a big performance gain running Windows 7 on the AMD FX-8320 over Windows 10.

    Perhaps the Threadripper has a similar issue with WIndows 10.

     

  15. Ryzen 7 1700x vs Ryzen 7 2700

    I presently have a I7-4770 with 32 GB of DDR3 memory with a Nvidia GTX 1060 video card 6 GB vram.  I am debating on upgrading with an AM4 motherboard (prefer gigabyte mobos as all 4 of my computers at home use Gigabyte), 32 GB DDR4 and either Ryzen 7 1700x or Ryzen 7 2700. Does the price difference warrant much of a performance gain between the Ryzen 7 1700x and 2700? The Ryzen 7 1700x is $299 (Canadian dollars - Newegg) and the 2700 $409 / 2700x $449 - again Canadian dollars at Newegg.

    Cheers & many thanks..

  16. Add 2nd video card to PC

    I presently have a I7-4770 with 32 GB of DDR3 memory with a Nvidia GTX 1060 video card 6 GB vram. It replaced a GTX 750 TI with 4GB vram. I know of SLI and mismatched video cards will not work in SLI.  

    However on Sicklefield's  youtube channel she has three mismatched Nvidia cards in her computer for DAZ work.

    I've seen posts by other DAZ and Poser artists who have mismatched Nvidia cards claiming it spends up gpu rendering. Again I'm not talking about SLI or AMDs Crossfire.

    Will I gain any benefit by adding the GTX 750TI in 3DCoat or Vue?

    Cheers & Happy New Year...

    You can use the Shape Draw modes in the E-Panel to draw extremely accurate lines or shapes, with the STROKES tool. I asked Andrew repeatedly, for a long time, to get that functionality. He finally added it.

    Wow...that's good to know. Was not aware of this... Many thanks for asking for this function...
