3D Rendering-

AutoCAD 2009 x64

We utilize AutoCAD 2010 x64 and the Cadalyst Labs 5 benchmark.


Application Performance - Autodesk AutoCAD 2010 x64

3ds Max 2010 x64

We utilize a rather large mental ray image and track the time it takes to render it.


Application Performance - Autodesk Maya 2010 x64

Blender 2.49a x64

We utilize the flying squirrel benchmark image and track the time it takes to render it.


Application Performance - Blender 2.49a x64

Cinema 4D R11 x64

Cinema 4D R11 is one of our favorite programs to create high-end 3D images and animations. We track the time it takes to render a swimming pool layout.


Application Performance - Maxon Cinema 4D R11 x64

LightWave 3D 9.6 x64

Another popular 3D rendering program is Lightwave 3D 9.6. In this test we time the rendering of a single frame from an office building animation. The time to render the full scene is approximately four and a half hours.

    The fan header information is on page 3

    "Fan control is only offered for the CPU fan header, offering full temperature range and speed control which is great. Unfortunately the SYS fans cannot be controlled independently from the CPU FAN header. "

    There is also reference to software level control via TOVERCLOCK/TPOWER.

  • jackylman - Friday, November 27, 2009 - link

    It's still unclear to me. The quoted section only seems to refer to the BIOS setting. The screenshot shows a fan RPM tab for TPOWER, but I don't see any reference to whether it actually controls the fans or just reports RPM's (I suspect the latter).

    The question we really want answered is whether the non-CPU headers support PWM and can be controlled with SpeedFan (e.g.). If not, it would really be a shame to see another good board skimping on cheap PWM hardware.

    Both TPOWER and TOVERCLOCKER can change fan speed and offer monitoring. The SYS FANS cannot be controlled at all, so they are 'full on' all the time.

    I've changed the page 3 comment to reflect this.

    Raja,
    That is much better. Thank You.

    In terms of overclocking, the BIOSTAR handles 8GB memory better than the MSI GD-65 (memory clocking in general is easier). Sleep mode is also a little more robust, allowing recovery from higher BCLK's. Other than that, one of the marks against the Gd-65 was the incompatibility of OC GENIE with several PSU's.

    As for the rest, thx for the feedback - I'll add what I can within the timeframe of test. there are some things we miss on due to oversight. It's not possible to keep everyone happy unfortunately, as with all things.

    regards

    No conclusion page on this review? Am I wrong or the conclusion is on the first page this time? =D

    Contrary to others, I find the new layout most efficient and a desireable journalistic change. As you point out, read the first page (or two) and determine if you want/need additional info. Also, your heading for the conclusion/summary section is clear and succinct. However, it doesn't surprise me that some may find it confusing, as there is a tendency to settle into a complacent pattern with much of life when we're able. But you'd think the younger average age of your readers would portend flexibility, but that's obviously not the case!
