Their main competition is listed on hardware level (Dell, HP, IBM) through that decision ( 2006 +/- ), even though software is mentioned to have played an obvious role, Maya is mentioned instead (as Alias/Wavefront). That's interesting and I've never even heard of Softimage in this tale :- ).īut even Wikipedia lists the main reason for decline to be hardware competition and their failed attempts at migration from MIPS/IRIS architecture to similarly expensive and soon to be obsolete Itanium. To top it all off, once Microsoft were satisfied that they had gotten enough of the new emerging CG market to sustain itself, they then sold Softimage, and even made a profit on the sale. But then one day with a well thought out plan by Microsoft, they bought Softimage to specifically port it to Windows NT, with the hopes that everyone else would not want to miss out on the action, and it worked, as soon after everyone else started porting to NT. SGI's didn't go bankrupt specifically because PC's came on to the market, Windows NT was around for a while, and nothing really changed. Our CGI progenitors used 80k machines to render bunch of polygons.we are using 6k+ workstations.

(General note, as some people here write the temps with offset and some true, everyone should write from HWiNFO64) It will denoise for 10 minutes and that's a good stability test, maybe even better than Prime95. This could be a good benchmark, render 8k image with few passes, only for like 30 seconds and then start denoising. Why? Is it normal?Īnother thing that I saw is that if in 1 hour render the temperatures doesn't go above the 52☌, during denoising it can go up to 58☌ for example, why does it happen? It seems that some tasks are heating more than others under the same CPU usage.ĭenoising seems to utilizing everything to full, I've also noted almost 10C Delta over regular rendering. I noticed that sometimes, during a render, after staying stable at 52☌ for several minutes, the temperature goes for less than a second to 62☌ and than it goes back to 52☌ while the CPU load seems to go down instead. In idle the CPU temperatures is between 31☌ and 33☌, under heavy load up to 53☌ in the worst scenario. For the same render now I spend 1/5 of the time. I come from an HP Z820 dual Xeon E5 2643, and the new one clearly outperforms it. Quote from: engiu on, 20:03:50 -Hi guys, I spent some time testing my new workstation.
