Finally gone back(i mean forward) to a PC!

I don't even have or use Maxwell sorry! It's a good bit of kit though.

hey neets.. i think the trick with maxwell is to set it up where you're not watching it render

on nearly a completely off topic tangent.. rumor has it, apple is making a self driving car.

I'm guessing this is a very unsubtle remark about the time it can take for Maxwell to render??! Doesn't bother me in the slightest - the results speak for themselves

Did a quick comparison test.

Obviously my new PC is faster than my old imac....but just for giggles, here is the difference in Thea Render.

I can't use my old Mac GPU for Thea rendering, can't be bothered finding out why, it's incompatible.

Mac render time CPU: 140 seconds

PC render time CPU: 23 seconds (7 times quicker)

PC render time GPU: 14 seconds (10 times quicker)

PC render time CPU + GPU : 10 seconds (14 times quicker)

@Kristoff and Stefan: Temperature maxed out at 74 Degrees Celsius when rendering a longer scene. Thermal Status: OK
