Title: Building a multi-CPU workstation
Post by: jet1990 on February 16, 2018, 06:16:33 AM

Hi All,

I am currently using an i7 processor with "8 cores". I am wanting to beef up the power i can utilise for rendering so I'm thinking of building a multi-cpu. Will keyshot recognise mutli CPU pcs?

thanks

Yeppers! Check out the benchmark section to see what people are using. There are some multiple CPU systems there. Let us know what you end up with.

Absolutely! We're using a Dell Precision Tower 7910, dual Xeon E5-2699 processors with 22 cores each for a grand total of 88 threads...

Nice! I'm a bit jealous though.
