Got a new workstation yesterday, excited to have a much more powerful rig! Puget Systems helped spec this system out for KeyShot work, as well as being able to handle relatively heavy GPU based CAD/3D.
Camera Benchmark: 455 FPS
CPU AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX 3.0GHz 32 Core 250W
RAM Crucial 32GB DDR4-2666 (4x8GB)
GPU PNY Quadro P2000 PCI-E 5GB
Motherboard Gigabyte X399 AORUS Xtreme
Great system, and great support from Puget. I ran into a few issues with the motherboard (as I think others have) but their team was able to troubleshoot & identify the problem.
This is what I see on my 2990WX.
@camomiles Do you see these results also after 10minutes+ of full load like richardfunnell? Or is it the turbo when everything is still cold?
Yes, I can see the same results after 10+ minutes. The FPS is between 495 - 517, but 70% of the time over 500 FPS.
thanks for detailing this!
so there may be some other differences with in your setups.
Some time a ago a wrote about possible impact factors like Keyshot version, OS and lots more.
If you are interested in, just have a look:

Mine was giving me readings all over the place too, definitely hitting 500+ but not consistently. I haven't attempted to adjust clock speeds or any other settings, but I'm hopeful that some tweaking will help out :)
@mafrieger thanks for the link! yeah I'll have to push the setup a bit more and see where I land.
Hi Chaps...Ive just started working on a similar rig...2990
Iam getting 550-560fps when the cam scene first loads then if I dont touch anything it slowly drops to around 500fps
If I start moving the camera it boosts up to 1300fps or down to 430 depending on the angle and if the camera lens is in shot.
I would be interested to hear what cooling solution you are using, whats cpu temps your getting, what speed the cpu is running during the test and what your DB levels are like?
Cheers
Peter
:) Would also love to know your room's ambient temp when taking those readings.
Running a 2990WX and a Dual E5-2690v4 Xeon together, the only cooling solution I can recomend, is this mitsubishi divice over my head ;D
Seriously:
We have "Noctua NH-U12S TR4-SP3" for the 2990WX. Didn't measure the noise level, but it is very silent. The biggest issue is the power supply. The "Dark Power Pro P11" makes far more noise than the CPU fan.

Thanks for the info, so what CPU temps is that Noctua fan keeping the cpu at when rendering in Keyshot, iam surprised your saying its silent
I currently have a Wraith Ripper but I don't like it.

Between 65-67 °C

Yes, I have the same temps, going to try a Noctua CPU cooler next week.
Thanks again :)

Sorry I forgot to ask, what is your CPU temp when idle?
I'll check next week, when back in the office.
We use Enermax Liqtech TR4 II 360 in the 2990 render farm machines we build. We place the fans and rad in the front of the case drawing cold air in and then add fans to the top of the case venting out. Our machines are lined up on shelves side to side. When rendering temps are in the high 60's to low 70's. However, we do have a climate controlled room set to 70 with extra fans circulating so it really isn't an apples to apples comparison to workstation in an office.

37 - 46 °C on idle

Ok great, thanks for the info, mine is very similar, the only issue I have now is that the Wraith Ripper CPU cooler is too noisy for me to work on all day, so hopefully the Noctua will fix this.

How noisy are those Enermax coolers? I guess if you have lots lined up its hard to tell.
From what ive read and asked about air coolers are the best option if you want things quieter.
