Hi, i hope this is the correct place to ask this question otherwise sorry i am just very new to the forum.
Today i tried the network rendering function for an animation that i had to make, but i've noticed that the performance of my render Slaves dropped quite a bit in comparison to the Master PC.
Just for the information this is my setup:
The Master:
Intel i7 920 2.6ghz (8 cores)
12GB Ram 1600
256 SSD HD (Primary disc)
GTX 760 2048MB
The Slaves: (2x)
AMD FX8350 4.0ghz (8 cores)
8GB Ram 1600
200GB HD 7200RPM
ATI HD3000 (onboard)
Network:
A direct connected high speed switch
Okay, correct me if i am wrong but for network rendering it only use the CPU for calculation right? So the onboard GPU is not the bottleneck. I also use this setup for rendering with V-ray and as far as i can't notice the AMD's are faster than the intel pc. For the animation i made the Intel (master) was almost twice as fast as the amd's (slaves).
Hope you guys maybe know why this could happen? is it a memory thing? or did i do something wrong? Thanks in advance.
