Rendering with 48 cores

My octo-socket amd hand built rendering machine, with a total of 48 cores. Normally rendering this scene on a standard dual core machine would take about an hour.

play some crysis 2 at max graphics already!!!

@TheMsdos25 This thing can calculate 15 million fluid dynamic simulation particles a second and all you have that you can throw at it is Crysis?

whoa hold on a second. octo socket? ive never heard of a mobo with 8 sockets on it. you sure it isnt quad socket?

[darkshark9]

@puntymario Quad socket mobo, quad socket expansion.

@btavv AMD cores don't hyperthead. You're the idiot.

... but can it run ms paint AND... minesweeper at the SAME time? I'd like to see that feat good sir.

@hasm0ney herp diddly derp derp.

@hasm0ney I know. First off I was making a joke, second, I have a very high processing end computer with plenty of RAM, but my graphics card is kinda lame so I only get about 80 FPS.

I assume if someone goes through the trouble the trouble of installing 48 cores to do 3D rendering they would install a good graphics card/cards. If it took 2 seconds to render instead of an hour it would have a good graphics card :) Thank you.

@bobaethan Minecraft is more dependent on your graphics card. CPU power only plays a role, but not the major one.

[bobaethan]

Imagine how many FPS you could get wile playing Minecraft.

@1zacster Well I'll be damned ;)

@OshiroTG google it, engineers used a special chip where they can "flip" what direction the transistors send signal. it technically processes 1000 physical cores but by no means is so weak isnt even measurable on normal comutational scales.

@TheMsdos25

Yes, the game was only coded to use 4 cores.

@snedie69er even with maximum graphics and photo realistic mods?
