WSL2 vs Linux (HPL HPCG NAMD)
We’ve been curious about the performance of WSL for scientific applications and decided to do a few relevant benchmarks. This is also a teaser for some hardware-specific optimized application containerization that I’ve been working on!
Redshift
By leveraging the incredible computing performance and efficiency of the GPU, Redshift dramatically speeds up rendering, resulting in faster iteration and lower costs. Tailored to support creative individuals and studios of every size, Redshift offers a suite of powerful features and integrates with industry-standard CG applications.
OctaneRender
These system configurations are optimized for fast rendering and solid reliability in the world’s first GPU-accelerated, unbiased, physically correct renderer: OctaneRender.
V-Ray
From architecture and design to visual effects in film and television, V-Ray is the most widely used rendering solution in the world. V-Ray has helped artists and designers visualize their best work for over 20 years, pushing the boundaries of imagery, animation, and virtual reality.
Cinema 4D
Whether creating or animating scenes and models in Cinema 4D, our recommended systems are designed specifically for the needs of C4D users.
Autodesk Maya
Creating models, adding rigging, and performing animations in Maya needs a responsive workstation in order to allow your creative process to flow. Our recommended systems are designed to allow you to do your work without any hardware bottlenecks.
Autodesk 3ds Max
Puget Systems has performed extensive analysis of 3ds Max to configure systems that are designed specifically for the needs of 3ds Max users.
Windows 10 vs Windows 11 for Content Creation: 8 Month Update
Windows 11 has officially been out for 8 months, and most applications now have official support for the new operating system. When it initially launched, we saw measurable performance issues with Windows 11 in content creation applications, but have those gone away now that the OS has had time to mature?
Threadripper PRO Workstation Pricing Comparison: Puget Systems vs Lenovo
Here at Puget Systems we certainly aren’t always the cheapest option, but I have always believed that we provide a lot of value – from our Labs testing and no-pressure consultations to our in-depth quality control processes and lifetime tech support. Since AMD just launched the new Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series, I thought this would be a great time to go back to my consulting roots and share some real-world price comparisons with one of our competitors: Lenovo.
AMD Threadripper PRO 5000 WX-Series Content Creation Review
AMD’s new Threadripper PRO 5000 WX series of CPUs are here, providing greater performance over the previous generation while maintaining the large memory capacity and high PCIe lane count that Threadripper Pro is known for. But just how much faster are these new processors in content creation applications, and how do they fare against their main competition: the Intel Xeon W-3300 series?
