Rendering Question

Postby BuddyB » Mon Sep 29, 2014 8:59 am

I have MS13, and you can see what I have, in my sig, equipment-wise. I have 8 gigs of RAM. the question is, would I render more quickly if I doubled my RAM, or is the processor the sole factor in the equations? Thanks.

Rendering is a processor, not a RAM process, Buddy. Adding more RAM would have virtually no effect on your rendering speed.

Well shoot, darn and heck, that's what I was afraid of. I guess I'll begin to look for my next upgrade. I've always been an ASUS/AMD guy, but when I bought Bonnie her new ASUS laptop it has a 2.4 gig I7 Intel and it's faster than my 3.2 gig 4Core AMD. Until I do this I guess I'll be rendering any complex video it will be an overnight thing, plus it took over two hrs to upload to Youtube. Zowie, it do take a lot to hunt with the big dogs..or even the medium-sized ones :-D

The number of cores and the ghz speed really don't mean anything any more, Buddy. That's why when I'm shopping for processors, I use these benchmark scores.

Anything over 5000 is very good. Anything over 7000 is awesome!

Laptop: MacBook Pro (retina), 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5.

Buddy, what format are you rendering to? This will also have quite a bit to do with how fast the renders happen. For example, MOV files can take forever, AVI files are even longer (and result in larger files), but MP4 files are pretty dang quick.

Sorry for the length of time in response. I've been in the hospital for a time, no not Ebola, but serious enough to keep me out of touch with friends. Kent I rendered as MP4, knowing it to be good for the Net and DVD. As a curiousity I've even thought maybe MP2 might be easier to work with, not knowing how much quality I would lose.

Do you know what your settings are, particularly the Mb/sec?

I'm not sure where to look for the info. The rendering requester doesn't give that info.
