Hey guys! I was wondering if all of you who use ZBrush could post below some of your stats: 1) What CPU (mem, mobo?) do you use? 2) What is your benchmark score in ZBrush (single thread, multi thread)? I'm really curious about the criteria of selecting a proper CPU for ZBrush. I've thoroughly googled for any real…
I'm trying to assess ZBrush multi-core performance in it's best realistic scenario - the benchmark (procedures like Decimation master are optimized much better, but they don't directly affect your actual sculpting). The worst case - non-optimized pieces of software, utilizing mainly only single core (like Maya does in…
Well, looking at this benchmark ZBrush seems like a real reason to go multi-core but don't disregard all the other tools you'll end up using which may not thread so well and rather benefit from single core performance. Also, not sure how applicable this test is to scenarios where you have a complex model up-close, filling…
@thomasp Thanks for your input :) Right now the pure multi core test leaders are 10 core Core i9 7900x with 0.31 and overclocked Threadripper 1950x with 0.34. I’m curious is there any CPU which gives, say, 0.25 or below. We’ll see! :smiley:
Yep, good point. I’m curious if zbrush can utilize more than one core while regular sculpting with brush. I’ve noticed that regular strokes on quite dense mesh cause it to somewhat lag. Utilizing multiple cores on decimation or rendering is obvious, more interesting the performance of operations we do 90% of all time.
Rendering is basically faster with any high core CPUs (like 3900x or Threadripper) but brushes and UI (Active work) stuff works better with higher frequency CPUs like i9 9900k. You can basically open your task manager and see what happens with CPU usage when you do certain things in zbrush or any other app. I usually use…
