@boylilit i hope i wont offend you sir ask ko lang po kasi kung 130k ang budget hindi po ba mas effective ang 3x na 3770?

kasi po magkakaroon kayu ng 24 cores compared to 12, natanong ko lang sir ha... pero kung maraming moolah mas mabilis pa nga den naman pag 3x na 3930k....

ka drool pa den pc mo sir..

@boylilit

nice RIGS! congrats

ang gusto kase ni sir boylilit todong specs.. sabagay kung personal ko rig ko ito at may budget ako itodo ko rin ito sa isang workstation lang. para kase nkakatuwa tignan at gamitin pag may extreme ka na pc na malupit talaga.
pero tama sila sir overkill ito para sa render lang ng mga interiors, kung office lang ito hindi personal, at may 130k budget ang office, hahatiin ko ito sa 2 workstation with a nice i7 3820 unit, cguro mga 60k-65k lang yan, mkaka 2 workstation ako.

congrats sa pc mo sir! natesting mo na?

hehehe! overkill ba sir Oby? In the near future we will do Animation narin kasi. so, kelangan talaga namin ng isang Rig na medyo malakas.

Nag test render ako ng 1600 x 1200, Nasa 18 minutes Sir.

@ boyliit

ayos yung makina natin.... early Christmas

At least hindi siya bumili ng 3960K, that would have been more of an impractical decision given that the 3930K is half the price but only 5% slower thean the 3960K.

I recently just built a 3930K rig and overclocked it to 4.4 GHz (4.5 was crashing and was too hot). I also have an overclocked 2600K at 4.5GHz (which is comparable in speed to the Ivy bridge processors in rendering). I did a benchmark and the 3930K at 4.4 GHz was around 29% faster than the 2600K at 4.5GHz using an actual project.

When I was costing out the 3930K versus the 3770K, the cost difference was around $450 USD. Everything in the rig was actually the same, except the processor and motherboard of the 3930K which made the 3930K setup $450 more expensive. Doing the math the 3930K ended up 30% more expensive than the 3770K, which ironically was pretty much almost exactly the same percentage in their performance difference.

Of course for practicality sake, i would agree that a multiple PC setup using less expensive components would be the best bang for the buck. The 3930K setup cost $1350 USD (using a cheap video card). I will post the setup details later.

yes alam ko po gaano kamahal ang setup ng i7 3930 at i7 3820 at i7 3770, i have set up many computers from purchasing to assembly, in the company i worked on, my friends and myself in fact i have set up my own last month and i have an i7 3770(nonK) with a nice mobo, 16gb ram and a nice vcard, and i am very much happy how fast it render my sideline projects

Like i said, in my personal opinion, kung office use ito at my 130k budget, i prefer building a 2 workstation using an i7 3820 for a 130k budget, rather than 1 workstation of i7 3930k. 2 workstations of i7 3820 will be more productive than a single i7 3930k in the office, 2 employees using i7 3820s' will work on 2 proj at the same time and finished proj at the same time rather 1 employee using 3930, no matter how fast it renders hindi nya tatalunin ang dalawang empleyado sabay gumagawa that is the reality
but kung personal use at pang sarili kong pc sa bahay lang and i have 130k budget, i will build just 1 unit of an i7 3930k. my house is not an office to put many workstations and i dont work much at home so why building multiple workstations at home?
i prefer decorating my room with nice furnitures than multiple machines

I agree that 2 workstations using less expensive parts are in most cases more productive, but I am not sure that you can buy 2 - i7 3820 computers for the price of 1 - i7 3930K computer. Actually isn't the i7 3820 also a Sandy Bridge-E processor using the LGA 2011 socket? So the only thing you save in the 2nd setup above is the processor as the i7 3820 will also require the more expensive LGA 2011 motherboard. Of course you can buy cheaper everything else (case, power supply, smaller HD, less RAM, lower spec video card, lowwer spec/cheaper mobo, etc.) but you can also do that with the 3930K as they both use the same components. You will also have to buy a 2nd monitor for the 2nd 3820 setup which add to the cost. Lastly, paying a second employee his salary will eventually end up costing you more than the price difference in your choice in processor.

Anyway. in the end I guess there is really no right or wrong in this situation, its what really works best for you in your own unique situation.

yes you can buy 2 workstions of i7 3820 in a 130k budget, ang sinasabi po naten is in a 130k budget given by the office po not the price of one 3930k setup. sobra sobra pa po an 130k budget sa dalawang i7 3820 setup and dont say konti lang ang matitipid mo from choosing 3820 over 3930k dahil malaki ang price diffence ng 3930k from 3820,12-13k ang diperensya at kung 2 unit ay may 26k kana agad matitpid, thats not a small amount. and i dont agree in buying less expensive parts just to get more i7 workstations, titipirin mo ang parts just to get more i7? kaya ka nga humingi sa opisina ng budget is to get a decent i7 workstations not to again sooner or later mag uupgrade kananaman because tinipid mo just to get the idea of having more i7, upgrading is what we are talking about and dont think just because you have i7 3770 ok lang khit tipid na ang ibang parts 4gig ram budget vcard etc will not help you alot, and hindi kana mkaka hingi ng budget again sa office ng ganun kabilis because they already gave you baka maquestion kana about it, the point is, you have the budget then buy a decent powerful i7 that will last longer, kung 2 lang ang kaya na i7 setup sa budget na binigay sayo so be it, buy 2 decent ones and dont make other parts suffer, every part is important. and lasty you dont need to hire another employee buying 2 i7 3820 workstations, baket po ilan ba ang empleyado sa opisina para maghire kapa? di mo ba pwede ipagamit sa isa mo pang empleyado ang isa bagong station? ang sinasabi ko is mas magiging kapaki pakinabang ang 130k perang nilaan mo kung dalawang 3820 ito kesa sa isang 3930k dahil 2 empleyado mo ang makikinabang at makaka trabaho ng mabilis, kesa sa isa lang, at bakit mo nasabing mag hihire pa ng isang empleyado dahil lang bumili ka 2 stations? where did you get the idea?, hindi kelangan maghire ng empleyado dahil lang bumili ka ng dalawa station, kaya ka nga bibili ng stations is for your current employees para makapagtrabaho sila ng mas ok, mga current employees mo ang gagamit, no need to hire a new staff, that is not the answer

actually you just answered your own question, the point we are trying to determine here is what will be the most cost-effective solution if you have 130K to spend on a workstation (or workstations). since we are trying to determine this using real-world scenarios (i.e. in a real production office), we are trying to see what is more practical, having one employee using 1 3930K computer, or having two employees using 1 3820 workstation each. i am not the one who added the 2nd employee into the equation, that was you. whether or not he is a current employee, or a new hire does not make a difference as you still have to pay him a salary. so if you are the owner of the 3D firm, you will also have to consider the cost of the employee and not just the 130K worth of computers, hence it is not guaranteed that your answer of having 2 employees is the right answer in all situations. as i said, this will be a case to case basis, dependent on many factors. your introduction of the 2nd employee is what really complicated your argument, it would have been simpler to ask this question:

what is better, for 1 person working solo in his own gig: 1-3930K workstation or 2-3820 workstations. in this way you only play with a limited set of variables and it would produce a more reliable answer.

as i said, this is a case to case basis, having a second workstation is not the end of your costs, you still have to pay for software licences (3DSMax, vRay, Photoshop, etc.) that costs way more than your 130K workstation. yes, having 2 employees using 2 workstations will of course be faster, but from a business standpoint, it might not be the best decision.

ito po ang sa akin mga master,laptop po.

you dont ask questions if you already have the answer, that is ridiculous.
if you buy workstations you have a person/ user/ employee on the mix to operate the 2nd workstations right?
1 workstation = 1 employee, and 2 workstations = 2 employees, is my math right?

actually you are the one complicating things alot. you said i complicate things by adding employees? but
you said the better way to ask is ="what is better, for 1 person
working solo in his own gig: 1-3930K workstation or 2-3820 workstations"
you included "1 person" and that is the user, the employee, tama mali?
sayo na naggaling, and to continue it, for 2 3820 there is 2
persons/user/employee correct me if i am wrong. sayo na nanggaling yun
word na "PERSON" in short employee, or user yun for sure. the
real point is you are comparing 1 user that has a faster pc(3930)
against 2 users having not as fast pc( 2-3820), so which is more
productive. yun lang po. theres no topic about cost effectiveness, kung
nagbabasa ka ng earlier replies na pinag uusapan namen, there are only 3
things, 1. 130k budget, 2. 3930k, 3. 3820, common sense lang na we need
users/ employees to operate this machines, hindi naman ito magiging productive kung walang user.
dont throw salary, etc etc, lahat ng gastusin sinama mo, eh productivity lang naman ng 1 3930k at 2
3820, that who will finished more works in short sino mas productive, nothing more nothing less. and
one thing, earlier you are the one who said for practical reasons you
agree that a multiple pc setup is a better bang, and now you sound like
against sa 3820 2 pc setup because of cost of salary softwares etc etc.
wow, you have lots of conflicts.

actually that is not the case in our firm, or other firms i haved worked with, the ratio of employees to PC's is 1 employee is to 3 PC's (sometimes more). the other PC's run as render slaves so we do not pay for software licenses (free render node licenses) so your math of "1 workstation = 1 employee, and 2 workstations = 2 employees" is actually not correct in all cases. what I meant when I said that 2 cheaper wokstations is usually (not all the time) better than 1 faster worstation is that in the end, even if it is being used only by one person, it still gives you more render power for the same cost.

lastly chill out, why u mad bro?

not mad just trying to urgue the point you talking about, not very
clear to me, it looks to me that you conflict some of the things you
told earlier. most of the firms i worked on, we had 1 pc for every
employee, and a render farm.
