I asked this type of question before, no one really had a definitive answer that i was looking for.
and i think it was too complex for those that answered were able to comprehend.
I ask that only people with first hand knowledge & or know of a reputable site that, has some information that can help me, and no one that says oh you don't need that or you "probly wont get much improvement"
I create 2D painting's like some of the art you seen on Photoshop
and i remember reading, when you are rendering with a gpu you don't get as much color and rending accuracy as you do when rendering with a cpu, and it is challenging to find information pertaining to this.
I want to get a 128 core computer / workstation type pc and
want to get a 4 cuda enabled cards or more (more on this later)
I want to get the cuda cards, not sure if its tesla or gtx if im getting yet
and since i read the the gpu is not as accurte as the cpu is when rendering photo's
is this true for the gpu on Photoshop doing 2D painting?
is there a setting that i can choose to only render 100% color with the gpu even if its not rendering as fast as other wise
if not i'd like to know if getting a high core count such as 64-128 will make rendering my 2D painting faster than lets say a 6 or 12 non-h/t cpu
and i mean proportionally speed up as 48 core is 4x (400%) faster than 12 core |w/o H/T and a 128 core aprox 10x faster than a 12 core cpu?
or would i get a limited speed up.
rending lag/ long render times kind of kills my mood / joy / excitement / stoked-ness for the project :\
Remember i only want people to answer if they know what I'm talking about and
i would prefer them to have first hand experience or at least know some factual and not- anecdotal information / their theory.
I want to know since i dont like waiting for my 2D painting to render since i work on 12,000 x 6,000 resolution photo's and it can take abit longer to render than i'd like.
does anyone know if cs5 does any rendering over muti-able systems to improve render time such as i have 4 monster systems and i render across all of them, maybe sending information of each change the photo and render only a partial render and then send it to my main system and put it together? for 2d painting of course.
