How Fast Are You - Official Twilight Scene - Bauhaus Lamp

If you're happy, we're happy.
36s is MUCH better than 55s! 8 cores at 3.8Ghz seems like it should render faster. But perhaps the Intel Core i7 (which I presume do not work with your motherboard or you would have gotten one) are simply more efficient at rendering than these versions from AMD. 36s which is equivalent render time to stock corei7 920 at 2.66Ghz.

so this means that, i am happier than fx6100 times. so you are happier too

Well here's mine.

i simply had to try this test on my new laptop

this is a vast improvement on my old system which took 3m 08s

[Fletch]

very nice. that would imply that the i7 in the laptop is more efficient today than the similar i7920 in a desktop from 2 years ago.

and they are nearly half the price of the same laptop of a year ago

overall, i am pretty impressed....

....and the money i have saved paid for my latest traffic offence....!!!

I just recently bought this Asus laptop:

I got a similar result as Gareth posted - 31 seconds. I love my new laptop and how well Twilight runs on it.

Thanks,

Not too bad for an 'older' machine

I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to post this ...

I've been using a decrepit old laptop for 2 years now. It was incredibly frustrating and I was getting nowhere with Twilight as everything was taking sooooo looooooooong. Anyway, I recently took the plunge and bought a new laptop. This test (after downloading SU and migrating my plugins) is the first thing I have done on it.

So, here goes!! ....

So was it worth getting excited about?!
