Hello! Your project sounds interesting but a bit unclear. Are you trying to compare performance between your current 3rd gen i7 and an i5-11400F for video editing tasks? It’s good to know your setup, especially since you’re using it as a render server and want to avoid slowing down gaming. Let me know if you’d like help interpreting benchmarks or understanding the impact on quality and speed!
I run a Core 2 Quad on one of my render servers, and its performance matches what you get with an Xeon for raytraced content. It just runs about six times slower.
I understand, I create a bunch of clips combined, right? That wouldn't be live encoding, would it?
Your approach sounds solid. A mix of NAS and remote desktop can streamline operations effectively.
I use a Core 2 Quad q9650 and q9550 in my rendering setup. Sometimes I rely on the Cinema 4D Team Render tool for larger projects but usually prefer other methods. The machines are connected via network drives and accessed through Remote Desktop. For a batch of 300 frames, I split them evenly—assigning 0-59 to one machine, 60-119 to another, and using Cinema 4D’s frame selection limits. Then I render the remaining frames on my workstation, which completes around the same time. Afterward, I download the remaining files from the network drive to my workstation and combine them in the video editor.
