What's the best CPU one could get for rendering and video editing under 300$?

>>	Anonymous Sun May 5 20:06:22 2013 No.351238 Rendering is multithreaded, what you want is the CPU with most physical cores available. Whatever else probably won't make much of a difference compared with the speedup you can get from just more cores. Who even renders on the CPU these days though?

>>	Anonymous Mon May 6 13:45:06 2013 No.351433 >>351238 >even renders on the CPU these days Uhm, most rendering is still done on CPU, not GPU. We're a ways off from having any sort of usable cheap GPU rendering on consumer budgets.

Anonymous Tue May 7 17:05:46 2013 No.351842

>>351837
I am.

The reasons I want to upgrade are the following:

- Takes me 1 1/2 to 2 hours to render/encode a 15 min 1080p video in x264 in avidemux
- Takes me 3 hours to render a 200 frame, 720p, draft final gather, low image precision/aa, No GI or caustics animation in 3ds max.
- I get 15- 25 fps average outside in skyrim with an ENB( default one, regardless of what is active with the ENB, everything in the ENB can be turned off and I get only like 3 fps back) and a semi high res texturepack.

I want to cut down number one to 45 min to an hour, the second to 45 or an hour, and for the third, at least a stable 30 fps outside in skyrim with the default ENB and the lite versions of high res texture packs (normally 1k instead of the average 2k for high res packs)

>>	Anonymous Tue May 7 20:21:17 2013 No.351919 >>351915 Nope. >>351916 Honestly, no. I'm assuming it's my CPU, because it's the most likely culprit. For skyrim it could easily be the Vram though, as my GPU only has 1 gig.

Not listing to one side or the other but i much like the price/performance ratio to the fx8350
>inb4 amd fanboy detected
i have a fx8350 system and an i7 3820 system
>inb4 amd sucks shit
decent and great god damn price

>>352419
What are your current specs please? All the parts.

I have 3x ivy bridge i7 boxes. They're essentially a mobo, 32gb ram, and the cpu. 64gb SSDs. They render and dump frames across the network to a server. textures are also on the server. The K series chips are necessary if you want to OC. I have K chips, 4.0ghz, cooled on air, Noctua coolers.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 9 21:12:23 2013 No.352564 >>351187 If your video software supports GPU rendering, go with that. When it comes to general purpose computing the GPU beats any CPU by orders of magnitude. For your budget i would suggest GTX 660Ti.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 9 22:07:53 2013 No.352577 >>352454 Use software that let you monitor how much each thing is being used. Artificially limit the performance of one component at a time and see how the software does. Etc.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 10 10:19:40 2013 No.352696 Just putting it out there I'm using a Xeon E3 which is the same price as an i5k the difference being that this has hyperthreading and you can't OC it but OC'ing is for faggot man-children so it's better.

>>	anonymous Fri May 10 14:02:10 2013 No.352743 >>352577 Well, what else could it be that can be measured other than the CPU and GPU? and since I render via CPU, that's the only possible thing unless the mobo or hard drive is slowing it down somehow.

Ram access times.
I/O operations.
Swap/vram usage and if any pagefaults happen (because well, a few pagefaults could fuck your shit).
Number of threads used at what CPU %.
Etc.

You'll probably need something like a binary profiler to tell you what the program spends the most time doing, or the Linux "top" or "vmstat" commands.
I'm not really sure if there are any good binary profilers around though.

>>	Anonymous Sat May 18 04:42:29 2013 No.354507 >>353053 General rule is, running below 90c is fine, between 90-100 is going to be degrading your CPU, and over 100c is getting into error and crash territory.
