Adib,
Glad to hear you're enjoying your Raptor. Wish I could afford one. (or 2,
or 3…)
Any chance you could upload a couple of scenes with Raptor render times? I
was thinking of scenes with raytraced shadows, reflections, ect. The sort
of stuff that really bogs down LW on animation.
It's one thing to look at benchmarks for the Raptor but quite another to
render a scene that took a few minutes on one and have it tie up a normal
Toaster system for an hour or two.
Also, do you notice a huge speed increase on scenes that render quickly,
(say 5 minutes/frame on a 4000/40) or does the overhead of moving the data
to the Raptor then back to the Toaster eat up the speed increase?
