Windows has clearly needed more polish than Linux, given that it wasn’t until this past summer when AMD could consider its quest for optimal threading complete. Since the release of those (now last-gen) Threadrippers, both Linux and Windows have received updates to improve threading on big CPUs, and improve performance on their respective platforms in general. An explicit example we remember is with 7-zip its built-in benchmark didn’t scale well with the 2990WX in Windows, but did just fine in Linux.

At launch, many reviewers encountered performance anomalies, but in some cases, those anomalies proved to be nonexistent in Linux. When AMD released its second-gen Ryzen Threadripper last year, its top-end model offered 32 cores, and 64 threads. Windows performance debate, another element is thrown in with the fact that software optimizations can differ between OSes, ultimately making it difficult to predict which route would be quicker. Imagine they start work together on one project - 3 teams with 3 different approaches and philosophies.Desktop users have always cared about software optimization, and as soon as many-core CPUs began to hit the market, it became immediately clear that not all software is developed alike. Looking for very fast and good quality render and you are willing to pay for it? - Use Octane.Įvery of those have their own philosophy - and we have a choice. Looking for super realism and physically correct light behavior - Use LuxCore Looking for relatively simple and fast renderer for simple scenes? -Use Cycles. Have a possibility to choose what fit your needs is much better, than have one big mess what is able to do everything, but nothing really good - and no other reasonable options to choose from. Do the same with Windows and Linux and you got the same result - MS finally close the doors :DĪbout V-Ray - we are on Blender related website - I'm sure not even 1% of Blenderheads use V-Ray and I'm sure most of Blender users use Cycles - very close to 100%Ībout "concentrating efforts" - This is good idea, but also not good at same time.Įverything is about compromises.

Replace Cycles by LuxCore and in about year most people will use LuxCore, not a Cycles. So this is and was a waste of my time, just for Ubuntutututututu aka WinUixĬompare Cycles and WIndows is in the place. This product is built for Ubuntu 16.04 - you may encounter errors.
