My experience with hardware upgrade

JimPierce08

I've just upgraded a fast machine to a faster one, and I setup a quick-and-dirty test of rendering to see what the improvement was, objectively.

Old machine: i7-7700 32GB GTX1080 8GB Cuda 9

New machine: i9-9900 64GB RTX2080ti 11GB Cuda 10.1

Neither machine overclocked.

Scene selected somewhat randomly was PW Bikini Island, rendered at 1920x1080, with render stopped at 200 iterations.

1080 GPU only 4 minutes 29 seconds

1080+CPU 4 minutes 20 seconds

2080 GPU only 1 minute 15 seconds

2080+CPU 1 minute 12 seconds
