LUMENRT FOR BLENDER PROFESSIONAL

Headset connection is straightforward as, unlike most professional GPUs, it has one HDMi port in addition to three DisplayPorts. It also gave a solid performance when we tested it in VR with the Oculus Rift. On test, it delivered good scores in our game engine design viz applications.

It’s not a fully-fledged member of AMD’s Radeon Pro WX family, but does use the same drivers so should get all the same benefits, including application optimisations, but without the certifications.

This dual height graphics card is a bit of a black sheep in the world of professional graphics. Our test machine also came with the air-cooled version of the powerful AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition GPU. The Workstation Specialists WS-1160A is not just about its fast multicore CPU. Workstation Specialists told us that it can go even higher than 3,000MHz, depending on demand and availability in the market.

The decision to use 3,000MHz memory, as opposed to the standard 2,400MHz, is important here as memory speed can have a big impact on performance on Threadripper, particularly when rendering. The machine features 64GB of 3,000MHz DDR4 memory spread over four 16GB DIMMs to get the most out of Threadripper’s quad channel memory architecture. It’s around 18% slower than the Scan 3XS WI6000 Viz. The 111 seconds it took to export an IGES model from SolidWorks is on par with the Lenovo ThinkStation Tiny P320, which has a low wattage Intel Core i7-7700T CPU. While the Workstation Specialists WS-1160A stands out when hammering all 16 cores on a ray trace render, it doesn’t fare as well in single threaded workflows.

The machine features a choice of two CPUs. The Workstation Specialists WS-1160A is a new Threadripper-based workstation ideal for CAD users who also rely heavily on ray trace rendering and real-time viz or VR. Delivering up to 16 cores at high frequencies for under $1,000, Threadripper was the catalyst for Intel slashing prices on its high core count Core i9 CPUs, which is a win for everyone. While Threadripper might not have an outright performance lead over Intel, it has already had an impact on the market due to its competitive price / performance.

Things changed in 2017 with the launch of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU.
