AMD and Intel Renderfarm

#1

For years i believed that i couldn’t mix Intels and AMDs to render the same scene because procedurals renders in a different way.

But, i made a mistake and mixed both CPUs in the configuration of my last render job. For my surprise, there was no difference between AMD’s and Intel’s renders. Of course my scenes are using a lot of procedurals.

So, my question is, when did this changed ? It’s a fix from newtek during 9.x revisions ? or the fix comes from CPU manufacturers ? I’m hallucinating ?

My rendefarm: 8 dual Core AMDs and 1 new Quad Core Intel

hmm…that’s good to know. I haven’t set up a net render yet because I’ve only got my spare AMD to test with at the moment but that might change.

Can anyone else check this out before I get too excited.

Ive had no issues recently either. I sometimes have to swap all the frames from an animation between an Intel and Amd machine mid render (FPRIME) and have not had any issues, apart from Fprime ones.
