Vulcan sits on his fiery throne

 The new workstation is mostly set up. Blender is installed, and countless add-ons and asset packs are installed. We're ready for business, I think.

Side-by-side render competition


Errr.... what?

The new machine is fast, but it's not wildly faster than the 4090 machine. Other system parts, such as the PCIe 5 SSD and latest-gen CPU, might help reduce some bottlenecks, but the side-by-side render test didn't show a wild uplift in rendering performance.

There will be more testing to follow...

So far, okay. The quirks: The machine initially didn't boot up. Then, I installed the latest GPU driver and was rewarded with a BLACK SCREEN—the very thing these driver updates are supposed to fix.
