Do Windows and Linux perform differently when it comes to rendering? We tested Blender and V-Ray on Windows and Ubuntu to see how performance stacks up.
Rendering Benchmarks vs Reality
Rendering benchmarks are great for comparisons, but do they accurately predict render times? We tested real projects across Blender and V-Ray to find out.
Exploring PIX4Dmatic Hardware Performance
We explored the impact of different CPUs and GPUs on PIX4Dmatic performance, as well as comparing a few laptops and an older desktop against modern PCs.
Render at Scale: High-Density CPU and GPU Servers
Removing render bottlenecks. High-density servers offer unmatched performance-per-rack, with the flexibility to handle rendering, AI/ML, and beyond.
Is it Worth Upgrading to NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Series for 3D Artists?
NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs are here, but are they good for 3D artist’s workflows and worth the upgrade?
Understanding Modern Desktop PC Hardware for Workstations
Stay up to date with the latest desktop PC hardware—CPUs, RAM, storage solutions, and GPUs—all broken down in one comprehensive resource.
Puget Systems Most Reliable Hardware of 2024
With 2024 wrapped up, we want to take the opportunity to call out specific brands and models that had exceptional reliability over the last year.
Puget Systems Hardware Trends of 2024
With 2024 at a close, we wanted to look back at the sales trends we saw for CPUs, GPUs, storage, RAM and operating systems.
What H.264 and H.265 Hardware Decoding is Supported in Premiere Pro?
Premiere Pro supports hardware-based decoding for H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) which can significantly improve performance with these codecs, but not all “flavors” of these codecs are supported depending on the bit depth and chroma subsampling used. In addition, support can change depending on the capability of the hardware in your system. In order to determine exactly what is supported, we decided to do our own testing to see exactly what types of H.264/5 media has hardware decoding support in Premiere Pro.
What H.264 and H.265 Hardware Decoding is Supported in DaVinci Resolve Studio?
Davinci Resolve Studio supports hardware-based decoding for H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) which can significantly improve performance with these codecs, but not all “flavors” of these codecs are supported depending on the bit depth and chroma subsampling used. In addition, support can change depending on the capability of the hardware in your system. In order to determine exactly what is supported, we decided to do our own testing to see exactly what types of H.264/5 media has hardware decoding support in DaVinci Resolve Studio.
