Dragon skunk, I been on here Since iC3. You say that your GPU does this and your CPU doesn't do this, but you never state what CPU you have, or had upgraded from, the same with your video card. Since I've been on iClone, I used a AMD 8150, then a Intel i7-6900X. I went from 16GB of RAM to 128 GB RAM, and every increase of RAM, I was able to add more avatars into a scene without freezing. The CPU does not start up Windows faster, your C: Drive does. I've been building IBM compatible computers, and since 1986, and doing electronics since 1958, so stop it. Show us what you compared your results with. I've bee doing this forever on this forum. If you're going to make a statement about computer components with iClone, then show us what components you came to your results were? What CPU's did you change to since you used iClone? I'm thinking about getting the $2000 threadripper and using 256 GB of RAM. You shouldn't come here talking about what does what and what doesn't if you haven't compared results yourself. Want a view of my electronics background search Facebook for Rich Greenidge. When it comes to electronics, I'm the best. And if you don't believe so ask the friends I worked with. And you? Anyone who tells me, their CPU is more important than the CPU, has not been upgrading their computer regularly, or know much about the computers. The best GPU isn't twice as fast a $200 GPU. But the fastest CPU is 4.4X as fast as a $200 CPU.
https://www.passmark.com/ Make sure if you buy a new CPU, it 3X's faster than the one you have or you won't see much difference. Now what CPU did you do your iClone comparisons with? I don't tell people how things work, because I heard it or it sounds good. I test things out myself, then I tell you what results I got, what I got before, and all the components I used to get to that conclusion. I still have a mechanical, C drive, and Solid state F drive for my DAW. This is the 3rd, CPU for this computer and do you know how fast these faster CPU's boot my Windows? Zero, because they have to wait for the hardrive, to transfer my program to the RAM. Again. what CPU did you use when you started with iClone, and what CPU do you have now? Have a great week.
