Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004

Running the numbers and cooling the engines

I’ve been doing some test renders to really break in my new setup, and already I see drastic improvements when comparing to my old Xeon setup.

To break things down I rendered a clip that was 3:11 long. On H.265 I managed to get it to render in 6 minutes and 23 seconds. Meanwhile H.264 got me 3 minutes and 17 seconds. On my old setup it would be about a minute or two more before completion.

I haven’t been using H.265 for rendering, but now with more support for it I’ll switch despite the longer render time. My test clip when rendered on H.265 was 200mb while on H.264 it was 325mb total.

Quite impressive, this has proven to be worth every penny. :morty: You can expect more videos assuming real life doesn’t get my knickers in a twist. I’ve been working on a couple others today, and will be releasing one tomorrow that was already in the can. It will be my final video with an intro, after reading around I’ve decided to just drop intros and add more content instead unless I find a good reason to add one to a particular video. I’m not a big enough YouTuber to really get away with having them for every video.
