YES! If it looks sexy, it will feel sexy, and thus render way sexier.. which, in my sexiest opinion, is better.
Win10Pro || GA-X99-SOC-Champion || i7 5820k w/ H60 || 32GB DDR4 || 3x EVGA RTX 2070 Super Hybrid || EVGA Supernova G2 1300W || Tt Core X9 || LightWave Plug (v4 for old gigs) || Blender E-Cycles
OK, my machine doesn't need to be sexy, just needs to render loads of stuff...
So back to original question -
a. replace board/cpu (if so, what stable 7 pcie options do I have with either i7, i9 or AMD?)
b. replace xeons maybe for higher frequency? - I haven't looked into that
c. build new box maybe based on threadripper - as far as I can tell, there are only 4 gpu boards for that - so maybe 4 2080 ti?
d. other?
Any insight that doesn't involve looks?
