i want to get a new machine and was wondering about mantra/local houdiniROPs ….are they optimized for the P4?
i've seen benchmarks for other renderers which have had optimizations and they make a huge difference when compared to the AMD chips.
is this the case with houdini?
thanks

thanks guys!
good to see that both work equally well with houdini as this gives me greater choice for a new machine.
i was just thinking this may not be the case after seeing some lightwave and cinema4d render tests. these two tools had P4 optimized renderers and left AMD well behind….i think it had something to do with SSE2 instruction sets or something along those lines, sorry not too familiar with this stuff.
