MSI GT60-2OK 3K Mobile Workstation Review

Blender Render

Blender is a free and open source 3D animation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. Advanced users employ Blender’s API for Python scripting to customize the application and write specialized tools; often these are included in Blender’s future releases. Blender is well suited to individuals and small studios who benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development process. Examples from many Blender-based projects are available in the showcase.

Blender is cross-platform and runs equally well on Linux, Windows and Macintosh computers. Its interface uses OpenGL to provide a consistent experience. To confirm specific compatibility, the list of supported platforms indicates those regularly tested by the development team.

The benchmark file that we use to render is not part of the official software download, however with a huge database of performance results and a simple to run test, this is one of the few tests that we run to push the system in an environment where it is best suited.

Render Time Comparison

With Blenders performance relational to both the type of processor and the number of cores to hand, we find that render times are a lot longer than that of the dual Xeon setup, but with a time only a few seconds slower than a stock 4770k, the GT60-2OK has fairly respectable render time.
