Recently, the buzz around the domestic AAA game Black Myth: Wukong has sparked in-depth discussions about the future of Chinese-made games. For those working in the animation and game rendering industry, have you ever faced these struggles?

• The client demands increasingly intense and flashy fight scenes, but your server constantly crashes, forcing you to restart the project again and again? "It's driving me nuts!#%@!"

• You spend hours perfecting the details—lighting, textures, and physics—only to be criticized for producing "low-budget effects"?

• In pursuit of higher resolution and image quality, your render times stretch endlessly, and production costs keep skyrocketing? "My wallet can’t take it anymore!"

Is there a faster, more cost-effective rendering solution? First, let’s break it down.

Types of Rendering

Offline Rendering

Offline rendering produces high-quality visuals by pre-calculating scenes with advanced rendering parameters. It is widely used in animated films, commercials, and other post-production-heavy areas where high fidelity is essential.

Real-Time Rendering

Real-time rendering uses GPU acceleration to process large amounts of data and generate high-quality visuals instantly. This method is crucial in interactive applications like video games and VR, where image generation must happen in real-time.

Cloud Rendering

Cloud rendering leverages vast computational resources from cloud platforms to handle complex rendering tasks. Unlike traditional rendering, which requires local machine power, cloud rendering can achieve more efficient and flexible outcomes, though it requires robust network bandwidth for real-time data transfers.

Maximizing Efficiency and Savings

Rendering, especially at high quality, demands significant computing power—powerful CPUs, GPUs, and massive memory resources. So, is there a more efficient and cost-effective way to render? Absolutely! Choosing the right rendering server can be a game-changer.

Gooxi AMD Single-Socket 4U 8-GPU Server: The Ultimate Cost-Effective Solution

Leading in Price-to-Performance Ratio

The Gooxi AMD Single-Socket 4U 8-GPU Server offers an industry-first minimalist architecture with a single AMD CPU supporting up to 8 GPUs. With unbeatable value, this server uses a single, high-frequency AMD EPYC 7003/7002/7001 processor with a max TDP of 240W, ensuring excellent video rendering performance.

Unique Motherboard Design

Unlike most 8-GPU servers that rely on a motherboard with a separate GPU adapter board, the Gooxi server features an integrated self-developed motherboard. The CPU directly outputs PCIe signals, ensuring zero-latency GPU-CPU communication.

It supports 8 PCIe 3.0 x8 slots (with high-end models offering PCIe 4.0), perfect for full-length, dual-width GPUs, and a highly efficient thermal design with front and rear fan configurations optimized for cooling.

Flexible Configuration Options

This server allows you to configure up to 8 dual-width or 6 triple-width full-length GPUs, making it ideal for animation rendering at any scale. For large-scale, high-resolution projects, you can opt for up to 8 high-end GPUs like the RTX 4090 to maximize parallel computing power, reducing rendering time and ensuring consistent quality.

For projects with tighter budgets or less urgency, more affordable options like the 2080Ti or 3090 GPUs are available, allowing you to strike the perfect balance between cost and performance.

Client Endorsements

Some clients have even reported buying second-hand 3090 GPUs to use with their Gooxi platform, proving how cost-effective and flexible this setup can be.

Modular Storage Design

The server supports modular storage options, with 4 rear-mounted 2.5" SATA/SAS drives as standard, expandable to 8 drives, and 4 internal 2.5" SATA drives.

Stable Support for Long-Term Maintenance

Choosing the right GPU, distributing memory efficiently, and customizing server configurations are all key to maximizing rendering efficiency. Gooxi has over a decade of experience in the custom server industry and offers professional support, including BIOS and BMC performance tuning. This helps users fully optimize computational resources and enjoy tailored rendering services.

With a focus on cost-efficiency and high performance, Gooxi’s solutions have been adopted by several leading rendering companies—proven and trusted by industry giants.

Other High-Performance Server Options

For those with larger budgets, Gooxi offers other top-tier servers like the Intel Eagle Stream 4U 8-GPU server and the Intel Whitley Dual-Socket 4U 10-GPU AI server. Whether you need offline, real-time, or cloud rendering, Gooxi has the right solution for every need.
