    PC specification.. Any thoughts?

    in Rendering

    Hi HerbieHerb and Zoomer,

     

    Thanks for the great advice, I can see that you are both in agreement about the motherboard being over-specified. I think I'm gonna go for the 550 as you suggested Zoomer. 

    But not the 570, HerbieHerb, good to be clear it provides PCIE 4.0 which I don't need..(or an extra fan)

     

    There is such a deep level of technical knowledge here....which you folk have...

     

    Threadripper would be good, I took a look, but at £1000 it doesn't really make sense, I only use Renderworks about 20% of the time. The rest of the time I use Vectorworks, (40%) Photoshop (20%) emailing the rest....

     

    I am hoping this setup will be good for photoshop and Vectorworks too.

     

    The entire tower should be delivered for £1,250 so its really inexpensive compared to my current Dell Precision 3530 laptop, which was listed for more than this..with far less power...

    I've never ordered a custom PC before, so a bit concerned in case they go bust after I place the order or something else goes wrong... its not the same as having the Dell 3 year on site guarantee...I would buy it with a credit card, but only have a company debit card..

     

    Do you have a view on the 32 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400MHZ RAM? Does this have to be matched to any of the other components..I read that I don't need to match this to the motherboard. (but would it improve performance?)

     

    Thanks again to both of you for your great advice. Its very much appreciated.

    Hi Everyone,

     

    I am specifying a custom build PC for Renderworks and never have done this before, not really my strong point.. Does anyone have any thoughts on the following tower system spec:

     

    AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12 core CPU 3.1-4.3 GHZ.

     

    Asus Rog Strix X570F Gaming motherboard

     

    32 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400MHZ RAM

     

    6GB NVIDIA GeFORCE GTX 1660Ti

     

    250GB seagate SSD

     

    In particular if I understand correctly, the Geforce GTX is all that is needed for looking at the plan view, and the 12 core is the best way to get fast rendering, based on ; 

     

     

    I am unsure about the motherboard in particular its recommended verbally by the sales guy, but £200 more expensive than many of the alternatives.

     

    Thanks

     

    Ivan
