sphilips Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Hello! I'm looking for advice on what Apple Studio M2 to specify. This is what I was planning to get...... Apple M2 Max with 12‑core CPU, 38‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine 64GB unified memory 1TB SSD storage but wonder if its worth spending another £400 to get 96GB unified memory? The M2 Ultra is just too expensive and also I think not neccessary for me. The heaviest models I tend to build are up to 500MB. But thats before lighting and textures. This is what I am working on at the moment: iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) 4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4 GB Which copes well with most models - but viewports and renders can take a while. I also use Rhino and am starting to learn Blender. Any advice on what spec would be best for me would be very much appreciated! Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I think the configuration is pretty ok. Especially as you can still work with your project size with your current iMac. I would not invest too much in a M2 Studio which may be updated significantly in about a year or so. But if you can't wait and need it now and do not spend to much, you can upgrade to a new machine a bit earlier. But I think for your VW, Rhino and Blender usage, your M2 configuration should again be sufficient for quite some coming years and a noticeable speed bump over your current iMac. 1 Quote Link to comment
