Haha no problem, they released radeon pro w5700, im kinda hoping for a refresh of the other cards with RDNA, but might not happen Yeah that was what i was thinking, so she can keep it current for as long as possible, also why i only populate 2/4 ram slots and 1 pcie socket i think im going balls to the wall for cooling due to define c constriction, going with a U12A, and 3x A12x25 PWM case fans. On top of this ill move to Reds instead of consumer tier hdd. Also i realize the titanium PSU might be abit over the top, moving to a Fractal Design ion+ 760 platinum Thus ending with: PCPartPicker Part List: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/HpcNPn CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9 GHz 8-Core Processor (€389.00 @ Mindfactory) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12A 60.09 CFM CPU Cooler (€99.90 @ Amazon Deutschland) Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard (€199.00 @ Amazon Deutschland) Memory: G.Skill Trident Z 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory (€153.62 @ Mindfactory) Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (€104.93 @ Amazon Deutschland) Storage: Western Digital Red 4 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive (€119.89 @ Alternate) Storage: Western Digital Red 4 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive (€119.89 @ Alternate) Video Card: AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 8 GB Video Card (€400.00 @ Amazon Deutschland) Case: Fractal Design Define C ATX Mid Tower Case (€86.89 @ Alternate) Power Supply: Fractal Design Ion+ 760 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (€129.90 @ Caseking) Case Fan: Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM 60.1 CFM 120 mm Fan (€29.90 @ Amazon Deutschland) Case Fan: Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM 60.1 CFM 120 mm Fan (€29.90 @ Amazon Deutschland) Case Fan: Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM 60.1 CFM 120 mm Fan (€29.90 @ Amazon Deutschland) Total: €1892.72 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-11-20 01:49 CET+0100

No blender, no rendering. Basically only viewport performance

Yes it is that exactly FirePro over the Radeon Pro line? Yeah that sounds like the way forward. i haven't payed to much attention lately to GN's case reviews I didn't know this, maybe a U12A then?

Here i was looking at efficiency at given load, to not waste power, yes it is way over the top. But for work i would say certified reliablity over good reviews. Maybe im wrong. She wants discreet, and most importantly quiet. Plus i dont wanna choke the GPU or CPU. No. As i said no overclocking, and with a higher base clock, the 3800x should perform better in alot of the use cases. If i were to overclock, i would agree, but she doesn't think 70€ is worth the risk. Solidworks wont accept non workstation GPUs. I want workstation drivers and reliability. Again this is a workstation, reliability > price/performance. She will be doing stress simulations, warp simulation, thermomechanical simulation etc.

Hey Forums Im planning a build for my girlfriend, she is graduating with a master in materials and manufacturing. She wants a computer to do CAD modelling on that will run smoothly, reliably and for many years. She wants to be able to run the entire suite of CAD programs; Fusion360, Solidworks, Creo, Ansys, Comsol, Catia and maybe 3dsMax. So basically everything. I created this suggested build, with at 970 evo plus as boot drive and for programs, 2 baracuda 4tb in raid 1 for redundant project storage. Was thinking raid 10 but that might be too expensive with 4 drives. I also selected a wx7100 because screw nvidia, Ideally i want the new w5700 when it drops, but that might not be super worth it for her case with close to no rendering, i don't know. Im not gonna do overclocking, as i want it to be as stable as possible, hence 3800x over 3700x.

This is exactly why im looking into PCoIP or Blast Extreme ? for viewport performance of various 3d design tools, and to make it feel like a local computer.

That is definitely an option, but i would like not to be bound by my amount of expensive docking stations. I want a close to lossless and low latency connection, though i havent tried it on my LAN only WAN a few years ago. It is for a home lab, meant for me and my girlfriend’s engineering work. Thanks for the hint, i didn’t know VMUG existed, this might be the route i‘m going, with something like “NoTouch OS” on the rpi4s. Thank you ?

Hello Forum I’ve recently been looking into making a VM server and have thus been searching for the proper OS to suit my needs. Ideally i want it like VMware Horizon, with which a thin client/zero client can just connect over PCoIP (or blast extreme in this case), no VNC or RDP. The only real candidate i have been able to find, is a mix of all the open source offerings, XCP-ng as hypervisor, Xen Orchestra as manager, and UDS Enterprise as VDI broker. On my small test system, XCP-ng and XO works without issue, however UDS Enterprise will copy the VM and boot it, but cant connect to it. Either im doing something wrong, or the current version is borked. Anyone have a suggestion to another route, or are an expert in UDS Enterprise and can help? It would be much appreciated! My end goal is to have the server stashed somewhere, with 2 rpi4 as thin/zero clients at the desk.

This is true, HiSilicon etc. are only fabs right now building a licensed technology and improving it on the manufacturing level. Huawei could simply make the switch to the open source RISC-V ISA (instruction set architecture) developed by berkeley, which most high-end companies are investigating and building prototypes upon. Yes it was made in america, but no license required. Should be an easy port from ARM to RISC-V since it is essentially the same, but simpler. Maybe Huawei is now forced to kick off true RISC-V development

I googled it a bit, here is GNs tests, american price to performance of p2000 and wx7100 is about the same, it is not as bad as a geforce card. Looking at local prices however p2000 is almost $300 cheaper than wx7100, and p4000 is $150 more expensive than wx7100, so I will go with both a p2000 and p4000 since both of us may need it at the same time. Also reason why I didn't include fans is that I have some LL120 laying around Floorplanning and things involved with FPGA design can require a fuckton of ram, thus I won't downgrade the 128GB. The optimal synthesis is also dependent on number of cores, which is also why I don't want to downgrade from 16 cores. Plan so far is to give the girlfriend the P4000, 4 cores and 32GB of ram, when we are splitting resources, and then keep the rest for myself , hopefully I can dynamically allocate resources, so if one client is running that they get all the resources. I have never tried unRAID or ESXi, or any hypervisor really.

Hello. Im planning a build for my girlfriend and I. We are both engineering students, and both of us need some decent compute power, in our daily tasks. I am therefore planning a build - for when we can afford it. I am considering this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9hV9MZ On top of this I would probably add a Quadro (P2000 or P4000?) for Matlab acceleration or maybe my old GTX970 is fine? My goal is to do something ala 2 gamers one CPU, where we can dynamically allocate however many cores we need, using a hypervisor. The Radeon wx7100 is for SOLIDWORKS acceleration for my girlfriend. I pretty much only need CPU power for Xilinx Vivado, as well as some CUDA acceleration for Matlab. On top of this I added a 2x10Gb NIC cause my thought is to run the clients on a Mac mini or similar NUC with 10gig ethernet, so we can do super fast transfers and save on some power, only running the workstation when needed. I plan to run the workstation as headless as possible. Do you have any improvement suggestions or ways to make it cheaper (a lot of the components are chosen due to them being cheaper in Denmark) and faster? I guess my budget is floating, and also needs to be converted from US to Monopoly money, So that leaves me at a preferred US$3500, but I might be able to stretch to US$4500, if it is worth it.

Ive dual booted ubuntu. Why dont you just install it if you dont like yosimite?

I still have a running early 2011 macbook pro. All it needs is a new battery and it can last even longer. It never got metal support, so it sucks at anything graphical, but for anything else it is fine. Oh and i upgraded the hard disk to an ssd. How many windows users can say they still have a fully functioning 7 year old computer? Im curious.

I think ill try to inject drivers and hope it works. If it doesnt then i will either do windows server 2016 and hyper-v or make it a full on windows gaming rig with network storage (and ditch freeNAS) What is most important for me is just to be able to access my documents and computer from anywhere and to get some more fps than my laptop adding more os’s would be a bonus tho. So i guess it is just a matter of figuring out how.

Im doing it to save an installation slot so i later can add more storage. I did/am, but the data i will put on it at this point isnt THAT important to have redundancy. In the future i would get more and run a redundant raid. I will get more when the prices calm down, i think i will use vSphere, due to me already being invested in vmware, and the less windows shenanigans the better.
