Right now I'm debating whether to go with 2 RX 480 on crossfire or 2 of the GPU listed on the table on SLI. But for the initial build, I will only buy one card and buy the second card down the road. I won't be overclocking the GPU and CPU but only the RAM since this mobo requires an overclock to reach the 3200 MHz clock speed. But is it better to buy a 2666 RAM and go 32 GB already or should I prioritize RAM speed/capacity when it comes to rendering? I plant to use Blender Cycles for rendering.

Hello, I've recently been presented with the need to work a lot from home and as such am in need of a good workstation. However, I'm not familiar with the current market or a workstations requirements. In addition, I need this relatively quickly and don't exactly have a lot of time to do research, so I'd greatly appreciate some help. I have experience with multiple gaming PC builds in the past and am looking forward to the build, but I'd like some suggestions on what suites my needs before I buy anything. I don't want to jump in and impulsively buy gaming parts if they don't fill my need. I'm an architect and mainly use AutoCAD and Rivet, as well as various Adobe products and Microsoft Office. Focus is primarily program performance but I'd like the ability to play the occasional game comfortably. I'd like to spend $800-$1000 USD (Looking to take advantage of Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals) but wouldn't be opposed to extending that if it truly makes sense. My hope is to get about 6-7 years of practical use out of it before needing to upgrade again. I have a few things I'd like answered but feel free to extend beyond. Open discussion and build suggestions desired. I'd like to stick with Intel for the CPU. Should I buy an i7 or Xeon processor? Assuming I do a lot of rendering, more cores on a Xeon would be helpful but is it really needed for a home workstation? If so, is it recommended to have a dual Xeon motherboard? I realize this will push me over the price point but again, if it makes sense then I'd rather be able to get my work done efficiently than restrict myself with a cost limit. Thoughts on second hand Xeon via eBay? If i7 makes more sense, the 6700K seems to be the best option at the moment; thoughts? Given the programs CPU heavy use, would it make sense to water cool? I'll be using a full tower with good air flow but I'm not sure how hot this will get under load. I know there is gaming specific RAM on the market. Is there RAM designed for CAD use as well? I'm not educated on timing or frankly RAM in general, so a quick explanation would be appreciated. Depending on the CPU and RAM recommendations, please recommend a motherboard that would make sense. I'm currently working on an old rig running two 1080p monitors off a GTX9800. I will likely be upgrading to a 4K monitor in the future for added real estate to work in, but will not be purchasing a monitor at the moment. GPU requirements would be the ability to run my current two monitors with the future ability to output 4K, as well as being able to run the occasional casual game comfortably. Since the programs aren't GPU heavy, I assume SLI or Crossfire is pointless, correct? PSU obviously depends on my power needs from the other components, but I'd like to avoid anything below an 80 Plus Silver rating. I'll be using a current HDD for random files but am in need of a good SSD for running Windows and programs. Feel free to ask anything I may have left out. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi all! So glad to have discovered this community. I had someone tell me "Always listen to Linus. Linus is god." With such a glaringly positive review I had to check it out! I'm a 3D artist using Unreal Engine 4, Zbrush, Maya, 3dsMax (probably other DCC apps too), Substance Designer and Painter. I am also a gamer but this requirement is secondary. I like things to look decent. I'll be doing some streaming and probably stream content creation as well. Anything above 1440p is not a concern. 1080p gaming is fine by me. Refresh rate is more important to me as I stare at computers all day long. Here's a link to the build on pc part picker. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/zjJcM8 Originally I had the Corsair H100i V2 liquid cpu cooler. I've been told conflicting things about liquid cooling. Not sure what to do here. I'm not sure what else to share. The price of DDR4 has come down and I thought this was a nice mix of future tech and budget building. Thank you for taking a look at it! -Jud

hardware Hardware for 3D modeling and render
jorgen posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I'll getting a pc built for 3D modeling and rendering and I wonder what I need of hardware? What is most important, cpu, gpu, ram, ssd, hdd, what and how much The biggest problem is to navigate in big 3D models. Render time, and the time it takes for the render application to start is long in big 3D models. The programs wer mostly use at work is Archicad, Vray and Skechup Pro I have read that Vray render with cpu. what is the point of buying a good graphics card then? -
Good morning, I am a Graphic Designer and a 3D Generalist. This year I'll work in a new office and I need a laptop to work in mobility with my colleagues. I use all CC Apps, Maya, 3Ds Max, Octane and other software. Yesterday, when we were trying to work on a new ADV brief, I realized that I was not able to write decently on my phone, to create a new ID document or to search information on the web and easily share them. Before that event I was searching for a Pro 3D Desktop workstation to replace my 8 Core Mac Pro and use Windows for 3D workflow. I know that desktop are more powerful that laptop, I am a prosumer, I know this things but I need some suggest on which Brand Buy or model. I know that Laptop Pascal are very similar to their Desktop Brothers and that if you need more GPU power you can use an External GPU Case like the Razer Core. I need a light and durable laptop with a quad core CPU, with the new Pascal GPU and a PCIe SSD with good Write/Read Speed. I was looking the Razer Blade and the new 15" Alienware with 1070, 16Gb Ram and 512 PCIe SSD. Thank you for all you suggestion :). -
I've had my 3D printer for a while and I've started to run out of ideas that I can model for it, I decided to draw a picture and now I'm wondering how I can convert it to an STL file or anything that can be opened in a slicer. I have Paint.net and inkscape as image software, blender and c4d for making/rendering models, and I use cura as my slicer software. Any help would be great!

So I am returning for my second year studying game design and the primary programs we use are 3DS Max and UE4. Due to "travel related trauma" my motherboards second RAM slot has just given up on life and my computer wouldn't even post if I had RAM in that slot. For the past few months I've been running with 8Gb in one slot (which is fine for gaming over the summer) but in my first year I had 16Gb across the two slots. I am wondering if I need to replace my motherboard so I can use 16Gb again or would 8Gb of RAM be enough for 3D modelling and game development in UE4, Photoshop etc. I assume it would be fine, especially since I really don't want to spend £129 on a brand new identical motherboard or around the same price for a single 16Gb stick of RAM at the same speed of my 2x8Gb. Any thoughts or whatever would be appreciated, thanks!

I have a monoprice maker select v2. I have to manually level it. I cannot seem to print anything that requires the full bed. If it does require most of the bed or atleast stretches across most of the bed, it will not lay down the first layer well. Usually only a couple parts of it will stick. I try to level each corner in a star pattern. PLA 200c extruder (small prints work well at this temperature) 60c bed 30mm/s 0.2 mm I have it print 3 skirts first and the skirt fails. Any fix?

Hello, I have found a 3D model for a modified volume knob for a Motorola XTS5000 walkie. But once I had it printed the item I found 2 issues with it. Im terrible with modeling so I thought I'd ask here. Ultimately the indicator line needs to be reversed and the pin in the bottom needs to be about 1.5x bigger. If anyone could help me with this issue I would greatly appreciate it! Also if someone can help I have included the model as an attachment. volume_knob.stl

I had this idea of taking a character from a game, like a custom made player character, and exporting it somewhere and having it actually 3D PRINTED, and have it set on my desk or something. However, for one, I don't know if this is possible. Second, aren't there copyright laws that prevent this from being done? I hope this is possible, I'd kill to have Skyrim figures custom made!

Planing to build Threadripper PC for 3D and gaming
ISUther posted a topic in New Builds and Planning
Hello, I am Tanel. From Estonia. I am planing to build new PC due the fact that my old PC is not so good anymore. This is what i have at the moment: CPU Type HexaCore Intel Core i7, 3333 MHz (25 x 133) Motherboard Name Asus Rampage III Extreme (1 PCI, 1 PCI-E x4, 4 PCI-E x16, 6 DDR3 DIMM, Audio, Dual Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394) Motherboard Chipset Intel Tylersburg X58, Intel Westmere System Memory 6135 MB (DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM) DIMM1: Corsair Dominator CM3X2G1866C9D 2 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM (9-9-9-24 @ 666 MHz) (8-8-8-22 @ 592 MHz) (6-6-6-16 @ 444 MHz) DIMM3: Corsair Dominator CM3X2G1866C9D 2 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM (9-9-9-24 @ 666 MHz) (8-8-8-22 @ 592 MHz) (6-6-6-16 @ 444 MHz) DIMM5: Corsair Dominator CM3X2G1866C9D 2 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM (9-9-9-24 @ 666 MHz) (8-8-8-22 @ 592 MHz) (6-6-6-16 @ 444 MHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 (3072 MB) Audio Adapter Realtek ALC889 @ High Definition Audio Controller [10DE-0E1A] [NoDB] Audio Adapter Realtek ALC889 @ Intel 82801JB ICH10 - High Definition Audio Controller Disk Drive OCZ-VERTEX2 ATA Device (111 GB, IDE) And Cooler Master Cosmos S PC case. https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CoolerMaster/Cosmos_S/ And graphics card i have is Nvidia 780ti Programs that i use: zbrush (uses a lot of ram and cpu power) Maya (uses a lot of ram and cpu power) Houdini (uses a lot of ram and cpu power especially with simulations) Substance Painter Substance Designer Mari (Uses a lot of ram) and time to time i play. (World of Warcraft, World of Tanks, Hon, and some other games) Goal is to build new PC that is good in rendering but same time i am able to play on max settings latest games. I do not want xeon cpu-s as the base clock they got is too low. And most Intel parts are overpriced. Ryzen seems to be good If you look at those motherboards https://geizhals.eu/?cat=mbtr4&sort=p Wich one would you prefer and what type of ram. (plan in future is tu max out ram to 128 gb) Will the old case work and what cooling for cpu would you recommend ? -
Hi everyone I've been thinking about getting a 3D printer but I have no idea what to get. I have a budget of around 1000Euro. One thing I'm looking for is value, if it need be I can increase the budget. In addition to that is fillament printer specific or universal? If it is printer specific can you look out for a printer with reasonable fillament prices? The machine should be able to work with PLA and ABS, any more materials would be great Shoot any questions my way! Thank you very much in advance Tugas

Hi all, The company I work for are planning to buy Supermicro rax (configuration not yet decided) to be used for 3d rendering (Max, maya, blender - all CPU based as of now). We have two Supermicro E5-2697 v4 18 core machines with 32 GB RAM currently. Idea is to buy something that can provide thrice the speed of what we have (41x2=82 Gz) under 20,000 Euros. I have been using http://www.thinkmate.com/ to configure different options. Given the fact that we do not wish to assemble something ourselves, can someone tell me what would be the right choice for the amount ? Plus are there any other sites like thinkmate which provide us information on different rack options ? Thanks

Budget: 3,000 USD SOOO... I do a lot of 3D work. If I wanted the perfect build I guess I would buy a bunch of 24 core Xeons and a server BUUUT as I am a simple mortal I guess GPU rendering is the way to go. The amount of money wasted away in render farms has reached a boiling point and I desperately need a PC that can crush Maya, Octane and above all Blender Cycles. I have been diggin arround and I am thinking of putting together the following build. -CPU: Intel 7700k -CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo -Motherboard: Asus Rog Maximus IX Code -Case: Form follows function. I couldn't care less about RGB and all that. So any recomendation would be wellcome. (Thinking of Cooler Master HAF-912) -Ram: HyperX Impact 32gb DDR4 2400mhz (16gb x 2) -Graphics C: Dual GTX 1080 Ti in SLI Please Note that this PC would be non stop rendering for several days. So all components need to be able to withstand all of that strain. Yes, I am the biggest noob when speaking of PC building. I don't even know hoy to put it together myself. Good thing Linus has a bunch of videos for that tho... Thank you for your help!!!!! -
My partners just become a fully qualified architect and up until now has been using my desktop to do all her rendering on, however I've just got a job working from home so will need to have access to my computer at all times. So I'm going to build a new system for her. What would you guys recommend as a workstation pc where no games are actually going to be played on it. Needs to be able to render fast and get the job done in the least amount of time possible. Cheers in advance all.

Ok, im able to get Nvidia 3d Vision 2 for 85 €, lightly used What can i do to make use of it? People say projectors are awesome. Where can you buy one? SHOULD i buy one? Two? Apparently old 3D Samsung TVs support checkboard rendering, meaning id have to buy one thats from 2012, 2013. And i could buy one for 410€ Id like to stay cheap, but if its worth it, im willing to shell out. I was blown away by how 3D is better than 2D in gaming and i dont like the resolution of either Rift, Vive or any other, its just unplayable + i cant play all games, or at all.

Hey everyone! I've been an LMG fan for a few weeks now and I may have probably binged at least 150 videos. This is my first post and I'm glad to be a part of the community! Anyways, I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm an editor in need of some render assistance. I have an AMD 6350 off-the-shelf system. I am trying to render a rather long and complex animation from Cinema4D. Unfortunately, after the extensive 422-hour process it took my computer to export the project the video file was corrupt. Instead of attempting to troubleshoot the issue, as I have rendered smaller shorter projects just fine, I'm looking for another solution. Another 422-hour render just isn't something I want to go through. I'm hoping someone may be able to render this file for me, with their more adept system, and send me the raw export. Files required would be shared via Google Drive. If you have any better suggestions, ideas, or somewhere else to post, let me know! Edit: I've looked into some render farms, but I just don't have the funds for that right now.

Hi everyone,I'm building a PC for my friend who needs a PC for 3D Rending and image editing. The software's that she uses are: Maya 3DS Max Zbrush Photoshop 4D MarvelousDesigner At the moment, I'm having some conflict choosing an AMD VS Intel CPU, as there's quite a lot of debate on which is more optimised for the above software. Many people recommend the AMD Ryzen 5 & 7 due to the amount of CPU cores helping handle the above, as most of her rendering is done using CPU rather than GPU, so I decided a high end GPU wasn't essential. I wanted to keep it under £1500 maximum, that's only the max I would go, not how much I'm looking to spend exactly. If I can save £500 because the components will only give a 10% performance increase, I'l happily cut the cost. My current build is: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor (£178.50 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: ASRock - AB350 Pro4 ATX AM4 Motherboard (£79.37 @ BT Shop) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (£163.20 @ Aria PC) Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive (£88.29 @ Ebuyer) Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£75.00 @ Aria PC) Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING Video Card (£239.99 @ Novatech) Case: Thermaltake - Versa H21 ATX Mid Tower Case (£33.99 @ Amazon UK) Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (£86.14 @ Amazon UK) Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit Monitor: BenQ - BL2711U 27.0" 3840x2160 60Hz Monitor (£467.12 @ PC World Business) Total: £1411.60 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-10-21 18:43 BST+0100 I need to buy a monitor to go with the build. I want to get a 4K monitor, so I've added one to the build which adds £400 although Amazon US it's only $400 which is like £330. So that's taken up a lot of the budget. I decided to upgrade the GPU to a 1060. I spoke with my friend and most of the software she uses she renders using CPU rather than GPU, so I don't need the 1070. Plus looking at the performance charts, the it's only a 15% increase for a 1060 to a 1070 but an extra £250. The CPU being the most important component possibly. 32GB of RAM was a little overkill, so I've reduced to 16GB and also lowered the PSU. I don't need the CPU cooler as the Ryzen CPU models are better for heat and come with a better stock cooler than intel. Plus if she ever needs more RAM for the software she uses like Zbrush, she can add an extra 16GB, so I think I should keep it at 16GB for the moment. Any other suggestions for improvement to this build or any components you think I could swap to save money if it won't have a significant impact on the build, I'd appreciate the suggestions. Thanks. -
Hey guys! New here I'm working in a creative agency as Senior Editor / head of post-ish. We currently have an Apple based workflow but my days and love for Apple hardware are completely lost. I want to switch back to Windows and plan to build a new workstation. I've seen some of LTT's workstation upgrade videos and what not but it's still quite unclear for me as of what to really go for that would be futureproof but stable. What would you recommend as of now? (Don't tempt me on upcoming hardware we need it pretty fast). Is X99 still the way to go? Still confused about Intels line-up with X299 etc. What do I do? 80% of my work consists of editing 5K RED footage in Premiere Pro. The rest is After Effects stuff and occasionally Davinci Resolve. We plan to do more 3D too with C4D and Octane Renderer so CUDA is a must. What do I need? A fast stable Windows computer in a solid case. Water or air cooled cpu. What do I think I want? CPU: Probably Intel CPU but anyone know how Ryzen is doing for this type of work? RAM: Minimum 32GB GPU: 1x GTX 1080 Ti (multiple in the future for 3D gpu rendering so need enough power) PSU: High watt high quality PSU MOBO: Motherboard preferably with 10GBe if that exists and thunderbolt if possible. Enough space for 2 GPU's and extra cards like 10GBe port if not onboard. STORAGE: 2x M2 or regular SSD. 1TB for OS. 1TB for Adobe cache etc. CASE: Whichever suits my needs and isn't fancy with rgb-led etc. Budget Unlimited. But keep it within my requirements ofcourse. I think that's about it. I'd love to hear if there's any peeps running a new workstation already, what their config is and how well it's doing. Cheers, Shebbe -
So to be clear I haven't looked into this only heard statements so far. So i'm trying a project and it is bound to a game i used to play which makes use of .dds files and .obj files. I want to show these files in a webpage, someone mentioned WebGL but haven't found so far if this is possible or not. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm currently learning the art of 3D modelling/animating, but my cpu (i5-4460) is way to slow for what I want to do (the rendering of a simple scene with 100 frames took about 1.5 hours). So my questions: - What cpu is best for this kind of jobs? - Do I need a fast core clock or a lot of cores/threads? and most importantly: why? I would love to hear about all the possibilities so I can make a good choice. -
Recently, I started learning 3D modeling (and animating) with Autodesk Maya. However, my PC consists of an Intel core i5 4460, MSI Z97s motherboard and 8GB ddr3 ram. So I am thinking of upgrading it, but it would be nice if you guys could give some tips on what hardware I should buy. I am looking for good performing hardware for interesting prices (not overkill, but I don't want to have to upgrade again in a year or so). I was thinking of upgrading to: - intel core i7 7700K (€349) - Asus Prime Z270-P (€127,90) - HyperX 32GB DDR4-2133 kit (€289) What I would like to know: - Are these good components? - what suggestions do you have? - intel or amd ryzen? - should I wait for possible new technologies? (if so, what interesting technologies or hardware is expected to show up?) - how much ram do you think I need? (8GB is clearly the biggest bottleneck in my current PC, but how much will suffice?) Thanks already!! PS: Should I be looking for a cpu with a high core clock, or rather one with a lot of cores and multithreading for Maya (mostly for the rendering process, but also the overall performance of course)?
