Hi guys, My motherboard is Asus Prime B450M-A II. Is Apacer AS2280P4 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen 3, gonna be compatiable with my Mobo? Apparently it has 3D TLC NAND Flash. I'm going to work multimedia stuff in PS-AI, PR-AE, Blender-Unreal Engine and obviously lot more. Am I going to be fine?

I currently have an I9 12900KS in my machine right now, which I use mainly use for gaming. But I'm planning to get into some Blender work/3d modeling and rendering, etc. I'm planning on upgrading my CPU, and I'm trying to see which CPU would be a good upgrade. I'm planning to go on AM5, and I'm looking at either 7950X for work, or maybe the 7950X3D for a gaming boost on some off time. I'm torn on which one to go for. Any advice?

Hi. I have 2 4070ti's in my system. Every monitoring software I use tells me only one of them is ever be used at once. How do I configure my system to best utilise the 2 cards? My job has me running Blender and Keyshot on a daily basis for around 10 hours a day. Any help would be appreciated.

Budget (including currency): 2500 USD Country: Poland Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AutoCad, Revit, Photoshop, Blender (sometimes sketchup + lumion (non ray tracing version)), also games Other details : I,m going to start my own architecture studio. I want the platform to be upgradable in the future. I'm not new to tech-related stuff, but this topic is making my head hurt and I need your opinion. Trying to minmax price and performance. I will probably use 2 monitors with this setup, that are not included in build. If you have a monitor that you can recommend please do. Also, going nvidia instead of radeon because of blender Proposed build: PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y97q34 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 4.7 GHz 12-Core Processor ($410.59 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: be quiet!

There are 2 things about this build that are bothering me, and its hard for me to find answears for them. Firstly, i want to be able to upgrade this pc in the future, so the question is what mobo should i choose. After doing some research, i basically found out that for my needs B650E chipset is enough, but i'm not confident if it will be a good choice for a future ryzen 9 9000 X(so in the build i chose more expensive option). Second thing is, if i get a subsidy for opening a new bussines i will be able to buy 7950x version, but i don't know if 4 cores justify 33% price increase. I'm moving from i7-7700k and i have to say that cpu is still doing well, but more complex models are starting to become troublesome. Thanks in advance.

I am running the newest version of pop_os! and blender 3.6.1 i have a AMD Radeon RX 7600 (which should be compatible with HIP in blender). When i go to preference to enable gpu render it says "no compatible gpu for cycles". How do i get my gpu to work with blender?

Budget (including currency): Max 8000 kr/sek ~ 750$ (but the lower the better and its not that kind of situation where i need to max out the budget) Country: Sweden Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: It needs to be able to run cities skylines 1 and the upcoming sequel, i also need it to be able to run blender at a decent speed (as long as its significantly better than my old gpu) Other details: current Pc specs: I5-8400 32GB RAM GTX 1060 3Gb vram (what i need to upgrade) 300W psu (probarly need to upgrade this to, include this in the budget)c 256Gb M.2 and 1Tb Hdd I have no preference for what gpu brand, i just want the best bang for the buck. Iv know that AMD gpus are slightly worse at blender unfortunately, if that wasn’t so i would if instantly bought one because of the good price to performance. I would prefer if my new gpu could run most games and specifically cities skylines 1/2 at 1440p 60+ Fps. My main reason for the upgrade is because of my low gpu memory. That is my current limiting factor in both blender and heavily modded cities skylines. I also dont need to get this upgrade NOW. iv stood out with it for the past few years, whats a few months more. Yes i said months, i would prefer if i could buy a card sooner rather than later but my max waiting time would probably be around Christmas (2023). But it would be optimal if i could get the new card before the end of October (this is when cities skylines 2 gets released). Also keep in mind i probably need a new PSU to supply the gpu, if that is needed you could please include it in the final recommendation and price.

Budget (including currency): $5,000 USD Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Blender, After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and some gaming for fun, not too concerned with top notch FPS when gaming. Mostly want to cut through render times, and make the Blender viewport lightning fast. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): My current configuration is looking like: CPU: Ryzen 9 7950x Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 Motherboard: ASUS ProArt X760E CREATOR WIFI ATX GPU: ASUS TUF RTX 4090 24GB RAM: Kingston Fury 128GB (4x32GB) DDR5 5600MT/s CL36 FURY Beast Black EXPO SSD: Crucial P5 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 x3 PSU: Corsair HX1200 Platinum 1200 W Case: Fractal Meshify 2 or Corsair 7000D Airflow My main concerns are around the instability of DDR5 running with AM5. I've heard people successfully running 128GB at around 3600, but the use of 2 DIMM slots at 64GB can yield up to the full 5600. For productivity tasks specifically, would programs like Blender/After Effects benefit most from the lower speed 128gb (mixed kits as well), or the full speed running 64gb? I'm okay to start with 64 and see if the BIOS updates catch up and DDR5 starts to play nice. Since the 7950x is always sprinting to the 95 C, I'm thinking the 420mm Arctic can help out keep those thermals under control. I'm also thinking the 1200w is generously on the safe side considering the power hungry CPU, GPU combo. Would also love some reference on the case, I'm attracted to the plentiful size of the 7000D, but mostly wanting the best airflow. Additionally, since this is my first ever build, feel free to throw out any general things I should be aware of / references or homework I should take a peek at. Thanks and of course all hail the LTT Screwdriver.

Hello, I build this PC a few months ago, but I notice that the CPU gets extremely hot when rendering in Blender, even though I'm rendering on the GPU. The funny thing is that the CPU load is relatively low (5%-40%). The graphics card performs flawlessly.This even happens when I render an incredibly simple scene like the default cube in Blender. The power consumption of the CPU is limited to 150W! I have had this problem from the beginning and also when I game. My specs: RTX 3070 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700KF 3.40 GHz 32,0 GB RAM Windows 11 Pro I have already searched a lot on the internet, so I hope someone can help me. If I have forgotten any information, I will of course send it to you! Thank you! During rendering:

(Repost) I am going off college beginning of august. I'm looking for windows laptops with at least a 30 series card, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. This laptop needs to have good battery life for when I am out and about using various CAD programs, capable of running video games at decent speeds (probably when plugged in), good cooling, and a relatively small size. I would preferably like to stay in the $1200-$1800 range with around $2000 being my absolute cap. I know that finding a laptop with all these requirements is a little tough and if sacrificing one of them is needed, then so be it. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi there. This may be a stupid topic but, im wondering if the A770 16gb can run blender and unreal engine 4/5 smoothly and without a hassle. Please only respond to this topic if your a user who has the intel A770 16gb and used/using it for blender unreal engine or any other creator software like Adobe for example. Thank you

Budget (including currency): $2000 Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Blender, Clip Studio, YouTube streaming, Phasmophobia, Grounded, Star Wars: The Old Republic Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Current PC Build: Windows 10 Home Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor 4.00 GHz RAM: 8GB Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Monitor: Onn. brand 1920 x 1080 60Hz Second monitor: GAOMON Pen Display 2200 1920 x 1080 60Hz I am wanting to upgrade my current PC set up for both gaming and creating digital artwork. I am wanting to create web comics, assets for video games, as well as become a YouTube streamer. I am also wanting to still be able to play games at their best graphics settings if not extremely close to them. For the gaming side I know I will need a better graphics card, processor, and monitor to name a few upgrades needed. For the artwork side of things, I am not sure what I want to look at for an upgrade. The GAOMON Pen Display was recently purchased and will not be getting replaced it is just the PC side that needs upgrading such as the main monitor and tower. When I turn up the DPI settings for my artwork it will lag out my computer very bad to the point it comes close to crashing. Thankfully it hasn't yet but I don't want for that to happen and risk losing what I currently am working on. The game assets I will be making will range from both 2D and 3D graphics both low-poly and high-res style assets. Another area I am unsure on is what is required to post and upload videos onto YouTube. The first videos I will be uploading are going to be web comics but I will be eventually doing streams as well using a avatar to represent myself. I am currently learning how to create and set one up through VROID.

Good evening stunners so it’s finally time for me to buy a new laptop but i am a bit overwhelmed with the options. So the budget is around 2500 chf/dollars (almost the same i believe). It should handle cinema 4d (main reason) and all the other Adobe content creation applications. It should at least have 32 gb ram and 1 tb ssd space. I was also thinking a 3070? Does that makes even sense? But the display is also very important to me that is colour accurate. Thank you so much in advance for your help Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz

I managed to pull a granny and accidentally make the xyz axis disappear on blender when I was doing a tutorial and I cant figure out what I did to do that nor how to undo it. Can I get some help?

Hey Guys, i recently upgraded my the GPU and PSU of my current machine : CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: 4090FE PSU: Corsair HX1200 MOBO: MSI mpg x570 RAM: 16GBx2 DDR4 Case: Antec p101 I want to upgrade the rest of my machine soon (1-2 months), usage is pretty much everything: 3D work and rendering with Daz3d and Blender, Gaming, Encoding(HVEC,AV1,WEBP), media, browsing, etc. Budget is hard to say, exactly, but it's very flexible. I don't want to go balls to the wall dream build, i need help finding a good spot that will not bottleneck the 4090. Here are my thoughts: CPU – I want to go AM5, and i think the 3D work will be most impacted here. I won't go 7600 but im not sure i need to get a 7900X. Id like something before the big diminishing returns. RAM – No idea, DDR5 2X32 probably? MOBO – Pretty clueless here, is the "cheapest" that support all of my components good enough? (don't need Wi-Fi) CASE – I've been thinking about the 5000D, and filling it with 120mm AIO - was thinking about a 240 or 360 exhaust on the top Haven't built in over 3 years, so sightly clueless.

Hi. I might buy a Dell Inspiron 3910 (I think?) with a 12400: https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/dell-desktops-workstations/inspiron-desktop/spd/inspiron-3910-desktop/di3910_s6015m2f?gacd=9683780-3004-5761040-266662033-0&dgc=st&gclid=CjwKCAiAyfybBhBKEiwAgtB7fhJl9qlLD18W7LfkvCujpRtp0kp6p3f6JuO4A6VeBBpE0hDMxCHldRoC_48QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&nclid=X-oODAwECjyjumWS-Ewwzl1Q0AFoDSDm8p20QLPdXeZ7ig2OptYEw9UsFUOqCiJw The 12400's base clock speed is slower than a 12100's. In fact, its *base* speed is also slower than my current 3770 cpu. But 2 benchmark sites says 12400 is better than 12100. And 12400 has more cores! So it shouldn't matter, right? Is the 12400 clearly better for 3d animation, video editing? (and I might game. Might not, tho). Or could a smaller psu or inadequate cooling make the 12400 worse? i.e. Would I have to spend more money on extra fans or something? Blender's Benchmarks: https://opendata.blender.org/benchmarks/query/?compute_type=CPU&group_by=device_name&blender_version=3.3.0 (Type in 12100 or 12400. Higher score is better). CPU Benchmark: 12100: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-12100&id=4687 12400: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-12400&id=4677 My old 3770 cpu: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-3770+%40+3.40GHz&id=896 Also, any idea how its build quality would compare to a pc built for $750 Cad (free shipping)? Let me know, thanks!

I have been looking into getting into Motion Capture ever since I started getting into Game Design and Development back in 2018. It seems like the most prominent search results are for subscription based software and some of those require costly equipment. There is support for Blender with these programs, but is it possible to do Motion Capture with only Blender and a DIY suit? If so, what links can you point me towards, suggestions on where I should start, or if you think this is not achievable to begin with please state why.

Budget (including currency): not final and set but somewhure under and arround 6k (eu) willing to go under or over if it makes sence for the build. Country: netherlands. Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: blender, maybe some adobe after effects, other than that light stuff. Other details (it will get a m.2 2tb ssd and other than that run from a nas. and it will highly probably be a pre-build by steigerdynamics.): so the big question is. i could opt in for 2x a 4090, but since nvlink is dead i honoustly don't know if it would even make sense. i could also do 2x 3090, but that feels wrong (the more vram is nice tho because nvlink). another option would be getting an a6000 but this option is starting to reach out my budget way to far. other parts: ddr5 128gb i9 13900k motherboard z690/z790 (also could use some advise here if there is something i could be missing here.)

Budget (including currency): $800 Country: America Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Blender, Unity, Minecraft (with mods), Roblox Other details: My current parts are: Intel Core i5 11400F, EVGA Geforce GTX 1650 Super SC Ultra Gaming 4GB, ASUS Prime Z590-P WiFi LGA 1200 (Intel 11th/10th Gen) ATX Motherboard, Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L RGB V2, TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz, Crucial P2 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD, NZXT H510, and the Thermaltake Smart BM2 650W 80+ Bronze. I am slightly over budget and would like suggestions to make it fit in my budget. I am buying all the parts from amazon. I haven't bought the parts yet, just trying to make in fit in my budget and as best as it can be. Thanks!

Budget (including currency): $10.000 Country: Slovenia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Unreal Engine 5, Visual Studio, Blender, etc. Other details: Hello there! I'm a modeler that decided to gather up a team of friends to create out own game, as it is our dream to do so. Some of us have experience with a specific thing but none of us has worked with Unreal Engine before, although we are using it to make the game. I am the person that mainly works on UE5 and I also lead the team. While I do have quite a good PC for games and whatnot, I'd like to get myself an actual workstation to be able to work on it faster, more easily, etc. I already know every component and everything else I need to build the workstation (put it all together to estimate the price here https://pangoly.com/en/build/share/2022/10/12/custom/07ff8a03-5305-4ed8-80e7-509a006473fa), after which I realized, that's a lot of money. To be honest, I'd like to buy it even though I have no money for it, and anything lesser then that will simply not be good enough for me (Don't ask me why, that's simply the best workstation possible and since any workstation for UE5 will cost a few grand, why not go top tier). PS. my current setup: Asus Prime H510 m-e motherboard Intel core i5-11400F (6 cores. 12 threads, 2.60 GHz base speed, 4.2 GHz max), in process of buying it a cooler (Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer II 240) 64GB of RAM (2x32GB sticks, 3200 MHZ) Nvidia RTX 3060 Pegasus, 12GB VRam 3TB of storage It is really good for games and all, but not as much for development. The processor is too weak, slowing my progress down by, a lot. I will probably not ever get the money, so image this as a hypothetical question. Do you think I am planning to get a too good of a PC, or rather, is this overkill? The project I am working on would be as big as games like The Witcher 3, Skyrim V, RDR2, etc. (If you have so much money you don't know where to spend it, tell me, I need it for this build, cause I don't have it lmao)

Hello all, my current video post-production workstation has AMD 3900x, MSI MEG MB, 64GB ram, RTX3090 + RTX2080Ti (Windows 11 latest) and I am wondering if it is possible to use multiple gpu demanding software effectively. To be more specific ... I use Davinci Resolve for video editing, Photoshop for graphics, Blender for 3d animation and rendering, After Effects (for you know, effects), Media Encoder and I hate that i have to turn on and off all these programs to be able to fully use any of them. I mean .. when I use Davinci Resolve, it takes full usage of GPU (for cache previews, prerenders) and I am no longer able to jump into Blender and fully use the Optix and Denoise tools for previews and rendering, because Davinci doesnt let the GPU go. My basic sollution for this is just to quit Davinci Resolve and start it up again when I am done with other stuff. But these programs are pain to launch. Davinci takes maybe a minute to launch and when you do this 20-30times a day then it can be bad for efficiency reasons. Same story with Photoshop and After Effects. So my question is: Is it possible for Windows to maybe prioritize GPU for certain programs? Or is there any workaround? (Like there is an option for priorities in task manager - anything like this for gpus?) Thanks for any answers! JS

Budget (including currency): ZAR 18000 Country: South Africa Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Steam (KSP, FSX, War Thunder, and similar), MS 365, 3D modeling and rendering for FDM printing (Blender, Fusion 360) Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Replacing a Core 2 Quad with 4GB on an ASUS P5Q mobo with a Samsung EVO 850 SSD (so very old, and dying). I have a 27" Samsung SA550. Keyboards and mice not too important, I'm not a serious gamer. Looking at getting the following at a total cost of around ZAR 15000: ASUS B660M-A Prime DDR4 Intel Core I5-12600K CPU Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3200 Kit (2x8GB) - CL16, 1.35V, White Corsair CX-M 650W Modular PSU DeepCool Macube 110 Micro-ATX Chassis Corsair CX-M 650W Modular PSU In Win Saturn ASN140 ARGB Fan x2 DeepCool GammaXX 400S CPU Cooler Seagate FireCuda 530 500GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD Could you advise on a Graphic Card - RTX or GTX or RX?

Budget (including currency): 750~1000€ Country: Bulgaria Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly Blender (3d modelling + rendering), Spine Pro, Quixel Mixer (maybe), Clip Studio Paint, To a lesser extent Da Vinci Resolve, Light Gaming (I mostly play Indie) and maybe very later down the line some music/audio related projects. Right, so my PC went kaput recently - started BSOD-ing constantly, the mobo fried (clean your PC regularly kids) and now, when i turn it on, the screen is pitch-black and the PC doesn't turn off unless i manually shut the PSU down. So, i guess I'm in the market for a new Build. I do however also have a lot of questions. The main bottleneck I'm worrying about is my own skill level, as I'm still an amateur, to put it kindly. I also have some health issues, though temporary (I hope), that currently limit how much work I can do on a pc (nothing severe, but still a detriment). As such, I'm reluctant to spend too much money on something I probably wont be able to utilise fully, at least until both my skills and health improve; however I also don't really want to screw myself with something particularly bad either. I've boiled my options down to 2 potentially flexible variants: V1. The Low Budget Variant: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bF4jv3 ~720€ V2. The Higher Budget One: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Nkgh2m ~1040€ I already have the PSU, the Monitor, some HDDs, an old ~128gb SSD with Windows installed and the Case to cannibalise from my previous build, also I don't know if it affects much but I also have an XP-Pen Display Tablet (so a second monitor essentially). I have been planning on switching to Linux as well due to general frustration with Windows and maybe keeping the old SSD for a dual-boot in case I need something specific. As a slight add I generally use this site: https://www.pazaruvaj.com/harduer-c3068/ to compare prices from local retailers; It doesn't have all of them and some are a bit shady, but it's otherwise been a good help. As it stands I'll probably order most, or at least a good chunk, of my parts from the retailer Plasico, so i don't have to worry about shipping from too many places and it's a fairly well liked store (if this info even matters). Just a heads up the prices are in lv./лв. so just slash whatever you see in half and you'll get the actual € value. A Thousand and One Questions: Q1: For V2 is it possible to go for 16gb RAM? Q2: For V2 is it also possible to go for a B450? Q3: Would a R5 3600 work with a 3060, or would it bottleneck and affect render times too much? Q4: Should I upgrade later, since apparently new parts would be coming out by the end of year and things might reduce in price? Q5: Or now, to avoid soaring prices if inflation and supply chain stuff is at too high a risk? Q6: Or am i overthinking it? Q7: How useful would an NVME be, or is it more of a luxury buy? Q8: Is it preferred to install the OS on a separate partition and/or drive or is it unnecessary? Q9: Is resell-ability something I should keep in mind when buying a system or does tech advance too fast for it to matter? Q10: Should I worry about BIOS version compatibility or is upgrading it easy enough? That's about it for now, I think. I hope this isn't too hard of a read, I don't really post on forums much. Thank you in advance for any help. Have a good one.

Budget (including currency): $1000 US Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: programs: OBS, DaVinci, Blender. Games: Skyrim, Minecraft, ROMs, Final Fantasy, Gmod, many others that are not notable like golf with friends. (Over all I plan to expand my library of games as soon as I get this pc done. ) Other details: I would like to at least play 1080p, 4K being amazing. I mostly want to use this as a budget $1000 pc but of course I know to expect to pay more then that especially when I want lots of storage, a decent cpu and gpu, and other parts that are good so they last a long Time. These pc parts are what I’m hoping can get me a pc that’s over all good with gaming/streaming at the same time and then using blender to make 3d models and animations while possibly also recording the process of doing so. I know this pc won’t be perfect but if I can have blender open and not crash as soon as I open it and my normal games I play not be stuck at a permanent 5-20 fps that would be amazing. So please if you have anything you think I should change please tell me. I’m all ears.

What I use right now is a laptop from about 2013-2014 (around) that was made to be a office laptop mostly. I’ve always just dealt with how horrible it was with gaming. The only other pc I have available to me is a pc from 2007, it’s from when I was younger and played disc games, the pc doesn’t work anymore due to most of the parts being dead and not worth trying to take any parts from. Again if you have anything to change please do tell me!

Budget: 2000 usd(might be willing to go 2500) Country: United States of america Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: main concern is blender, however I will be playing a few graphics costly games, eg halo inf, mechwarrior5, and ark. Other details: this is a ground up build, however I will need a keyboard and headset as the only nessicairy peripherals. It will be replacing my msi titan gt80vr laptop, I have a monitor but I don't know it's specs and I do plan on replacing it sometime In the future.
