Hi we recently have had an issue with 3ds max 2020 after upgrading to V-Ray 6.1, typically we work in 2 instances of the program so while one is loading a file we can work in the other. However after the V-Ray upgrade the issue is that while the file is loading it freezes and locks up everything in windows until its finished loading. What I've found is that if I manually change the process affinity to force the 2 instances of 3ds max to use separate cores the issue isn't present. I have already contact V-ray and 3dsmax support but they are horribly slow so I would like to get some suggestions from the community.

Budget (including currency): 6000 ( EUR ) Country: Romania Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 3Ds Max ( V-Ray ) 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 company tasked me with building a workstation for 3D modelling and rendering of assets using the integrated V-Ray renderer inside 3Ds Max. This build will have 2 GPUs since the current build that runs only one GPU it's not fast enough for our needs. Even though I know that nVidia RTX 4000 series is coming soon, unfortunately I can't wait for it since the company needs this workstation now so that deadlines can be met. This workstation will use the GPUs for rendering henceforth CPU rendering performance is not critical, the main concern when it comes to choosing a CPU is enabling the best connectivity and maximum speed and bandwith. Since this is going to be very expensive I need it to be as futureproof as possible which means that I aim to have a DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 compatible build. For this I was hoping that I could get away with an intel i9-12900K since workstation CPUs are exponentially more expensive than regular consummer processors. Here are some of my questions: 1) Does CPU come into play when it comes to V-Ray GPU rendering ? 2) Is 3Ds Max or V-Ray able to properly take advantage of PCIe 5.0 or PCIe 4.0 for that matter ? Does it improve render speed when using multiple GPUs ? Or is it that PCIe 3.0 is fast enough for V-Ray as it is and newer PCIe standards only improve in the disk read-write speeds? 3) Considering that the i9 12900KS has only 20 PCIe lanes that can work at best in a 1x16+4 or 2x8+4 PCIe 5.0 configuration, would it be better to use a i9 10980XE with 48 PCIe lanes that supports 2x16 but on PCIE 3.0 or a Ryzen 5950x that has 20 PCIe lanes (1x16+4 or 2x8+4 PCIe) on PCIe 4.0 ? Apart from 2x16 PCIe 5.0 which is only available on Threadripper , Epyc or Xeon which configuration would provide maximum performance for GPU rendering in V-Ray ? I know this would be more suitable for the official Chaos V-Ray forum however a product license is required in order to be able to post there and right now I do not have acces to one.

gpu can somehow you can add vrams by having two same GPU?
asianboyjr1 posted a topic in Graphics Cards
i only have 4gb and i want to buy another gpu to increase my pc and vrams -
Hello guys!, I thank you in advance for the help. In my office we are looking to buy new computers for 4 architects that use and will use the following softwares: Autodesk Revit 2017 Autdesk Autocad 2017 Autodesk Naviswork 2017 Autodesk 3DsMax 2017 Autodesk 3D Civil Adobe Photoshop CS6 Adobe Illustrator CS6 Adobe Indesign CS6 Lumion 7 Artlantis 6 SIG For this functions, we use to works several 3D models of more than 40.000 m2 that could be easily 4-10 gb of 1 single file and more than 25 files linked to it. I have this draft of what we should buy in order to work in a nice workflow(since we work with a server) GPU:Intel XEON (16 cores - 32 threats - 45 MB Caché)Video Card:Nvidia Quadro M6000Ram:64 GB de RAM Storage:SSD 512 GBDisplays:2 ASUS Display of 21' So, here is the questions about what I need. Should we use Intel XEON or a good i7 with overclock over 4.0? Should we use a Nvidia Quadro(since Quadro are officials for Revit) or should I go for unofficial Titan? Thanks in Advance.

I bought my PC on early March 2016 Here's my spec: i7-6700k @4.0GHz (sometimes I overclock to 4.2 using intel XTU) Cooler Master Hyper 212X Trubo Win 10 64bit PSU Super Flower Leadex Silver SF-650F14MT 2x8GB Avexir Core Red 2400MHz (15-15-15-36) Gigabyte Z170M-D3H-CF (U3E1) Zotac GTX 950 232GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB (SSD) 1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-1CH164 (SATA) Optical Drives HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NSD1 LG 25UM58-P Ultrawide monitor (2560x1080@60Hz) When using vray (adv not vray rt) in 3ds max 2016 to render 2560x1440 image (still in prepass 3) in about 20 minutes th PC just restart itself with no sign of warning or anyhing I tried using 1920x1080 pixels or 3840x2160 pixels still the same, the CPU temp when rendering is about 60 Celcius Power option in custom High Performance with ;Turn Off HD=Never; Power Saving Mode=Maximum Performance; Sleep=Never; USB slective suspend setting=disabled; Processor powe management, minimum state 100%, system cooling=active, maximum state 100%; In Event Viewer (picture included) found some error that said my PC restart itself. Any help or suggestion for this matter, because this is really annoying I can't get my rendering done Run memory diagnostic tools -> no problems found Run SFC -> no problems found *UPDATE* And now after the latest windows 10 update it is showing BSOD before it restart itself that said "Page Fault In Nonpaged Area" *UPDATE 2* I remove the GPU and it's worked. Now what have I to do? Because the place where I bought it is a bit far and a bit costly to bring the PC there unless I bring only the parts I need with my bike and yes I do live in Asia. Is this a PSU fault? Or this a GPU fault? Or just a bug in vray 3.40 in 3ds max 2016? *UPDATE 3* I'll be damned. After going through registry, device manager, drivers, cmd, and many tutorials on the web but to no avail None of thiese conclusions are correct. Is this a PSU fault? Or this a GPU fault? Or just a bug in vray 3.40 in 3ds max 2016? The very hard truth is the f**king 3ds max 2016 is the problem not the vray or other hardware related. Maybe it one of its many bugs. Because after I downloaded and installed the Service Pack 3 or the update (Here) the problem is gone, the PC won't restart itself when rendering, it even speeds up the render time almost 6 times faster than before. F**k me. Why am I so blind. Now, I don't remember much what things I have changed in the system after this nonsense appeared few days ago. I guess I just leave it as it is for now. Thank you very much sam Damn, I wanna scream to 3dsmax face out loud.

Rather than the expensive process to render 4k content with 3dsmax vray and aftereffects. Ue4 and Datasmith import can render 4k media in almost realtime, Why not I ask? AdvancedCompositing.mp4

A friend of mine is having some issues with his work-PC (laptop). He's using programs such as Solidworks, Vray, Sketchup and Unreal engine. While using these his PC is slow and crashes a lot. It has a i7-6700hq CPU, 16GB Ram, GTX 970 (or better cant remember correctly). What I'm asking is this: What would be the best hardware to put together for a PC to run all these applications smoothly? What should be a priority hardware wise? Recomendations for a "budget build" and a "ultimate build" is apprecitated. -
Just want to know the best suitable combo for 3D modelling & rendering. And the budget is around $2700. Can someone recommend me CPu and GPu for a PC? Thanks ., link is appreciated!! -
Which card is better for rendering in VRay, Vue and UE4 Radeon RX 570 8GB or GTX 1060 6GB?

Hello every one! First of all, thanks for your time. I need a budget PC for my University projects. I'm studying architecture I'm looking for a: psu + case + ram and mobo I got an: i3 8100 240gb ssd Sapphire rx580 nitro+ 4gb (got it in 4300mxn =210dlls in Amazon ) I'm in Mexico btw This are my questions: ¿How many watts do I need for this build? ¿Wich certificate should I look for in a Psu? Note I'm not looking forward to overclock or SLI 260dlls= 5500mxn it's all I have left ? Thank for your help!! I really appreciate it!

Good morning from Montevideo, Uruguay. As I wrote this I am more in a search for knowledge than anything. This is an updated version of an i7 I had before, some of the parts like the power suply, the 2TB HDD and the case are from that era, (circa 2015). The AMD update was 2 years ago, when I bought the CPU for like 160 USD, so it was a great update for that moment, specially for rendering times. It's a bittersweet story because I build this PC without proper knowledge, and this pc is not now a only V-ray rendering machine, it's an all pourpose PC, as it should be. So, the problem or maybe my wish is to "make an investment" to upgrade what I can now, or at least know what is the best path for an update for this PC, because now I am going to use to render as a job and not as a hobby, as editing, and architectural modeling in general. I want to improve this build to a more balanced, or maybe a best experience for 3D modeling, rendering and editing. I feel like an upgrade for the graphics card could be a suitable choice, but as far as I know, Quadro's are expensive. To make a closure, this PC is the one that does everything in my life, from writing this, to render in vray for hours. To make things more complicated, here in Uruguay we have a "special" deal with all imports, all incoming hardware have by law a 60% tax, OR we have x3 200USD tax free without shipment anually per person. So... If I decide to buy a, let's say a graphics card, I have to pay the 60% tax that the store had to pay when importing. Example: A Nvidia 1660 super 6GB ddr6 its 365 USD brand new. And the used market it is also expensive and very limited. I hope my english isn't as bad as I imagine, and I will accept any kind of coments for a reliable update. Thanks for all. Budget (including currency): 2x 200USD upper limit, without shipment Country: Uruguay Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Autocad, 3DS Max, Vray, Illustrator, photoshop. The actual PC: - AMD 1700 stock, with stock cooler. - Nvidia 1050 Ti 4GB ddr5 - 2x Team Elite 8Gb DDR4 2666Mhz - MSI B450M PRO-VDH (MS-7A38) - WD Blue 500GB SSD SATA III M.2 2280 (Main) - WD Green 2TB HDD - WD Pipeline 1TB HDD - Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W (RS-500-PCAR) - Dell 4K Monitor. - Antec One Case - Win 10

Hi everyone I'm new in the forum, so first of all I hope I'm posting on the right place My current PC is about 10 year, with and OC i7 2600K + 24GB DDR4 + GTX970 I works perfectly the most of the time, but when I go for some hard rendering, is not enough. So I'm looking for a new custom PC, I'll build it by myself, and I'm thinking about the components. The idea is built it at the end of the year The budget is from 2000€ to a maximum of 4000€. And the use will be 100% architecture, AutoCAD, all the Adobe suite, and rhino+vray. Since the most demanding use is vray, I want to focus on the best option for vray I'm a bit lost trying to find the balance between CPU-GPU and price/performance I was thinking on this 3 options https://i.imgur.com/4QXq39u.png I don't know if it makes any sense to get a high end CPU and a high end GPU since I'm going to use only one for rendering, the question is, where worths it more to spend the money? CPU or GPU? Would it be a good idea to go even for a 3990x and a basic GPU? Or maybe a 3900x and a 2080Ti/Quadro? Any recomendations?

Hello people! I am working on a system for a client which should be heavily optimized for SketchUp and VRay. The initial budget was 2000€ but the client knocked it down to 1500€ later. I already had a proposed first version done which was a true workstation build found here. The machine is intended to be only used for work. Nevertheless, first thing I did was downgrade from ECC memory and to a budget chipset. The current version of the build can be found here. I would love recommendations on whether to downgrade RAM, CPU or GPU for this specific application. Or heavier rebalancing if needed. Kind regards! Budget (including currency): 1500€ Country: Austria Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: SketchUp, Vray Other details: First version Initially downgraded version Two monitors shall be used with this build. Recommendations for cheap monitors for CAD work are welcome! Wifi onboard would be a plus. Buying as soon as possible. So in-stock parts would be best.

Hi everyone! i´m new in this community, so many thanks for letting me be part of it I´m currently looking a new laptop for architecture with a budget of 1100€, European market (probably Germany or Spain). We will use it for architecture software: mostly 2D plans (Autocad and Vectorworks), sometimes medium-detailed projects in 3D heavy software+Renderings (3ds Max, Vray, Revit, Rhino) and medium-big (1GB) Adobe files (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign). Of course Microsoft Office, movies, social media, etc. The "ideal" laptop should have a decent 15,6" IPS Matte good-color screen (80-90% sRGB), i7-8750H CPU (if possible, if not maybe i5-8300h), 8-16GB Ram, SSD+HDD and a decent-good Nvidia GPU (not for gaming, but CAD/3D-software/PSD; will avoid Quadros because of the price/performance) Decent portability, so if its under 2.2kg would be top (up to 2.5kg) and decent cooling system / not too hot temperatures at least under medium load like working with Autocad or Photoshop; renderings could be an exception. Battery 3hours for watching a long movie would be enough. Also, no dragons / excessive gaming designs, as we will take it to the office sometimes. After a loooong research, I discovered that most budget gaming laptops have a mediocre display (TN or IPS with 40-50% sRGB), and most proffesional ones are too expensive (+1500€). For example i really like the form factor of the new Lenovo Legion Y530, but the display is mediocre and the 144Hz is still not available... My actual list is the following: - Optimus IX Clevo N850EK1 (2.5kg) with I7-8750H, 16GB Ram, 1TB+256GB SSD, GTX1050Ti 4GB and IPS144Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen matte (no SO) for 1120€ https://www.pcspecialist.es/ver-formulario/optimusIX-15/Optimus-IX-Ti/ - Recoil II TongFang GK5CN6Z (2.2kg) with I7-8750H, 16GB Ram, 1TB+256GB SSD, GTX1050Ti 4GB and IPS60Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen matte (no SO) for 1140€ https://www.pcspecialist.es/notebooks/recoil-II-15/ - Gigabyte Sager 15-G8 Clevo? (2.5kg) with I7-8750H, 16GB Ram, 1TB+256GB SSD, GTX1050 4GB and IPS 60Hz 72% NTSC matte (Windows 10) for 1270€ https://www.izarmicro.net/ordenadores/portatiles-gaming/156-pulgadas/art-12099-gigabyte-sabre-15-g8 - HP Pavilion Gaming -cx0005ng (2.2kg) with I7-8750H, 16GB Ram, 1TB+128GB SSD, GTX1060 3GB and IPS 144Hz 72% NTSC matte (Windows 10) for 1300€ https://www.cyberport.de/?DEEP=1C24-62H&APID=117&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItcfE-am63AIVzLTtCh2itg9FEAQYASABEgJW6vD_BwE What do you think about these models? any better choice? what about the temps of the Optimus IX and Gigabyte Sager 15-G8 (I think they are both the same Clevo N850EK1)? I´ve read that the 850s tend to be hot...but its really difficult to find a good review of this specific one... Many thanks for your kind help!! Victor

Hello, I need some help with a suitable graphic card for my pc. I have an Intel i7 8700 paired currently with an ASUS 710 2gb card. I am not happy with the rendering speed for my 3D interior design for homes. This is my sole purpose for using the pc. 3D modelling and rendering.

My girlfriend is in architecture school at RPI and is finding that her school provided XPX laptop (i7 - 1050) isn't really as efficient as she would like for rendering. I am also in need of a new workstation. We are thinking we could build a new one with the power shes going to need and we can split the cost. I've put together a hardware list that I think will be adequate for what she needs. Software she is running is VRay, Rhino, Auto-CAD, Adobe CC products and Photoshop. The GTX 980ti I have selected is in my current PC and we would just swap it over to the new system. Will the 980ti be good enough for now or should we not even consider it? What monitor setup should we go with? Dual 4K 27"s or a 4K ultra-wide? Can you make any suggestions for what we should get for CPU (especially if you are in the architecture business or have experience in 3D modeling and rendering)? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheHel1x/saved/F2GYrH

Hello Guys, I'm new on this forum, so please if I made an appropriate comment or statement, please correct me. I’m Going to build my new PC for 3D Modelling and 3D rendering for 3DsMAX and V-ray, but there are a lot of question I need to ask because I’m worried if I build this PC is not going to work properly. This is my Specification: Motherboard: still confused whether I should build for more RAM or for 4-way SLI. ASUS Z10PE-D16 WS or ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 22-Cores GPU: (It will be increase in the future depend on the motherboard) 2x ASUS ROG-Strix GTX 1080 Ti – 11Gb Memory: (It can be increase in the future if the Motherboard is ASUS Z10PE-D16 WS) Corsair Dominator Platinum Series 128 (8x16Gb) DDR4 2666MHz SSD: (for OS) Samsung 960 Pro 512 GB M.2(PCIe) SSD SSD: (for Primary Active Data) Samsung 850 Pro 1 TB HDD: (for Storage) Seagate Barracuda Pro 4Tb PSU: (Please suggest me the best PSU for this PC) MasterWatt Maker 1500 Digital PSU Computer Case: Cooler Master Cosmos C700P Full Tower Water-cooling: Thermaltake Floe Riing RGB 360 TT Premium Edition My question is: 1. Should I focus on 4-way SLI from ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS or more RAM slot from ASUS Z10PE-D16 WS? 2. Can I do 4-way SLI on ASUS ROG-Strix GTX 1080 Ti – 11Gb for future upgrade (As I review this product is very thick GPU)? Or should I buy the Original GTX 1080 Ti from NVIDIA? 3. Is ASUS Z10PE can handle Xeon E5-2699 V4? I have take a look at the driver available in this motherboard and there is Xeon E5-2699 V4. However, in the overview, it specifically states that this motherboard is for E5-2600 V3 family. Should I change to E5-2699 V3 instead or it is alright? If there is any problem with this PC setup, please let me know… J Thank you so much and look forward to hearing from you guys… -
We are thinking of phasing out 5 of our HP Z400 and 1 Z600 and replacing them with a couple of new builds. Can anyone suggest a configuration that will match the rendering power of those without breaking the bank? I was thinking of going with the new i9's for the price to performance against the Xeon's. We mainly use Vray and 3ds max. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm planning a build for a 3D rendering pc (mainly in 3ds Max with Vray) for a friend. I was thinking to go with either an Intel i7 6700K or an i7 6800K for the CPU and an nVidia GTX 1060 for the GPU to stay around the 1000€ price point. As I don't do any 3D rendering myself, I wanted to know if this is a good choice and if someone has some suggestions to make. Thank you in advance

Hey there, So I'm interested in building a new system, as my current laptop is reaching it's end-life. I'm working in the architectural field, so that means long hours of cad design, 3d modelling, rendering, post-production. The software that I'll be using, if it matters in some aspects, are: Autocad Revit Rhino(ceros) + Grasshopper 3DS Max + Vray Adobe CC ( PS, AI, ID) As mentioned above, everything takes a lot of time (at the moment at least) and I'm used to leaving the pc running overnight very often. I'm currently using a DELL XPS L502X (2011). Obviously anything new is going to perform better than this, but I'm also looking for a stable build that can withstand the longer working time. After doing a bit of research on my own, I have a few of the components in mind: i7 5820K Asus X99 mobo, not yet settled on one 32GB DDR4 Corsair 750D case In regards to the GPU, I've searched far and wide and can't really determine which would fair better in rendering. I know that for GPU-based renderers, which I assume Vray RT is one, the more CUDA cores, the better. The Quadros are really out of the question as they are really too expensive and I can't yet justify buying a workstation card, so I was looking into the Titan Black vs 780 Ti vs 980 vs 970. Apart from the actual memory, the 780 and the Titan seem almost identical. The 970 is the cheapest and most "lower-end" between them...so..I'm open to any ideas and suggestions. And if you guys could help with the rest of the build, going on fast, silent performance. Thank you
