Beastly computer

[Conman655]

This individual asked me what the best computer he could get was. Unlimited budget, but rather not go above 20000$ US

He would use it for 3d modeling, vr, and extensive research (as well as neural network stuff)

He wants good headphones mouse and keyboard (decent) and 3 4k monitors

he also wants a m.2 for os (needs windows 10) and 4 terabytes of hdd space plus 1 terabyte of ssd space

no custom liquid cooling (because he does not feel comfortable with it)

if you have any questions, ask

20,000 holy heck OWO

 

few quesions 

 

what type of 3d modeling would he benefit from having more cores(xeon/threadripper) and a quadro?

cause it might be better for him to  build 2 computers one for gaming and one for work

 

 

[Kalm_Traveler]

I mean... I don't want or have 3 4k screens but my HEDT rig meets or exceeds everything else on his list and even with the Titan RTX cards doesn't hit 20k. 

For headphones I'm using Oppo PM-1 with an Oppo HA-1 dac/amp. 

[Conman655]

that's the thing- he hates gaming

the vr would be used for work not gaming

he did not specify what 3d modeling

okay

 

uh can you tell me what programs he uses so i can see if they would benefit from higher core count

 

also @me when you respond

 

[Conman655]

@Happycowdance He did not specify, but I would expect stuff like blender and cad (maybe some sketchup too)

Sketchup gross. I wasn't aware people still used that awful software.  

[Conman655]

@Brooksie359yeah. he was very vague when explaining this to me so i have to guess on the specific applications

Confused... Why? 

 

If you just want to spend money get two Quadro GV100 cards and NVLink bridge set, there goes $18,600 + tax already.

uh will he be using raytracing or anything like that?

what does he do exactly?

[Conman655]

@Happycowdance He will be using ray tracing, but not to the extreme

He dose not have a specific job yet, and wants the best PC he can get in his budget (he wants to make detailed 3d graphics of tombs or something)

[brob]

A second gpu can be added should the budget increase.

@Conman655

will outpreform brobs build in every way

2x rtx 6000 can run in nvlink

128gs of ram

good headset and dac unless hes an audio junkie he wont need anythin better than this ever

nvme to  boot off of

loots of fans for coolin

good mouse and keyboard

no rgb

 

threadripper with more cores and higher clock speed

 

@brob 1500 dollar headphones   with no dac wtf

Dont need that much ssd storage 1tb is more than enough for current projects and old ones can be saved to the 8tb of hdd which he can run in raid

 

 

[Conman655]

cool

[Conman655]

thx for the help guys

 I know the headphones are a bit much. Probably a goo set of wireless ones would be better. But as far as I'm concerned the only one who should pick headphones is the one that will be using them.

 

Definitely need all ssd storage. 

[Conman655]

srry guys need to go to bed its getting way late thx

for what?

 

as fast as ssd's are projects most likely will not go over 1tb so there is no point use ssds for current projects and hdds for old ones

he can save past projects to the 2 4tb hdds(running in raid) and get them later if he ever needs them

Assuming usage patterns is not something I like to do. Given the budget there is no reason to go with less reliable and slower mechanical drives.

well if he wants to remove them he can probs fit at least 4 tbs of ssd storage due to the fact that hes removing 160 from the hdds and has 300 left in the budget

I am unsure what you are trying to say but quadros are a better option than a titan at this budget. It looks like they want to do professional oriented work so having an enterprise gpu and driver support very worth it. Also you are acting like the gv100 is the only enterprise gpu on the market.

I'm not understanding why your quoted response of 'that's why you Quadro' was given. 

 

My post that you replied to was stating that my personal HEDT rig can already meet all the requirements listed, save for the 4k screens, and costs less than the provided budget by a fair amount. 

 

Thus, I'm confused by 'that's why you Quadro' as a response.

You go quadro because the budget is larger......
