Building PC

[Jirayr]

Hello everyone. 

I want to build a pc (2000-2500$). Mostly for 3D rendering. Sometimes I'm playing games (Rainbow, Sekiro). So after this <Computex 2019> do I need to wait for Ryzen 3000 or better to buy now ?

wait ryzen 3 please will be better

Ok but can I use 2080ti with ryzen 3000 or there is gonna be some bottleneck?

2080ti with ryzen 3 is fine

Ok! Thank you very much!

Wouldn’t you want a Quadro card tho? If you main aim (>80%) is 3d rendering.

Which rendering program/engine do you use?

 

A Quado is likely not a wise use of your money. Many rendering engines only utilize the CPU, and those that are GPU-based run just fine on the consumer cards (speaking from experience here).

 

2080ti should be great - Autodesk has committed to support real-time ray tracing via Nvidia RTX cards, so if you use their programs, you might have some at the least.

Mostly Maya but actually I need both CPU and GPU to be perfect. But If it's not a big difference between Ryzen 2000 and 3000 I'll go for cheaper one. And do I need to take in consider taking AMD videocard instead of 2080ti ?

I would like to but they are too expensive

Get a 3rd-Gen Ryzen 7 and a 2080 Ti. That'll be a good combo. Tight in a $2500 budget but probably doable if you're willing to sacrifice aesthetics and storage space.

A 2700x + 2080Ti would even do here. We don’t know benchmarks yet

 

but considering what he wants to do, might be advisable to find a quadro card second hand

Absolutely, you need both a CPU and GPU. I prefer Nvidia cards, simply because Autodesk programs are optimized for Nvidia hardware. AMD cards will run just fine, but with the AMD "dry spell", Autodesk made most of their improvements to the graphics side of things with Nvidia cards in mind, so they typically pull ahead just a bit. But in the end, whatever brand makes you happy will perform adequately so long as you get a powerful card.

 

Unless you are using a third-party rendering engine, (such as VRay) you will likely be using Arnold, which is 100% CPU-bound while rendering, so you won't need more than one card.

 

What I'm getting at is, 2700X + 2080ti should be fine.

 

And I'd like to reiterate, a "professional" GPU will add literally nothing to your workflow. I've used machines with Quadro and Geforce cards extensively for 3d CAD and rendering, and there is not a bit of difference between them. I'm not saying that Quadro or FirePro cards don't have a place, but for you they won't add any value, and are VERY expensive for the budget-minded.

Thank you for your feedbacks they are helping me a lot.
