3d benchmarking

[JFunk]

Hello there!

I was wondering... 

If i'm not a gamer but i need horsepower for 3d rendering and parametric modeling, should i rely upon games benchmarks? 

There are many different tasks which, i'm sure, have a lot in common with games requests but, are they? I'm talking about tasks like grasshopper for rhino ones or kangaroo (like dealing with almost endless cloud of points to mesh)... 

Could it be possible (by the time that would be, i guess, easy to do) to create a new way of benchmarking builds for us not that much gamers?

 

Thank you in andvance!

Rog real bench, and cinebench r15 are good benchmarks for that. But if you need to know what hardware to get then you can just ask the forums, we will probably know.

Thaks for your reply! 

I'm just building my first pc and i'm planning to get a gtx 1080 and a ryzen 1700. That should be a good combo, right? I know by browsing internet that those are, somehow, the best deal for price/performance. But i'd like to see, other than just videogames, something more dedicated to the case. I'm sure that a dedicated part of ltt towards the specs of hardware for high end 3d modeling would have a great success!

That would be a great combo, make sure to overclock both of those though.  I'm not sure what 3D modeling requires, I know animation likes lots of cores, graphic editing like aftereffects likes more gpu power, etc. photo editing needs just raw CPU power. And a dedicated part of LTT for modeling and stuff would likely have little success as there isn't many people doing that type of work. Although I would find it interesting.

That's the point! Nobody talks about 3d modeling (i suggest to have a little look at grasshopper processes, which are very computer consuming sometimes) and hardware relative to that kind of tasks! Toghether with gaming and video editing, LTT would become a complete guide, for ignorants like me, when it comes to decide what to buy and understand what the market has to offer... 

By the way, i digress...
