Hello guys,

 

My girlfriend is a 3D content creator, and she'll be buying a new system. Someone at her work offered her this system. What do you guys think (it's in €)?

She doesn't want the watercooling, tho

I put a .gif to show her work since I don't want to get banned for advertisement :D

 

Thanks !

Appreciate :D

 

Also, does 3D rendering benefit from Nvidia or AMD technologies?

Since we'd like to spend as little as we can

I don't know much about 3D rendering, I do video editing using premiere pro which benefits from Nvidia cards.

@RaptorCandy

Do you know anything about my previous question? :) 

 

"Also, does 3D rendering benefit from Nvidia or AMD technologies?"

Depending on if they use CUDA or OpenCL, or "none". You have look up what she uses and see if the programms support them.

The program's name is Maya and she uses Arnold as a 3D rendering engine

Maya: Yes

Arnold: Not yet. I'm surprised she hopped onto it so fast. It's HELLA new. But GPU acceleration will be available in the future.

So either AMD or Nvidia will be good, once they'll implement GPU acceleration?

She was kinda excited to use Arnold. From what I've seen so far, it works pretty well ^^
