Time to change my pc?
polycounter lvl 6
Ok then, I want to create 3D characters for games, but after the sculpt I have always problems using TopoGun and Substance Painter, they lag a lot and it is impossible to work with them. The components of my pc portable are the following:
-Intel Core I7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20 GHz
-8 GB RAM
-NVIDIA GEFORCE GT540M - 2GB
-500 GB SSD & 500 GB HDD
It's an old computer that I've upgraded where I could, I think the problem is my video card, so I googled some computers and found an HP OMEN 870 AT 1.400 € with the following features:

Is it a good computer for my purposes? Is it worth spending that money?

Lots of valuable information in there.
About you pc I can't say much, that is for you to decide. The thing that I took into account with my computer is how much time I was losing on rendering, starting up software and the amount of waiting because my cache was full. I eventually spent about 2k on my computer and I have to say it is worth every euro.
What specs would you want from your new build, how much are you willing to spent and can you upgrade in the future? Again, it is up to you.
Oh, thank you! You've been very helpful
It might be that newer video cards and drivers will automatically do it for the application without the need for the app to be built to take advantage, but it used to be that the app had to take advantage of it, which most did not.
