Everybody i asked was mentioning the "low" amount of RAM.. but i also thought that 4000MHz 64GB CL16 RAM should be totally fine and fast af.. And a few say that the 3090 is the go to GPU bc of the VRAM, but you need the 5950 to fill those.. the more i read, the more i get confused. And you don't have to split the SSDs to…
Hey @Denicon Right now Epic recommends for UE5 a 12 core CPU (Ryzen 5900X), 64GB of RAM, and a Geforce 1080 or better GPU (at least for running the "Valley of the Ancients" demo). So you probably should get a PC with at least those specs atp if you want something that will last. For GPUs, while the 3060 does have the most…
Because everyone believes more cores = better active work or better "productivity". Productivity sounds "cool" but it is too broad of a term and people love to overuse it when it comes to CPUs. Productivity doesn't mean more cores = better. I prefer active work over faster CPU rendering time. Just people should start using…
My PC is about 9 years old and it's been long due for an upgrade. I already bought an EVGA RTX 2060 KO Ultra last year, so I'm just upgrading my CPU, mobo, and RAM now. I'm mainly 3D modeling, texturing, and rendering. I bought the mobo already on Amazon and I'm gonna pick up the CPU + RAM soon from Micro Center. Just…
Hey guys! Looking to add a 32" monitor to my setup. I have one 24" 1920x1200 right now. Probably two 24" monitors setup would be pretty good but I prefer having all the tools/panels for the same program on one screen. I've already seen a 27" 2560x1440 but it doesn't look a great upgrade for me. And one issue was that…
If you want to use stable diffusion (to critic your work, give ideas on your character/Environment) then nvidia is the way to go. Doesn't work great on amd or might not even at all. Also now I would recommend the intel i9 13900k or 7950x. The generational jump was in both single core and multicore performance too big to…
Hello! Been stalking polycount for a bit but decided to make an account specifically for this thread! I've been building a pc primarily for 3D Modeling, Animation and Texturing, right now I'm a student and about to graduate.. I typically work in 3DsMax, Maya, Mudbox Photoshop and Unreal though planning to work in Zbrush…
If you're a 3D artist in need of a new computer, or just want to upgrade an old one, this is the thread for you! Building a PC can get very expensive, and many simply don't know enough about computers to make an informed decision on what to buy. This thread aims to help those who are less tech savvy, or whose knowledge is…
