Computer Build Review for 3D rendering/animation
Hi guys, I just received the parts of all my orders for a new computer build: i7 4770k intel processor 16 gigs Ram g.skill sniper (will upgrade to 32 gigs later on) gigabyte gtx 780 3gb GPU 250 gb samsung evo ssd 650w 80+ gold S12 seasonic PSU asus z87-A motherboard (got a cheaper one to save some money) i'm a hobbyist who… -
Re: Computer Build Review for 3D rendering/animation
You're comparing your desktop hub to render node specs? I'm confused. with some research you should of found that people will render on a separate computer - depending on what type of industry you're talking about.. If you're good at your craft you can create a professional animation with a less than ideal $1000 desktop so… -
Re: Computer Build Review for 3D rendering/animation
Hi there, I was in the same shoes with the GPU vs CPU rendering. I actually end up with 4 GTX 780 with 3gb RAM and even bought the Octane render for hopping the best result. And Bought an 1500w PSU of course. But I missed the point there because no matter how hard I tried I just didn't like the way how the GPU rendering… -
Re: Computer Build Review for 3D rendering/animation
Indeed. Good production models using normal maps instead of displacement maps for ALL, can make a rendering very very fast. BTW, GPU rendering is faster than rendering with a dual xeon with too many cores. The bad... some friends lost their expensive GTX videocards; with too much GPU stress is quite easy to see a DEAD… -

You should be good-though buy yourself a second hard drive for all your work. That SSD will fill up Fast. -
Re: Computer Build Review for 3D rendering/animation
Hmm I disagree with that. It seems that the only real advantage a Quadro has is support for AutoCAD (not applicable) and OpenGL performance (viewport). With Viewport 2.0 DX11, a GTX becomes a great option. In addition, if a program is using CUDA (V-Ray, xNormal, etc), a GTX card will demolish a Quadro for the price. In… -

Definitely agree with this, we have some settings at work that'll take about 18 hours for a frame in Vray -
Re: Computer Build Review for 3D rendering/animation
I was talking about using the GTX 780 or a sli of GTXs just for rendering. EVGA may have a nice warranty, like other builders, but you'll suffer the nuisance and dissapointment of having burned cards and all the whole replacement. We can use CUDA for some renderings, but just that. If you are going to use the gpu almost… -
Re: Computer Build Review for 3D rendering/animation
Render times really depend on how well you optimize the settings, a frame can take anywhere from 2 minutes to 2 hours+.
