Re: PC for Maya Zbrush and Photoshop
Going for a 5820k over the 4790K is a huge long discussion, about half of this thread is talking about it, http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2347798 Basically, going 5820k Haswell-E typically costs around $200 more (for the ram and motherboards) than going with the 4790K. The 4790K is better at tasks that… -
Re: PC for Maya Zbrush and Photoshop
I agree with TBD69. The 5820k is slightly faster for some of ZBrush's most computationally demanding applications, but it's more expensive and requires a more expensive motherboard as well. When it's all added up, the 5820k should be slightly more bang for your buck related to multi-core tasks, but it's guaranteed to be… -
Re: PC for Maya Zbrush and Photoshop
You're probably right. I was just looking at this list http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/ And by that, it's a little faster than the 4790k, but checking Cinebench, and it's a lot slower on multi core. http://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu_benchmark-cinebench_r15_multi_core-8 Or you can tack on an extra $120 to upgrade it to a 6700k,… -
Re: PC for Maya Zbrush and Photoshop
I'm a little confused because you suggested a budget of £1000, but then the build you've started is on pace for a fraction of that. If your budget is £1000, than I'd certainly try to go with a quad-core processor (important for zbrush), and if at all possible you want at least 16GB of ram for decent modern zbrush… -
Re: PC for Maya Zbrush and Photoshop
I also went with a Haswell 4790k build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ft3LTW. I'm very happy with it, but I was in a hurry. If I could've waited, I probably would've held out until DDR4 memory had come down in price a little and gone with a skylake 6700k with 64GB of ram (or at least 32GB of ram as 16x2 for a future upgrade).…
