Re: What is the best PC for game asset creation?
@EarthQuake Here's the peak (100% load) power draw of a GTX 1080 and a 6700k. If they're both being 100% utilized the total power draw between the two is 317 watts. I can't imagine that the Mobo / SSD / HDD would be more than another 100. Maybe there's something I'm missing? -
Re: What is the best PC for game asset creation?
I mean if you have no budget you could just double up on GTX 1080s and nothing will stand in their way RAM? I made a mistake when I only bought 8G for this Rig. If again you have no budget and are ramming two 1080s in there you may as well go for 32G DDR4 RAM - which is absolutely overkill and probably won't score you… -
Re: What is the best PC for game asset creation?
+1 to no sli +1 to 32 gb of ram +1 to at LEAST a ~500TB SSD, for a build at this level 1TB would be better (only like $300 these days) +1 to 1000w PSU being overkill, ~700w 80+ is all you should need, though I would NOT build a system with a 1080 on a 550w psu as someone else suggested Also, skip the "founder edition" of… -

Re: What is the best PC for game asset creation?
I'm pretty sure the Quadro equivalent of the $600 GTX 1080 is $2000. That does not give you any performance benefit in any modeling application (non CAD) or game engine for game asset creation. -
Re: What is the best PC for game asset creation?
Vehemently disagree on the Quadro. 1080 any day. Agreed on the ram. I'm just about to double up to 64gigs as 32 just isn't enough for my workflow. I rarely have less than 5 ram-hungry applications running all the time. Ram is so cheap I don't see why not have as much as my mobo can handle? -
Re: What is the best PC for game asset creation?
you are just throwing money at it. You should get an SSD with enough capacity for your system and all the software plus the project-data your working on. 1TB should be ok. Also get another HDD with 8TB for the projects your no longer working on. And you should also buy an external HDD for backup. I would also consider a… -

Re: What is the best PC for game asset creation?
@beefaroni: I speak mostly from personal experience here. I had a 550w PSU and it worked fine until I paired it with a 3770 and 980, slightly lower wattage than the combo being discussed here. It was a quality brand, 80+ efficient PSU that I never had any problems with, but when I swapped my 770 for the 980 it would BSOD…
