Will this PC spec handle most 3d programs from Autodesk and others?
Hi Guys, I need a CPU that will handle 3d programs like Maya, Motionbuilder, Cinema4D, Adobe software, etc. I won't be doing much rendering and time spent rendering isn't a factor. I also won't be doing ANY gaming at all. Not even a bit. The PC will just be for general use and 3D work. I just need a CPU that will run most… -
Re: Will this PC spec handle most 3d programs from Autodesk and others?
I personally lean toward intel and Nvidia, I've been burned by ATI and AMD in the distant past and they've pretty much lost the performance and optimization war. There has been some noise about AMD's new processor being able to compete like ZacD mentioned, but it's not out yet. It might also require programs and… -

I went for the Dell XPS 8910 with 16gb of ram, intel i7 CPU, 2gb GTX 960 with 2tb HDD and 256G SSD. -
Re: Will this PC spec handle most 3d programs from Autodesk and others?
At a minimum, a desktop PC used for 3d art these days should have 16GB of RAM, and a GPU with 4GB of VRAM. I would highly recommend not going below that. If you get something with an SSD, it needs to have at least 120GB of storage to fit the OS + base 3D apps (ie. Max/Maya/ZBrush/Photoshop/Substance designer/etc.), or… -

Also, I would make sure to install SSD's not old school 7200rpm platter drives. I would only use platter drives for cheap mass storage, you'll want SSD for your OS, programs and main working file storage. Otherwise you're crippling your system anytime it goes to read/write from the hardrive(s). -

I might wait until the new year to see how Ryzen and Intel's new CPU match each other. -
Re: Will this PC spec handle most 3d programs from Autodesk and others?
I'd look into buying second hand / past gen intel CPU's. You might be able to find a bargain somewhere locally. For instance, you could buy an i5 2500k for around $50 AUD on ebay, and despite that being a few generations old now it's still very capable. I'd also spend less on the motherboard and more on the PSU, because… -

I would wait until AMD releases Ryzen, probably in Q1 if you want an AMD build. Unless you need a build ASAP.
