new pc specs
if you were putting together a new pc specifically for 3d work, what components would you order.I am thinking mainly cpu and video card here. I will probably go for a dual core cpu , 'amd' not 'intel' -
Re: new pc specs
Yeah SCSI is definitely where it's at as far as reliability. Most SCSI drives have a 5-year warranty but they will normally last much longer than that. Fibrechannel is a great bus for large arrays but it just comes down to how fast the seek times and sustained transfers are. A single drive is a good $300-$800 so that's… -
Re: new pc specs
Hey there, I am in the exact same situation as Ruz, same needs, same price range (with 20inch flatscreen included, haha). I was about to go for a Dell setup but realized that the dutch website don't have the same components than the french one, and is more expensive. Hence my question : do you know a reliable online seller… -
Re: new pc specs
my advice would be to get very decent RAM, preferably of the ECC type or whatever fancy error checking methods are "in" today. this can save so much trouble. and let's not forget a powersupply that can deliver reliably even under really heavy load. i only got misconfigured PCs at every workplace i've been so far and that's… -
Re: new pc specs
If your goal is to get a massive e-cock from your texture memory just make sure you get a card thats actually fast enough to allocate that much memory, i've seen 512mb 6800s perform the same as 128 mb 6600gts...

Re: new pc specs
Vermillion's setup is spot on, but I'd go for an SLI configuration. Forget that Quad SLI crap - driver support is horrible, and nothing takes advantage of it. Get 2x7900GTX cards and you'll smoke anything out there. More importantly though, what is your price range? -
Re: new pc specs
Get as much RAM as possible, and a BIG hard disk. -
Re: new pc specs
yeah I suppose 2gig ram is worth having . I was wanting to spend around 1000 pounds (1,856.30 USD) mr damage - I have used intel since 1997 and after having an AMD at work recently I found it a lot better. -
Re: new pc specs
Yea, deffinatly wanna get decent ram in there as well. And some restraints might be good, like how much money do you have to spend here?
