Hi there
I’m about to switch from mac to a new windows 64bit prof. with the following specs:
Grafikkarten NVIDIA Workstation
PNY Quadro FX 3800
NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800, 1024 MB, 256 Bit, PCIe 2.0 x16
CPU Sockel 1155
Intel® Core™ i7-2600
4x 3400 MHz, 4x 256 kByte, 8192 kByte, Sandy Bridge
Solid State Drive 2,5 Zoll SATA
OCZ Vertex 2,5" SSD 60 GB
60 GB, 230 / 135 MB/s, € 1,92*
Festplatten 3,5 Zoll SATA
Samsung HD502HJ 500 GB
500 GB, 8,9/16/7200, € 0,06*, Serial ATA/300
*2
Mainboards Sockel 1155
ASRock P67 Extreme6
Intel® P67 Express, ATX, 3x PCIe 2.0 x16, SLI, Crossfire, 1155
Arbeitsspeicher DDR3-1600
Corsair DIMM 16 GB DDR3-1600 Quad-Kit
16384 MB, CL9 9-9-24, 4, PC3 12800
—-
overall: € 2100
but I’m no hardware expert. I just read some threads and tests and looked up some hardware.
So I’d like to know what’s more important: a lot of ram (16 or better 24gig?) or a awesome graphic-card. this one is specialized for rendering and I read that 3dsmax supports its new technology.
this might be an alternative:
PNY Quadro FX 1800 Retail, DVI, 2x DisplayPort
—-
with this graphic card instead: € 1700
I’m new to 3dsmax, maya and fumefx, but I want to get something I can work with for quite a long time without getting to slow in terms of renderingspeed.
I’d be glad if you guys could give me some advice about that. Sounds this like a good system?
thank you in advance!!
