28-10-2019 3:16pm#1Hi Folks
I am putting together a desktop unit..undecided whether to give it a shot myself or get someone else to do it,worried I would make a mess of it ha.
Anyway want to pin down a spec first,budget 1500eur so if any of the kind folk here have any suggestions it would be much appreciated!!
The softwares used will be mainly utilizing a single core I believe in autocad,revit,sketchup..so good clock speed is important for these. Then the balancing act comes with the vray rendering engine,so the more cores and threads you have for that the better. I've settled on the CPU below given its value and performance,just hope it's stable on the softwares I mentioned as everyone seems to point towards Intel.
In addition then you have Lumion software which runs on the GPU...not sure whether the 2060 super is overkill or not..Not really planning on doing too much gaming or adding a second GPU down the line either...
Not sure of the motherboard either,from reading this one seem decent enough for a few years to come???
Would bumping the ram up to 3600 speed make a big difference or maybe sticking on 3200 but getting CL14 version???
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to put those together!!!
Interesting article,makes me wonder should i drop the the graphics card a bit and max out the cpu haha
However the gpu has to be an nividia,if you are going to use gpu rendering in vray only nvidia cards support it because it relies on cuda which is not available for AMD cards...
It was this article I read which made me lean to the 3700x as an option for its rendering performance over the 9700k,even though this particular benchmark is in cinebench..there is a vray one too on the site but unfortunately the 9700k isn't included in that one

I did take these benchmarks for each cpu for Vray Next from the chaos group website..

With V-Ray, it's important to note that the renderer does support AMD's GPUs with OpenCL, but in our testing, we've never managed to get a render out of it to look good on Radeon. It could be that projects are needed to be built from the ground-up, and not simply ported over, but even the standalone V-Ray benchmark has sporadic performance with AMD GPUs, so NVIDIA is really the only choice for V-Ray right now.
As with any render worth its weight in bytes, V-Ray can take full advantage of multiple GPUs, and will deliver massive performance gains as a result. Unlike SLI or Crossfire, you don't need identical GPUs to take advantage of multi-GPU with renderers, so if you're thinking of upgrading, you don't actually have to get rid of your old card, unless your system simply couldn't support two GPUs.
NVIDIA's RTX again shines here, even though the special RT core features have yet to roll out. The RTX 2080 beats out the TITAN Xp, despite being slower in most other tests, so it seems likely that NVIDIA has some specific Turing optimizations that do a great job of eking additional performance out of this renderer.0 -
