Workstation for animation and heavy work

For what you say you do, you don't need such a big machine or even by chance

With an i7 and 16Gb you have more than enough. And with that you can start to dabble in 3d with a very good machine.

If you talk about Xeon, you talk about expensive CPUs by definition. The i7, even being expensive, is cheaper... normally

Personally, I think you don't need that much.

The configuration you say you are putting together is fantastic... and you will take time to get 100% performance out of it.

@whoololon:

For a Cad in 2D you don't need much, no matter how beastly the project is and even if you work with solids instead of meshes.
Any configuration that works well in games from this year will work well, the usual is usually a Z170 with an i7-6700K, 16 Gb of RAM, 240 GB SSD and a GTX 1070.
Now, regarding the graphics, if you're not going to get into 3D professionally, we can get by with a second-hand 970 and a Quaddro M1000M or lower, the first one we'll use for the CUDA and the second for the drivers. It's a configuration for 2D design, or amateur 3D for resolutions up to 2K.
From there, we can go up to a 2011-v3 with a Xeon E5-2620 V4 or an E5-4620 v4, depending on how rumboso you are, with their 32 GB or 64 GB of RAM. In terms of graphics, a Titan X with a Quadro M2000, or simply an M4000. We would already be talking about a semi-professional team of high (price) performance, for 4K resolutions.

…and let's relax tits damn it. :love:

It's that for 2D … it's that you don't even need a 970, jeez

If you want to get into 4K, well... the first thing would be a monitor that supported it too.. I mean..

[whoololon]

It's just that we know what happens when you usually buy a computer to work... that some games end up being played. :ugly:

PD: Besides, if you have to render, it will always be better than using integrated graphics. The monitor thing goes without saying.

The monitor thing... If I told you.....
Regarding the graphics, I didn't mean an integrated one.. But the 970 is still a lot of money
Any would be fine

@Revdin:

And returning to my topic of the motherboard with two processors.

Who needs a card like this?
Is the format ATX or is it another?

Thanks

To this day, no one has two CPUs in a desktop computer. They are used almost exclusively in servers, render farms, supercomputers, etc...

A 4-core CPU is like having 4 of the old processors.

For AutoCAD 2D and 3D dabblings, a core i7 like the one you say broke is perfect. What I don't understand is why you don't fix it.

What I was also saying is that I have bought a new PC that I am building.
My first build!!!!!!!!!!!

As for the thermaltake, it broke the motherboard, and with it, the processor in a way and the memories.
Last week I met Alberto from a local service who apparently is a handyman who has sometimes recovered motherboards. I will take it to him. Although with the desktop I am building - much more powerful - and my project for a workstation, I am sure I will get more speed and efficiency.

Thanks

Any would do

The computer I'm building has an integrated one with three outputs. That is, three monitors.
I'm going to use it like this because the pc has 32 GB of ram. But if I see that it's slow, I'll put one of the old graphics cards I have. One with 1 GB and another with 512 MB.

If you want to go into 4K, well... the first thing would be a monitor that also supports it.. I mean..

2D and 3D animation.

Don't correct me so much that in the end I don't know what I want…..

:ugly:

[Revdin]

And well, let's see if someone can give me a link to:

The motherboard you would choose:

The microprocessor you would choose:

Everyone here assumes that I'm a dimwit and doesn't know how to look things up. They always end up sending us dummies to google when it's so much more fun to consult the experts.

:love:

[Revdin]

Well thanks to all.
I have to continue with the assembly of the pc that is already bought.

Then we continue with this post.
And if with the bought one it is enough when I finish assembling it with the help of everyone we comment on how it is.

Okay?

Then I will put the link of the assembly here. I will open a post in another subforum with images of my little problems in case someone helps me out.

Yes, better finish assembling and try giving a little to the editing. I doubt you need more power for the use you mentioned.
If it falls short we will continue configuring something more powerful.
