Title: Computer Setup for fast renders.
Post by: apoalek on July 20, 2011, 08:13:53 AM
Hey Guys,

I would like to know what do i have to look for in a computer in order to get fast rendering times. Lets assume i have 12GB of DDR3 -1600 ram, SSD drive.
Is it the processor  that i have to worry about, and i should get 2 quad core processors like  Xeon's, or maybe i7 6-core processor will give me similar performance?

Or maybe its the Graphic card and i have to get a nice nvidia quadro vcq 4000 with 2 GB or ram ???

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hello apoalek,

Your RAM amount is good. I wouldn't spend much on a video card unless you need it for other programs/games. It's all about processing power. Pau1 has put together a great table showing a nice mix of different configurations you may want to take a look at: http://keyshot.com/forum/index.php?topic=1425.0
