Hiya,

I just need some advise if there is a quicker better CPU that i can upgrade to. I work for a bespoke kitchen company who use ArtiCAD to produce images for how our products are going to end up. at the moment we are using a Overclocked Intel Core i7 5930K on a Asus X99 Deluxe with a Overclocked EVGA GTX Titan X.

Any recommendations on a faster CPU which will allow the program to work quicker and render the images quicker would be a great help. the program uses the CPU as its main power and not the graphics card so this leaves it a little difficult to do anything else on the computer with out slowing down the render.

Thanks for your help in advance

Xander.
 
Thank you to everyone for the suggestions - the website for the software is completely useless your right.

1. Memory currently in. Vengeance LPX 64GB (8x8GB), DDR4, 2400MHz

2. Also have a. Samsung 512 950 M.2 PCIe NVMe instead of the intel version - intel one was out of stock when the pc was made originally.

- Budget wise up-to £1000 to speed it up.

- I Will contact ArtiCAD to try and get some more information on thread use and system use.

- Looking in Task Manager - when its rendering its only using under 8% of the memory, threads is ranging from 2148 - 2158 Pushing at 100% Utilisation at 4.10Ghz Speed.
 
Thanks again for the help guys, Yes it is a possibility that i could spend over the amount specified i just liked to put a figure to it if needed to help with locating something fee-sable and not something which is over the top.

having a second mini ATX rig could work in the instance but it would mean having to get another license for the software, upgrading the screen for dual input and the build of the Mini Pc to still maintain a good standard of speed / work ratio. but then this could be a extra pc for the future when extra staff members are introduced.

will look at it as a option but will look into the ones mentioned. if anyone has any that are between 1000 - 2000 then let me know and i will mark this is a possible.

Thanks again for everyones help in this.

Xander Theodore-King.
