Rendering build advice

[arlonis]

Hey everyone!

I'm building a workstation focused on rendering performance. Could you help me with that? I'm thinking to go with a threadripper 7980x, from what I saw has an amazing performance in corona renderer (https://benchmark.chaos.com/corona/v10/scores?index=1&order=desc&by=rays&my-scores-only=false), I need at least 128gb, more would be good but not essential.

Budget: £8.000 a bit more / a bit less
Use: Rendering / 3ds max / Corona render / Photoshop

thank you!

Hi!

I need 128 GB RAM and 3ds max uses GPU for viewport purposes. I have an RTX 3080 today, would be nice to have something a bit stronger.
If the budget is off, I can go higher.

Thank you!

Memory you want rdimm so you want to check the certified list for which board you get.
