Work pc for rendering

[adey]

Hi

A friend of mine who builds TV sets and models etc has decided to go freelance. He’s asked me to put together a pc for him, his bread and butter program is rhino 6. Now I’m taking it he’s going to need as many cores CPU wise as possible so ryzen seems favourite, it’s the GPU I’m not sure about. His old machine was an old intel xeon with a quadro GPU.

So if anyone with any rendering experience could help me spec a tower only for around £1000 I would be very grateful.

Reading up about rhino, it's not massively parallel, so more CPU cores != More performance ... So higher clock speed would matter more.

GPU wise is different apparently. Bigger does equal better for rendering (complexity depending). More vram and more GPU cores increases the render speed.

Also some have commented on fast storage too.

Great that gives me something to work on, decent size SSD seems a must.

Does the person make a living from the machine? I assume yes from the first post.

He will be, he's going self employed very soon, and this will be his work station, I'll speak to him about the budget. He's really talented and I want to give him the best start I can.
