Graphics & Rendering

Rendering, VFX and creative production

The graphics card and clock speed matter most.

Most important first

What this work needs

1

Video memory, which sets the ceiling on the scene

A scene that does not fit on the card renders far slower, or not at all.

2

High single-core clock speed

Scrubbing, previews and modelling run on one fast core.

3

System memory for previews, and fast local storage

Previews and caches need system memory and a separate fast drive.

Where money gets wasted

ECC memory or a server platform. Spend it on the card and clock speed.
