Hello everyone here at Highend,
I apologise for another 'help me with this spec' thread as I know you must get a ton. I am however very much stuck, I have two specifications. One is a Boxx spec that I can get through escape studios and another is a rig that ive selected parts for. I am wanting a machine that is good for Architectural renders (no animation). Im wanting a spec that can handle large populated scenes to be rendered. I also will be using it to do low poly games work, but mainly higher architectural vis.
I do however play alot of games, if I didnt I would probably go down the boxx route. I am definatly after a machine that could have a balance between games and vis.
Here are my 2 specs.
Spec One - Boxx 4850 Series
Intel Core i7 940 Processor (2.93GHz) (Quad-Core)
6GB DDR3 1333 (3 DIMMS)
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800 768MB
250GB 7,200rpm SATA
500GB Serial ATA RAID 0 Array (2x 250GB 7,200rpm)
20X Dual Layer DVD RW Writer
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
BOXX 3 year limited warranty
Spec two - Hand picked
Coolermaster Cosmos S Case,
Gigabyte GA EX58 UD5 Intel X58,
Intel Core i7 940 2.93GHz,
CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 1000W PSU,
Standard CPU Cooling Fan,
Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz,
1TB 7200RPM SATA II,
Samsung SH-S223 22x DVD RW Black SATA,
2 x Sapphire Radeon 4870 X2 2GB in Crossfire Mode,
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium,
802.11g WiFi PCI adapter,
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
I really hope that somebody can put me down the correct path here.
Thankyou for reading,
Dan.
