3ds Max - Workstation

[hannah_van_e]

Hello 3ds Max community!

I'm considering a new workstation build for my heavy 3D rendering tasks and wanted to get some insights from the experts here. The specs of the workstation are as follows:

• 128GB DDR5 memory
• Intel Core i9 14900KF processor
• 2x NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPUs

More details; Considering to buy this workstation

The workstation is tailored specifically for 3D rendering and I plan to use it for complex scenes, high-res textures, and multi-pass rendering. I’m curious to know if anyone has experience with similar configurations, especially when working on large 3ds Max projects. How well do you think this setup will handle intensive rendering tasks?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

That setup looks top notch!

I got a 14900K/4090/128 GB setup myself and can only say its a beast !

I have no experience in using multiple GPU's for vray or arnold rendering though, and how well this will scale ?

I figure its 200% perf when rendering completly seperate frames, but dont know how good this will scale for one single image. Would be curious to hear experience from others how well that works out...

And be sure to get a matching PSU for this beast, the two 4090s + the CPU will need it !

Those computer specs look sufficient for just about anything you want to throw at it.  Depending on your workflow, it may be overkill if you're not able to use all the resources you have available.  Downgrading components can save some money, such as a lesser CPU if you plan on mainly GPU rendering, or just one video card if your pipeline can't effectively utilize both simultaneously.  RAM is generally pretty cheap, but 128GB is a lot of memory.

That being said, if you can afford a little overkill now you can wait a little longer before replacing your system due to insufficient performance.  Today's top of the line system will be sold at bargain prices in just a few years as technology improves. 

If you've got the cash now, go for it!  And let us know how much a$$ it kicks.  🙂
