Right Hardware

[Anonymous]

I have 8th Gen core i7, 16 GB Ram and GeForce GTX 1060 6GB with Max-Q Design/PCIe/SSE2.

I followed this simple youtube tutorial and system took roughly 14 mins to complete the render process. Now, I am wondering if I have the right hardware or not.

Can anyone please advise me about the right hardware? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! Looks like the user in the tutorial is working with 2017, here are some specific links to use as a reference to check if your machine meets the necessary requirements for that version:

• Maya Certified Hardware (graphics cards)
• System Requirements for Maya

It's also important to make sure that your graphics card drivers are up to date. Out of date drivers can make the viewport run slow, crash frequently, etc. This article has a guide on how to identify driver version, and how to find current downloads: General Troubleshooting Steps for Maya

Lastly, I would make sure that your version of Maya is up to date as well. Updates are separate install processes outside of the initial download - regardless of when Maya is installed, the updates will have to be installed independently. Follow this guide to locate and install the latest updates for your version: Where to find updates for Maya

Let me know if there is anything else I can help with! 🙂 Happy to assist in any way I can!
