  • thank you for all answer..

    if i have much money i buy recomandation but...for the moment i have an opportunity tu buy sh xeon....

    Model ThinkStation Lenovo P700

    Processor 2 x INTEL XEON E5 2650 V3 DECA CORE
    RAM 64 GB DDR4 ECC FB (8 gb x8 dimm)
    HDD 256 GB SSD
    GPU-RADEON RX 570 Series with 4gb

    and pay 960 usd.....

    I think change RAdeon with NVidia RTX 2080 with 8gb ...

    And buy for more memory....

    P700 have 12 slot dimm...so can add another 8gb x 4 pieces.....

    In final....is enough power for leraning daz3d and make animation 3d?

    Using Blender, Cinema 4d and other software?

    Buget for the moemnt is 1000 usd. and in few month adding and changeing components

    Sorry for my poor english...

     

    All recomandation offered in this forum are verry good but over my power.....

    So can tell me if this configuration for starting is ok?

    i thin can add more NVIDIA card after time....

    Mother board support up to 3 video card....

    BTW, for rendering can use different card or maybe all card could be same model?

    Can put RTX 2080 and GTX 1650 and GTX 1070i ? For example

    or need all card same model?

    You're spending a lot for it. That stuff isn't worth $500. 

    Stay away from old Xeon workstations unless you can get them dirt cheap. There's a reason people are dumping them right now. For that same $960 you can build a far more powerful system new.

    Here is something to look at and I am sure the "uninformed" will be surprised... (but sill not care) lol

    https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i9-10900K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-9-3900X/4071vs4044

    Intel wins in every matrix except "value and sentiment".

    A whopping 73 points go to pure hype. 

    10 Intel cores versus 12 Ryzen cores.

    I will say that "sentiment and value" will get you a bad cup of coffee. ROTFL  :)

    Which company can do more with less? That by definition is the true measure of "innovation".

    Hype is worthless and should not even be considered.

    Drooling fanboys do not a great product make.

     

    AMD 

    Hugely higher market share.

    Much more popular.

    Cheaper.

     

    Intel

    Better value

    (Do you know what better value means? It means that the extra you spend you make back over time.)

    I agree with Richard to definitly go with an Nvidia card

    https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/workstation/thinkstation/thinkstation-p-series/ThinkStation-P700/p/33TS3TPP700

    This seems like a really good workstation and it is worth $960 used.

    It seems it has 40 lanes per core a good buy.

    You might have to upgrade the power supply for more than one graphics card.

    Some motherboards have proprietary power supplies..

    Intel's 18 cores versus AMD's 64 cores

    AMD's 64 cores (Hugely more recent)

    Intel

    Best Bench: 96% Base clock 3 GHz, turbo 5.1 GHz (avg)
    Worst Bench: 75% Base clock 3 GHz, turbo 3 GHz (avg)

     

    AMD

    Best Bench: 87% Base clock 2.9 GHz, turbo 2.9 GHz (avg)
    Worst Bench: 79% Base clock 2.9 GHz, turbo 2.9 GHz (avg)

     

    Price

    Intel  $817.00

    Comment: It seems AMD has built 64 tricycles versus Intel’s 18 supersonic jets... (But the price has been switched too)

    Yea, AMD was the first to make a 64 core cpu. lol 

    And now AMD has stopped racing to make weak CPUs and they are copying Intel and trying to make better single core performance.

    Now that is a novel idea,  ...and how about better overclock speeds too? lol

     

    Oh, and there is this:
