Hello..

im planning to buy a new pc for appropriate render speed in daz studio 4.7 with using Reality 4 plugin .. :

AMD Prozessor FX-Series Bulldozer FX-6300 6x3.5GHz (Turbo Modus bis 4100 MHz)

Marken-Mainboard Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 + 1TB SATA III Festplatte + 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz Arbeitsspeicher

Gamer Grafikkarte: Nvidia GeForce GTX750 2048 MB DDR5 mit HDMI, DVI Ausgang

Do you think this System is good enough for comfortable rendering or should i invest more money.. I do render only at the weekend for fun and not commercial purposes..

greets

    It looks like you are going to have 8 GB RAM? I would suggest going to at least 16 GB to make things more comfortable.

    Reality uses Luxrender, and Lux is capable of using a hybrid of your Graphics card and CPU RAM, but how well that version works I don't know. Your card appears to have 512 CUDA cores, so it may speed things up a bit if you use the hybrid version of Luxrender.

    it is a complete package that comes even with monitor eg... but no option for more Ram.. id wish to have at least 16 gb ram too... maybe i should buy the 8 gm ram seperately and insert them .. the problem is how can i find out if the motherboard has the required slot for adding another 8 gm ram and which exactely is compatible.. any idea?

    You could email the people you are buying it from of course, or you could try using Google on the name of the Motherboard to see if it can be upgraded. I would imagine that it can hold more RAM, but it depends on how many slots it has.

    Best to find out first I think. You will quickly run into problems with only 8 GB nowadays.

    ok i can upgrade to

    AMD FX-6350, 6x 3.90GHz

    16 GB Elixir Original DDR3-1600 CL9

    i think this should be ok for rendering the next 2 years??

    Looks pretty good to me :)

    Plenty of cores and 16 GB RAM would be very useful for Luxrender or DAZ Studio (3Delight).

    You're probably better off in the long run. From what I hear, even the top AMD processors can't compete with i7's when it comes to speedy renders.
